On a roll

Yesterday I started working on sketch 18 from the Big Picture Classes prompt.  It appealed to me because it's a bit different.  I'm quite liking working with more than one photo, but with the photos in smaller sizes.  It would appear that I am also in a bit of a red phase which is a bit weird as it's not my favourite colour!  

It's going to be a funny old week for the canine member of the family.  There's good news - the dog groomer is coming today.  She absolutely loves the 'Mucky Pups' lady.  It's a mobile grooming salon and this scruffy little dog who squirms and whinges and refuses to let us anywhere near her with a comb or brush, becomes a calm, brush happy puppy who just stands on the table without a murmer and doesn't even need to have a lead on to keep her up there. She emerges two hours later as a sweet smelling, soft ball of fluff that wouldn't look out of place in a Crufts line up.  But then there is bad news - on Friday she is going to the vets to have 'the operation'.  Every time we look at her we think 'if only you knew ...' and I suspect that having a plastic cone around her head is not going to go down very well.  However, the photo opportunities will be too much to resist ...
