Wot no photo's!




This is a sad day. As any one who knows me will tell you I take my camera every where with me but after only 2 years my latest digital camera has died. I think it fell out of my bag at school and it's never been the same since. I will have to just use photos stored on my computer for now until I can get a new one. Such a bad time, I could do with out the expense, hey-ho!


This little dilemma made me go searching for something interesting in my photograph folders and I came across two pet portraits I had previously scanned in. One is of Tilly, or as we use to call him "Bob" and the other is of Lucy. I still need to get them framed, something else on the to-do-list. I sell raffle tickets to win pet portraits for my local Cats Protection at their Christmas Fayre and it always makes a good bit of money to help needy cats. I have helped at fund raising events for them for years now and it's the one time I sit down and spend a whole 4 hours just painting. (usually the ironing makes me feel guilty!)


They are watercolours done on A4 paper and one day I will illustrate a book about cats, I have lots of ideas but no real time to do them, but one day........
PS this blog was originally called 'Dead Camera' but after reading the comments, thought I had better change it!

  1. Hello Lyn! I have just 'discovered' you after you left a comment on my blog. I am flattered that you read my blog all the way through. Your watercolour cats are very beautifully painted. I am also fond of Elvis the sheep! Needle felting is another one of those crafts that I must try!!!

  2. Crikey I read the title of this post and saw the cat and came (thankfully) to the wrong conclusion entirely. Just goes to show skim reading can be very dodgy! Love your watercolours too. I must show my sister. Love Sal x

  5. Thank you Simone, Sal and Lou.
    I enjoy painting but like I say, don't often get the chance to sit long enough to do it. Needle felting is quicker-if sometimes more painful!
    I plan to bite the bullet and pay for a camera on my card on Saturday, I can't live without one!
    Love
