- 30th March 2005 - Old Master

This is an original, and it's old. Unfortunately not 'the' original and
not that old. Helen painted this many years ago at school - she's long since
given up art! However I've always liked it as it's SO colourful, and it's on really thick
double card, so it's survived many falls off the office wall (Blutak man's not
really up to it) and being stuck in boxes etc etc.

So that's today's PaD. It's very wet here - although I did walk the 5 miles
back from the garage this morning :)

Birds are getting braver, but I'm still not fast enough..... yet!

Away concert banding (Caravan Club) this weekend, so not sure when posting, but they'll
be taken on the day - and I'll have reset the camera clock by then (Thanks to Ric Yates
for the reminder!)... what you forgot too....

Philip and Christopher are guarding the house so they can keep an eye on thie birds, but
they'd better not get a good shot!

Very vibrant and artistic. You've captured it for posterity now!

You could easily sell that as a print... very well captured!

Very good! At least her ears will be ok now though.
Guest 30-Mar-2005 22:38
As vivid as the day it was painted? Certainly looks it!

Very colourful indeed. Eyecatching thumbnail!
Ric Yates30-Mar-2005 17:57
Almost Monet like from the thumbnail! Get Helen painting again - you could make a fortune with a bit of practice. :-)
