Grandkids are the best, aren't they?

 I especially like the bit where they're learning to talk, and one of my favourite word scrambles came from Owen when he was around two years old.  It's been niggling at me ever since -  this study for a possible future painting arose from it.

Study for Ineffective Camelflage  2025  5.5" x 7"

Starting with an alcohol ink background (second photo below), I added some mark-making with Sharpie paint pens and then masked the camel off.

The finished study was a good reminder that alcohol ink backgrounds bleed, although if that's the effect you're looking for, it might not be such a bad thing.  😉

I also started some mark-making on the canvas 'palette paper' I used last week, and have some thoughts about where this might go as well.

And I just have to show you the sunshine we've had this week.  It's most unusual for this valley in the winter, and a delightful treat!!

May your week be filled with sunshine and colour (bleedable or not  😄).
