Harris Hawk - Wimbledon 2013

This is a watercolour of Harris Hawk who does the same job as you may have seen or heard about Rufus doing. Basically he has keepers who during the Wimbledon Championships let him off to fly around which is meant to scare of the pigeons, and they both work! Britain's number one Laura Robson is due on court number two second or third today against New Zealand's Maria Erakovic in her 3rd round match. Elsewhere in the Wimbledon Championships we have Colin Fleming and Jonny Marray (not to be confused with Andy Murray!) seeded 9th in the Men's Doubles, currently playing and two sets to love up against F. Cermak and M. Mertinak (I haven't a clue about the first names!!). Andy Murray Britain's highest hope for the Wimbledon Championship seeded 2nd he is through to his 4th round match against either Viktor (?) Troicki or Mikhail (?) Youzhny. 

"Wacky Wednesday" completely improved Andy Murray's half of the draw with potential opponents of K.De Schepper or Fernando Verdasco in the quarter finals. 

*Apologies if I can't spell!

Work Experience

First of all sorry for not posting for a while, I have been on work experience in a phyisotherapy practice near where we live which I have really enjoyed! But I will be uploading a painting that I have done of Harris Hawk in Wimbledon which I will explain to a greater depth in my next post!

Wimbledon 2013

Monday brings the start of Wimbledon 2013, and also my work experience where I will be working in a physio near where we live. The Wimbledon draw was announced yesterday, to the dismay of Federer and Nadal they are on a collision course for the quarter finals! Check out this link for more info. However it is good news for the British number 1 Andy Murray who faces Germany's 95th in the world Ben Becker in the first round. Check out the Wimbledon 2013 draw here. I have done a painting of Andy Murray and Roger Federer at the Wimbledon 2012 final, so watch this space for an updated post!

Michele Webber - Sudbury (UK)

First of all I would like to apologise for the lack of posting.. it's what comes with being in year 10 with controlled assessments coursework and everything else! But anyway yesterday me and Dad went along to an art lesson, free courtesy of the Daily Telegraph with Michele Webber (http://www.michelewebber.com/) Apparently her website is undergoing a major upgrade and should be finished fairly soon! So anyway, we went along yesterday to the first of one of her two week specials on landscapes and seascapes. The lesson was extremely informative and a great opportunity to meet new people whilst developing your painting skills! So if you live in Suffolk then I would totally recommend you to contact Michele. Below is an example of one of Michele's paintings..

I will upload the finished painting here once I have completed it! So I hope that you will come back to watch this space!
