And now for something completely different...

"The Owl and the Pussy Cat".

Inspired by the nonsense rhyme by Edward Lear. I left

out the honey wrapped up in a five pound note

however, being rather tricky to draw!

This is a painting of Sidney Sussex College Cambridge which I painted recently as a commission. The architectural detail was daunting as were the perspective problems, as I was working from an under-exposed photograph which was distorted by the lens which affected the vertical lines. However, it was a challenge which I enjoyed especially when the colours went in and it sprang to life.
