Kid's Collages and Competitions

I have recently been popping into Alfred, my smallest son's school to help with some art projects. These are Reception class's  'Seaside Collages'. (In the U.K. the Reception class is the 4 and 5 year old's in their first year of Primary school.) I think the children created some beautiful work, I'm loving the colours, the textures and all the different materials.

.....also I thought to mention that I won this brilliant laptop bag from Bright Colours who make the most lush coloured bags and run regular competitions.

I sussed a where a photo was taken and to my amazement, as I never normally win anything, £100 and this bag arrived in the post. Perfect for my faithful little Macbook, tablet, sketch book, pencils, phone etc etc....well I always seem to be carrying everything but the kitchen sink!

Meet Anabel

 Life is busy not least because I am working on this little character, Anabel, and her story. She is having a frustrating time and I am having fun drawing her in her exasperation; I reckon it's because I identify with her maybe a little too much. Ho hum!
