Fierce Beauty

Hurray for the sunshine: I have completed my canvas of a European Eagle Owl in my sunlit studio - and I must say I really enjoyed painting this strikingly beautiful creature. I've also made progress with the canvas of two Welsh mountain ponies, which at this stage is going well; fingers crossed it continues to do so.

Today, however, I shall be visiting Jemima's Kitchen in Church Stretton to make a big delivery of greeting cards - and probably be tempted by their coffee and walnut cake, mmm delicious!
