PORT ISAAC

This is my first finished painting using acrylics. I found this exercise in September 2009's Leisure Painter magazine.



Technique: Acrylic on paper.

RED SQUIRREL

When I arrived in the UK, I was amazed to see squirrels as I had never seen any before. I was particularly excited to realise they weren't afraid of people; in fact 2 of them climbed up my jacket until they reached my neck. (No, they didn't want to kiss me; they were just asking for food. And yes, I am one of those ladies that go to the park to feed squirrels and pigeons.)

I recently found out that the red squirrel population has decreasead dramatically due to the introduction of grey squirrels into the UK.

In order to preserve the red squirrel, a sniping area has been created somewhere between Scotland and England. And poor little grey squirrels have a sudden meeting with the Squirrel Reaper. RIP

Nevertheless, despite all the efforts, the only squirrels I've seen here in Edinburgh are grey, so I guess the snipers aren't doing such a good job.

MONTY

This is Monty. He is my riding teacher's favourite horse.
I think my blog wouldn't be complete without saying, how much I love not only riding, but also Tower Farm Stables, the riding stables where Monty is.

If you're planning on learning how to ride, and you live in Edinburgh, I strongly recommend Tower Farm.
