The Dolphin and the Crab were Friends

I did this painting as an illustration for a children's book around 1992. Being intended as an illustration it was painted on clear acetate over a pencil sketch, which proves layers were not invented by Adobe. :)

Well it's bit different than my usual work, but I thought I'd put it in my daily painting blog since it's interesting to put something different in, and because I haven't been doing quite so many paintings lately because I have been busy making some of my designs, illustrations and paintings available on various products including Posters, framed prints, greetings cards on a new custom products site called Zazzle.com

So that's another reason why I hunted out this illustration. I thought it would make a nice greetings card So I have made it available both as a greetings card and as a small print

The picture on the left is how it might look as a framed print. Although there are millions of other ways to frame it. :)

Glass of Water 6ins x 4ins Oil on Board

I think this glass originally came in a set of 6 which my parents bought some time in the 1970s. I believe it may be the last one left. This is my favourite glass at the moment. I normally drink red grape juice in it, but thought it would look good as a glass of water for a painting. Actually I have loads of glasses because I used to collect Nutella chocolate spread jars. But it got to the point when I had more glasses than a small pub and had to find people I could give them away to :)
