i had a bit of fun with my new little canvas today...a photo shoot on my back deck. the sun was shining brightly (slightly harshly in all honesty for pic taking, but beggars can't be choosers ;)
i originally wanted to take a pic of the canvas sitting on a beautifully made wooden shaker-style box (a proper handcrafted one, all the way from the us of a) but it looked terrible. but inside the box i found this little cockerel, how long he's been there i have no idea...but how cute is he? i have amassed an enormous collection of vintage-y style plastic farm animals, saved from a recent cull from the boy's toy box because i just know they're going to be useful in my work some day. much to the disgust of my husband who said something along the lines of
'it was you who wanted to get rid of all this crap, what the bloody hell do you want to keep them for?' for art's sake darling, was my sheepish reply.
oh yeah, if anyone is interested, the new canvas is called 'forty-eight' and is up for sale. and yes, i'm fully aware it's red. again.
