    Thankyou everyone for the lovely comments, I really appreciate them! Life has been very hectic the last couple of months, but I am very pleased to announce that “Blink” was awarded First Place in the Drawing category in a local art show that I entered this weekend.

    The original of this was created using artists colour pencils (Prismacolours and Derwents), but not watercolour pencils which I don’t use.
