Poor Nellie has a sad story. She is still patiently waiting for a home here. My husband, moved by her story asked me to draw her. It is a huge challenge to get the markings right enoug, with my coordination so poor and my eye so blurry. Each picture takes many hours and days with my very limited ability. I hope the picture foes her justice. I hope she finds someone to love her. You can read her story and see more photos and video here. https://pennypawsrescue.org.uk/?s=Nellie

 My longing for a corgi never really leaves. But is it a new one or an old one, no longer here and a life no longer possible?

  This is a  large bold cream dahlia that grows in our garden by my window.  The challenge of doing a cream flower is to get enough contrast in colours between the petals so it stands out.

With  the massive difficulty I am experiencing holding a pastel, seeing an image, creating something life- like in real life, I have decided to go back to my pastel roots and try out some abstract art, expressing my feelings and hidden reality. This is my first attempt. It is called boulders. It reflects the many boulders of all shapes sizes and descriptions that attack, assault or block me from functioning like an ordinary person might do with an ordinary life.

  Still sad Three years on With you gone Yet stills we feel you all around Your smile still lingers here And still we see you everywhere Your bark still lingers on  the breeze And honestly, I am still afraid to sneeze Incase you bark at me again  No dog to poke a wet nose at my paralysed arm So many special ways you charmed us Your ball lays silent in the grass No football played here anymore Your bedding and your toys all gone Your leaving  us is not quite so harsh Though painful memories still Can jab and stab at us. Mostly we feel your love And happiness Tenderly surrounding our Now quiet lives And are just so glad we knew you Even for a shorter while than hoped for Our Precious little dog.

What an incredible presentation this is! We are deeply moved by the depth and breadth of art on display, despite the severity of suffering people endure without relief.
