JRR Tolkien & Bilbo Baggins strolling along Merton Street, Oxford after the rain, smoking their pipes.

The exercise was supposed to be a seasonal one about how to paint wet pavement reflecting evening lights, since the rain is here for the autumn.  I'm not sure I entirely got the wet reflected light as shiny as it could be. but I'm quite pleased with the cobbles and the figures. Also pleased that I managed to restrain myself from drawing 999 details into the buildings and just going for light and shadow.

Also, here is Rosie Roo putting on a fine display of Celtic Knotwork Legs.

I love that painting!

Somehow the photo of Rosie reminds me alarmingly of the anamorphic skull in the Holbein painting, "The Ambassadors"...

How strange! My mind went direct to Northumbria's Golden Age...

I think it's her colour and notably skeletal appearance.


It's the sort of pose my cats adopt, too. And advanced yoga practitioners...
