Animal blog posts about animals, wildlife, animal related subjects and animal art by Annabel Potter
I recently had a lovely holiday in Greece, my first time. I’d heard that there are normally lots of cats in Greece roaming around. However my title is slightly deceiving as I hardly saw any cats! I hope you’ve enjoyed this taste of Greece, I’d definitely go back. I’m sorry not to have seen many …
I’ve a few new paintings since my last post and keep meaning to take work in progress photos. This week I finally remembered to do it for some wildlife glass painting! Here’s a jug with one elephant and a faint outline of a baby elephant and now two! This is the first stage of a …
Ever feel you’re being watched! I looked up from my desk to see my neighbours cat fascinated watching me paint. My cat Lottie has started sitting there too, making me feel guilty with the odd meow as I won’t let her in. However cats, glass and paint don’t make a good combination, so I’m not …
My cat Lottie was walking on three paws last week. It looked as though she had been bitten or possibly stung by a bee – My ceanothus was in full flower and swarming with bees, although heavy rain and wind has sadly battered the blossom since! She had a small raised bump on her paw …
A caption competition seemed a good idea at the time but with no entries, it obviously wasn’t 😐 No worries, I will write about bits and bobs instead and hopefully something else will interest or inspire you! First up I wanted to share a wonderful way to deter ants from your house. I’d not had …
Here are the first two photos for the caption competition. Please leave your caption suggestions in comments and at the end of May I’ll set up a vote. There will be prizes 🙂 If you’d like me to feature your art work for this caption competition, please do contact me.
In my last post I mentioned I planned to do a caption competition. For this I’m looking for art work. If you have any photos or pictures that have a great caption or perhaps you’re struggling with a title for a piece of work and would like ideas, please email me a photo to be …
So I’ve made it to the end of my animal alphabet challenge. It’s been good and I’ve discovered quite a few animals I’d not heard of and I hope you’ve enjoyed it too! The letter Z gave me little choice, a zebu or zebra. I’ve only painted a miniature zebra before so had a go …
I’ve discovered Zazzle, an on-line print on demand service, so my penultimate letter Y challenge is a few days later than planned! Zazzle is great because you’re able to add your designs to a variety of products without having to keep stock yourself and zazzle does all the posting too. Customers can also customise items …
Hope you’ve all had a good week. We’ve been teased with some lovely warm sunny days, only for it to turn cold again! Mind you it was unseasonally warm, so I guess we’re just back to normal March weather. Since having my cat Lottie she rarely goes out, although I can’t blame her with the …
