Lost luggage, gone to the dogs
See your bag in this dumpster, located behind a Houston pet store? If so, contact Continental Airlines. The dumpster was filled with 68 bags, most of which were headed to international destinations. Fantastic. ...

Strange World Of Time Travel
I'm concerned that scientists may have already figured out time travel. But if they did, they're not even letting our Senators know about it. I guess it's another example of the closed Bush administration! Yesterday I read reports that ...

Send Loki and my DF some good travel vibes!
They're heading back to the Lower 48 for the holidays. Me? I have to stay here and work until the semester ends. Silly students, wanting educating and stuff. The trip is a bit of a hassle... Small plane charter to Bethel (ten minute ...

The good oil.
After too many days of fog we've re-emerged into the Autumn sunshine. Delightful. I love this time of year. The olives have been harvested and pressed and l'olio nuovo is celebrated and tasted. It's the most beautiful colour - an ...

Christmas Lights
No successful watercolours in the last two days so I'm posting our Christmas lights. The star over the tower is shot from our garden but it is visible for miles across the valley. On Boxing Day it leads crowds of people up through the ...

On Days Like This...
This is the gate leading from the tower which we pass through twice a day walking the dogs. Below is the main square. Here, outside the little bar under the arches, we have breakfast every morning. It is getting a bit cold now and I ...

Firenze
JC and I took the train to Florence on Thursday for a spot of shopping. That was pretty well abandoned when we realised what a beautiful day we had lucked upon. Almost too hot to sit in the sun! JC had a great time taking photos and we ...

Some figure work
I've been wanting to join a life drawing class but haven't been able to find one locally, so back to good old WetCanvas where there is a very lively, friendly, virtual life drawing thread. Photos are generously provided by the model ...

Watercolour sketches
I bought my first Hyacinth bulb at our Friday market. Couldn't find a proper bulb vase for it so it's sitting over water in a crystal champagne glass - not quite what I imagined. A Victorian bulb vase would be so pretty to paint with ...

Another leaf on the ground
I picked up a beautiful dry leaf when walking the dogs the other day. Had a heck of a time trying to render values in this dull foggy light. Though I'd post the sketch anyway. It's amazing how quickly one gets out of practise.

Why does watercolour hate me?!
About all I can say for today's post is that I am being diligent and posting regularly. I've had a very depressing couple of days with watercolour. First of all I spent a lot of time drawing a little still life of cups and rose bud. ...

Repeating myself
I think I've captured the colour of the buds but after painting three versions of this bulb already I'm rather disappointed with the leaves. I'll have another go when the buds burst.

Back in Time
Snowy and Dermott have just reminded me that this blog was supposed to be about their adventures in Tuscany. They have asked me to post their portrait with Santa. At this time of year the people of CF don Biblical costume and the whole ...

Pets and air travel can be a lethal combination
"When the cargo bin of the Continental Airlines plane was opened July 10, Joey, a 6-year-old mixed-breed dog, was found lying on his side, loose inside the hold. Joey had chewed and pushed his way out of his metal and plastic crate. ...

early Saturday morning with the dogs
I must have groaned out loud because my older dog (who at 3 years has the smarts to sleep in on a Saturday), lifted his head in agreement and repeated the gesture, which only encouraged the puppy to whine louder. ...

Have dogs, will travel.
I don't know whether this qualifies as animal cruelty but i should as heck wouldn't want a handle strapped up to me. In addition, I don't know whether this is the best way to handle a pet anyways. This isn't as demeaning as the "kid ...

Reply to Holiday travel - take the dog or leave the dog behind?
I'd say if you have the option of taking your dog along, do it. Our dog loves car rides, but we boarded her when we flew to Walt Disney World and she was miserable. She wouldn't eat, and she was very depressed. ...

Reply to Holiday travel - take the dog or leave the dog behind?
All the dogs are labelled as "offenders" and rolled out "most wanted" style at the start, however, on arrival the dogs get treated really well and sleep in a central heated brick built kennels, and it is the owners who have to sleep a ...
