I'm still practising my drawing.....this is number 8..... but tomorrow I must move on to adding paint and embellishments - I'm lagging behind. (Go and see Lynn's lovely piece and you'll see what I should be doing!I've had a busy week; it all started on Wednesday when DH and I went to Birmingham on the train (an event in itself!)
First stop was for coffee..... (it seemed a shame to disturb this)
...then we visited the Museum and Art Gallery.....
...where we had arranged to meet Rosie and her husband.
There was a special Edward Burne-Jones exhibition on (The Perseus Collection) which was a lovely surprise.
After all that the four of us had lunch in an Italian restaurant, where Rosie gave me a gorgeous present she'd made for my birthday (plus a fabulous art book.... Collaborative Art Journals). Lucky me!!
It was my birthday yesterday and this is my "official birthday portrait" taken by my personal photographer, lol !!! Please don't click on it to get a better view of the wrinkles and baggy eyes.

Happy birthday Linda. Your drawing is wonderful. I like the look of the art book your friend gave you and am glad you had such a great day out. You look great in your birthday photo - it's a lovely natural pose.

I shouldn't be to concerned about the time you spent on your faces. Look how long it took to paint the Sistine Chapel :)

Happy Belated Birthday Linda! (fellow Leo). So sorry I missed your birthday. Have sent off your fabric book this week and included a few goodies as a late birthday present.
Love the photo of you - you look like you have a twinkle in your eye and it is a lovely natural shot.
I think your number 8 drawing is incredible. This lady has so much feeling and character in her face.
Glad you had such a lovely birthday week - you deserve all good things. Wonderful gift from your dear friend Rosie too!
Much love

Happy belated birthday! You look great in your birthday photo.
Your drawing came out wonderful! Don't worry about falling behind alone. I'm right there with you. I'm only on the second lesson. I can't wait to see what your faces look like with color!
There you are again with your arms folded :) You look so confident, that is how I pictured you the first time I saw you too, and you look smashing by the way, you really do!!!!!!
Beautiful gift from Rosie and the book too? Wow, spoiled! I ordered mine when you told me and still waiting for it from Amazon, I can't wait to have it in my hands :) I think they were out of stock, it's taking so long.
Glad you had such a lovely day out, the galllery looks terrific.
Talk soon, Lynn
