     Once again I have entered the Doncaster Museum Open Art Exhibition. I entered three paintings including the two above and 'Bone Collector'. These were the two that were accepted. As always the work I thought was best got rejected but at least I got two in.
      I have been working on larger pictures recently so they have more presence when exhibited but they still seem quite small next to other peoples. This year I especially noticed the larger works present but I am not sure I want to go any larger just yet.

Pigeons Are Fun To Draw

     I had a lot of fun making these drawings. I have wanted to do a series for a while and this provided the perfect opportunity to work on a particular theme. Well this pigeon looked particularly majestic sitting on the bird table and made a great subject. It also allowed me to flex myself and work on something living for a change. This has given me the confidence to tackle people again.
