Ok here it is, suggested by @chunky monkey my members diary full of my creations, some good, some bad, some a bit middle of the road, but each and everyone of them a joy for me to create, some I hope bring something to my friends here on NR too. 
Evolving artwork

This is where it started, a chat with my youngest daughter about what she was doing ended in me digging out some very old watercolour pencils and pans and having a try .... my favourite tree, a ginkgo provided my inspiration
Soon after my eldest daughter suggested we set a ‘weekly challenge’ so the three of us took it in turns to pick the subject matter and show each other each week what we had come up with. My eldest has since told me she did it because she was worried that I wouldn’t cope with shielding very well and wanted to give me focus, little did she know that her idea was going to cost me a fortune in art supplies and a college course to boot, but I’m very glad and grateful to her all the same, this was my first proper attempt using water colour pans and brushes, I don’t remember the theme for this challenge and it’s pretty rubbish but hey, you have to start somewhere right?
This one is one of my favourite pieces, water colour pencils and gouache, ‘flow’ was the theme, from a technical P.O.V it’s pretty grim, but I love it.
Then I treated myself to some very yummy artist quality coloured pencils and took a snap of my friends horse ‘Blue’ to practise my technique.
Oh wow! Talent!
My favourite is actually the field of flowers under a starry sky. I just love the flowers.

I make cards now based on the flower design @Jane&Ziggy, they’re very popular.
Sweet pea flower, coloured pencil practice.
You know which is my favourite
I shall be posting him shortly.
This lovely chap was inspired by a photo that @Trewsers took of some driftwood she found, I named him ‘Orkney Sam’ and he was an absolute joy to create.
Bzzz, more coloured pencil practise.
May I post here if I can find the photo I took of the finished work? I know it’s very personal to youI love all your work flower but you also know my favourite
so it’s fine if you’d rather I didn’t.
Another one of my very early watercolour flower paintings
My other cat ‘Millie’ and yes she does really look that grumpy!
