Rainy day admin

It rained all morning so once I'd got my boys to eat breakfast, get dressed, do some writing and drawing I allowed them to spend time playing on the wii - neither of them would choose to pick up a pencil normally as both find using pens or pencils too slow and unsatisfactory, so I'm insisting they do a small amount each day to improve their dexterity. They find most other things really easy to do so I think it's good for them to have a go at something they find more challenging.
Anyway while they were occupied I spent a bit of time doing some art admin. One of my jobs was to make sure all the paintings stashed in my studio are on my Facebook page - this is a photo of a new one. I was asked to do a Sanderling painting that captures the way they run hither and yon. I've loved looking at them and their behaviour and so have done a few extras. The actual commission has been delivered and it has inspired a few more. I love trying to capture behaviour and movement as well as shape in my paintings. Hopefully after the school hols I'll get along to the beach to get some photos and drawings in the field.
