Thank you very much Bill and Mike. I wasn’t very happy with the background but as you say Mike the background is anyway not the focus and should’nt be and watercolour is just so temperamental hehe, I love watercolour but it never does what it’s told as everyone who have tried it will know. Part of it’s charm I think, but maybe I am a little tiny bit control freakish so I am never happy with how it turns out.

Thanks Joel, I love fairy tales. I know not something most adults would admit to haha. When my kids were small I dragged them unwillingly to watch Disney films so Mom could watch them. So I guess the pic of the mouse reminded me of the fairy tales I love. Do you remember the fairy tale books we used to have?? So much prettier and nicer than the ones today with the most exquisite illustrations. I often go online to find new folk and fairy tales of course OLD ones none of the modern stuff. Grimm and Andersen and others of that age. Like the little match girl, the Happy Prince (with the pretty swallow) I think Oscar Wilde wrote that one. etc. Oh I better stop there once I get started I can go on and on.

Do I not see in this drawing style & hear in the above comment the birth of a a wonderful new project here ?
One that both your hand & heart seem perfectly suited :wink2:
Mike

Hi there Mike, you mean write a fairy tale book myself?? I guess I will let the muse decide that. I have never really considered doing anything like it, and I guess if I ever do it will be because I can’t help but do it. It was like that with poetry, one day out of the blue I had these words in my head and had to put them on paper. Then one day they all dissapeared again. It was but a short visit so who knows if one day a fairy might not come to whisper her sweet story in my ear. If so I will be here .. listening. And thank you for the idea, sometimes in idea must percolate through your mind and unconscious to come to life
