PaintingsPosted by Debbie Craddock 18 Mar, 2018 17:13This is my stall at Flitton's Craft Fair today in Wallington. It was a very friendly place with lots of regular stall holders who were very welcoming. I didn't expect the weather to be freezing with snow on the ground in March but we had some customers and I sold some cards. I am hoping to attend again in May when hopefully the weather will be better.

The main challenge we transporting such a prickly specimen home!
PaintingsPosted by Debbie Craddock 19 Jan, 2018 19:16Now winter is here and there is no colour around I have returned some to pen and ink drawing as the subjects around at this time of year are suited to this medium. Here is a recent drawing of a Douglas fir cone I have completed. I drew it magnified to 1.75 it normal size so it makes more of an impact.
PaintingsPosted by Debbie Craddock 27 Dec, 2017 19:32Today I was making these cards for a craft stall I am doing in March. They are a series of original pansy paintings I did last winter. Most of the cards I sell are prints of paintings but these are the original watercolours.
The teasel is currently being used for a pen and ink study.

The Silver Maple below has had the shadow on the background erased which means that the texture of the paper does not show in the photograph.
