Back to my little project...

Here's the latest addition.
Of course I was going to fit a couple of squirrels in somewhere. These little guys are - I’m about to state the obvious - Red squirrels.

That’s R sorted - Emily you'll be happy to know S is next!

Rainforest Adventures

Now for something a little different!
This is a book cover for a collection of short stories written by the children my sister works with. I could have easily got carried away and had monkeys hanging all over the place, but I had to leave room for the title somewhere... maybe there’ll be room for more monkeys next time!

I found a Q!

There were 3 letters I was struggling with while working my way thought the alphabet with the British wildlife and plants theme. This was one but then I found Quaking grass.

The other 2 are U and X. I may have found a solution for U, but - as with the majority of a to z books that don’t include a xylophone - I might have to cheat just a little on X.

Pleasant Pheasants

Here’s Letter P. Quite simply, it's a pair of pleasant pheasants perplexed by a closed gate.
Try saying that three times fast.

O is for Otter

Considered making this one T...for Tarka, but what else begins with an O?

So here it is, O for Otter.

I wonder if I can get the next one done before the end of the week...

N is for... Dragonfly

I’m not going crazy! I know that it’s been over a month since I decided to work my way though the alphabet, but I'm still going. You may think that I've got this far and just fancied drawing a dragonfly, but this particular little fella is a Norfolk Hawker dragonfly. Now onwards to O.

14 down...12 to go!

Making Molehills

Here are a couple of troublesome moles, blind destroyers of lawns and ornamental grass verges across the country.

Emily - your snowdrops are on their way, I have a plan.

Leaf cutter bees munching on lilac

Special treat today! Two Ls for the price of one!

The Kestrel and The Pylon

I have returned to my desk - which is now almost free from inky smudges - to draw another bird.
This time it's a kestrel flying near a pylon. Seeing as the first thought in my head when it comes to drawing birds seems to be 'stick it in/near a tree', I fancied including something a little different . However, with a few more bird drawings before I get to Z, I may stick one in a tree. Just because I can.
