GALAXY

 This is the gorgeous GALAXY, A beautiful puppy looking for a loving home here in the UK.Hoping he is succesful. I am really delighted with the picture. It took massive effort with one eye not working properly and very blurry. It may be my last for a while as my sight continues to make art imposdibly hard to create. This took days of meticulously detailed working and I am so proud of the result.

Happy Christmas

Absolutely delighted

Image
I am thrilled that PennyPaws Rescue Romania to UK charity has created a beautiful downloadable calendar using some of my drawings of their dogs. What an honour The above picture is of Raffles, who is eight  years and still in need of a home. He has such beautiful eyes. He is featured in one of the New Pennyoaws Calendars. There are two different ones. One with photos of some of the dogs, the other with pictures I have drawn for them..  Just hoping  so much that it raises awareness of the need to help these and so many other dogs and hopefully brings in some donations. Winters are particularly cold and brutal for the dogs there. Hoping this will make a difference. Please take a look:   https://pennypawsrescue.org.uk/2024/12/17/2025_calendars/

I can see you before me vaguely through dark staring eyes Or sense your presence when lids are locked tight Yet the words will not marshal themselves together And I cannot make them comply with my will So that they can come marching down to my mouth They will not spill out into the world To make coherent sense. The lips lie fallow, unused. They are numb. They will not move. The breath is shallow Not enough breath then to give sound to the voice? But no It is more than this. The thoughts, though perfect, whole and complete Are stuck, as if in Suspended animation. There is no path for them t...
