Monday

Amphibians and raccoons!

The rain yesterday , brought this guy out to visit us on the deck this morning, we saw his cute little face peeking out of an aloe plant.





Much to Zackary's delight after moving him to a thyme plant , he seemed perfectly happy to receive some gentle love from Z's chubby little fingers! ( with myself and big brother Luke nervously directing the 'gentleness') But actually the 'viking' is a real nature lover and is very soft with all animals , insects etc..it's just us poor humans who are at risk!!.....heehee






Thanks to all who wished me luck at the art market yesterday, I was delighted I still sold work even tho we were basically rained out and only a quarter of the vendors showed and very few patrons.Texas does need it's rain when it can get it!
This was one of the pieces that sold yesterday..





Bye Soraya... I have enjoyed you.. ( I am thrilled this painting was sold to Chris a really lovely woman , who has previously bought from me and decided this one belonged next to her other one.
( Gotta love that!)




We had a gorgeous raccoon snooping around outside my window the other night, fishing out little dog bikkies out of an old bag( I just love the way they use those little hands, just like people!)
Direct inspiration for this little man....




"please just one more dog biscuit.....

I am awfully hungry...."
