Being in lockdown makes us all do funny things be they good bad or plain weird. So with that in mind I seem to be fixated on looking at green things and am still making ‘Gordon“ the giant Gecko , out of chicken wire and garden netting, with Polly our daughter. It’s probably the result of spending so much time in my garden! Although Gordon is being made to crawl down the outside of the house as one corner is always very shady. We still want to paint him and we need to work out how to do his eyes and not to mention how to attach him to the wall!! As for my interest in greens well I think it must be a need for calm which is what my garden gives me and I know we are very very lucky to have one.

Here is how we made him so far …..

I am back at my studio every Monday to paint and am thinking of opening for appointments only on what would have been Heritage weekend at SUNNYBANKMILLS, Farsely. I am in the Twisting Gallery. If you are interested in coming to see my work on the 11th /13th September then please email me on nelartforlving@yahoo.com
