Congratulations on the calendar mate and i think you should definitely keep up the brush work. A lot of people think they can Draw/Paint/Photograph but you do have a talent (backed up by other peoples judgment).

Good one old man!! :ymapplause: :ymapplause: :ymapplause: :ymapplause: :ymapplause: :ymapplause:

Right, this is the scariest thing I have done.......posting this and I know I am in for severe stick. I know my voice isn't great, I know my guitar skills (six string) aren't the best......but here goes, this is what I am doing at the moment for a few hours every Wednesday

It's all rough but getting better week by week

Oi! That's really good ^:)^

I particularly like the spider and the fly :-bd

I have to say that your voice is pretty damn good, damn sight better than mine.



Only trouble is because I know it's you and how you remind me of Benny Hill, I was really hoping to find a cover of 'Ernie' :(

My first attempt at a horse (watercolour painting) - quite pleased but the jockey needs a bit more work

Water colours are very difficult I think. I watch that Painting and drawing programme on Propeller 192. They make it look so easy. :)
Nice try though. I expect the horse fell on the Jockey, that's why he looks like that. =))
