Several weeks ago a friend 'dobbed me in' to do a painting for a lady we work with who is expecting a baby. I had been making a cute little owl toy as a demonstration for a class that was doing a textile project. We started talking about toys and nursery decoration and she mentioned that she would love a cute owl picture for her baby's room.
"Dette can paint you one!" ....indeed. I couldn't say no but in truth I felt happy to do it. Or so I thought.
I started to worry that she wouldn't like what I did.
That was weeks ago and I've had a hard time getting into it. I procrastinated and watched a complete 4 series of Sanctuary, did quite a bit of crochet. Finally i thought it was time to start. It was the impetus for the studio clean out and finally today I transferred the sketch to canvas an made a start at last.
It shouldn't take long to finish, just as well as the baby is now due in a week or so! The best thing is I can leave it all set up and ready to go again tomorrow.

She will love it, I especially love the moon touch!! There's nothing like a deadline to make you finish something,unless, like Douglas Adams, you like the sound of the whooshing past!!
