I can’t believe it’s been 2 months since I started this alphabet challenge. The good thing is I am still very much enjoying it! There were not too many choices for the letter I and I’ve gone for an Iguana ACEO and an Irish Setter dog SFA painting (small format art, as explained in last …
Three of the H animals got votes this week- hedgehog, hippopotamus and hare. I’ve not done the hare yet, been distracted with getting a rescue cat but that’s another post! I have painted a hippo mixed media ACEO and hedgehog canvas, which can apparently both be classed as SFA. A new term I’ve learnt this …
This weeks alphabet challenge is the letter H and I found this cute hedgehog video to show you. As voting went down well last week, I thought I’d put it to the vote again. Please do choose which animal you’d like me to paint this week and put any suggestions for businesses connected to animals whose …
Thank you to everyone that voted in my alphabet challenge and giraffe won the day with gazelle getting some votes too. However I was on a roll this week, so ended up painting a gorilla too!

There are not so many animals beginning with E, so I’ve already started painting an elephant on glass! Please do suggest another animal for me to paint on an ACEO and a business connected to animals whose name begins with E, that I can feature on Friday. Keeping with E, I thought I’d show you …
For this weeks letter D I have gone for two seasonal mixed media paintings. The arrival of spiders and their webs on my washing line is a good indicator that autumn is on its way! I’ve painted an ACEO of a deer and a larger canvas autumn tree painting with dachshund dogs. I decided to …
Welcome to all my new blog followers and I hope you enjoy reading about my challenge as much as I’m enjoying doing it! So this week I will be painting an animal or two beginning with D, thanks for the suggestions so far. I’m thinking it will be a Deer, as I’ve not painted one yet and …
Hi, if this is your first visit to my blog welcome to my alphabet challenge. You’ve probably guessed this week is letter C. I love cats, my avatar being one of course! However this challenge is about painting something new, so I chose a camel and a crab. One crab became two on a candle …
We had a beautiful sunny day yesterday and coupled with the fact that all my shops, twitter, facebook now have my new animal name I’m feeling generous, so decided to have a 4 day summer sale starting today until Sunday. So a good time to get your animal mad friends, family or yourself a present! …
