Studio -Good friends and Happy accidents

The ducks were sunning themselves all day . It was a glorious day, everyone kept coming in and telling me how lovely it was to get out of the sunshine, and into the coolness of my studio. Meanwhile I shivered with my cardigan on, but then thats what having a cold does for you, so I will keep this brief and then off to get some paracetamols, and an early night I think.

After feeling a bit sorry for myself yesterday, I can't thank everyone enough who commented and e-mails. I do feel thoroughly ashamed of myself and incredibly lucky to have this opportunity, I guess I just want to make sure I do it justice.
I am always incredibly grateful for all the comments and e-mails I get , but I had one special e-mail today from someone I have never met, but who I have come to know online and I would call a very good friend. When her e-mail came it lifted my spirits and made me feel lucky to know such support and such lovely people. So thankyou, to all of you, it really does mean a lot x
This painting above is my happy accident, It all went terribly wrong. It was very bright and when I added bright blue in the background it looked hideous. So in a moment of frustration I washed it in the sink and then left it outside, in the sun to dry. I was expecting more colour to come out but what I actually got was this lovely bleaching effect , I then just added some details and there you go. Thats one of the reasons I love watercolours.

Heres my new card stand, I am well pleased with it.

Also my bags arrived and I finished transferring images onto them before I went to the studio this morning.

Anyway, I have rambled on more than I expected, so let see what tomorrow holds....less of a cold I hope
