Celebration post!

I put in five designs for a sculpture trail in Norwich next year, and one has been picked out! So sometime in the next few weeks I'll be taking delivery of a 75kg hare sculpture to paint. I can't remember if I posted about the designs here or not, but the winning design is called Norwich Hareport and features some fairy-winged flying hares.

I'm eyeing up our living room space again and wondering where we are going to put the giant critter, while simultaeously doing random happy dances!

Then tonight in sketchbooking class we studied contrast. We were looking at tone and colour, and I had a go at a wolf in gouache. I was quite pleased how he turned out.

Must to a sketchbook round up post sometime soon too.

In the meantime, I need to complete three designs for each of the following sculpture trails for next year - a giant robin dressed as Robin Hood for Nottingham's Hoodwinked trail, 7ft tall giraffes for Worcester, and giant penguins for Dundee. Hee hee my life, huh?

HAREPORT. you should have some rabbits flying planes! maybe some nice ww1 open cockpit fighter planes, with hares wearing goggles and those helmets pilots used to wear. how cool, in any case, that they picked one of your designs! and yeah, you fit bears in your house, theoretically a hare, a robin, and a penguin should fit too. a seven-foot giraffe does seem a bit big, tho.

the wolf looks really nice!

Damn, I should have done that, especially as it's the 100th anniversary of the end of WW1 next year...
