    Ai - Sweet doll! Joan - looking forward to your sketches of Venice! Jade - lovely bird Ned, Jo. Fletch, Pine Cone, hi all. This year is hurtling through - we move to Daylight Savings here in NZ tomorrow. Our Spring has been weird with rain, hail, sun and snow! Typical Spring weather.

    Jo - The hail ripped into my beautiful array of daffodils which were flowering at their best this Spring! Best flowering they've ever been since we bought this house and moved in, then planted them 7 years ago. Such is the weather now!

    Hi Jade and everyone - Yes I would have been following the Scavenger Hunt for about 20 years! Particularly when it was such an important part of Wet Canvas. I've always loved sketching and drawing from life, but don't have a lot of time to post my sketches. But I still post some from time to...

    Lovely painting Anne! I've used Inktense for years and love them. Just bought the Inktense Pans. Very expensive and so different to watercolours, so taking a bit of getting used to them! I still love the Inktense Pencils best.
