Mini daffodils, they have a name!

I'm creating a drawing a day for a year, just for the art of it.

Today's is a drawing of those mini daffodils! I'm sure someone will supply the name.

Nile Felucca

I'm creating a drawing a day for the art of it.

Nile felucca

These graceful little boats with their asymmetrical sails litter the Nile's banks, competing for space with house boats and hotel balconies.

I took one from Luxor to Banana island, it seemed like easy sailing over very smooth water but the men who sail these boats must know the strange currents in such a big, shifting river.

They make you tea on board, with a tiny gas stove, in a shot glass and medicinally sweet!

Out on the more than a mile wide river it's cool, the only cool outdoor place I experienced in Egypt. When you get to Banana island it's hot again. But as the island is thickly forested with banana trees, it's a shadowy hot unknown on the banks of the Nile, which are cultivated or bare but not thick with trees usually.

You get tiny bananas to eat, a hand span long and sweet, really sweet!

Egypt is a treasure, I loved it, and despite any Egyptology you may have studied, I challenge you to stand under the columns of the template at Karnak and not believe aliens helped build it!

Seaturtle

Today's is a seaturtle.

I like these guys. They get killed by plastic bags getting washed down waterways to the sea. Then sea currents collect them on beaches and in "islands" of rubbish. We now have a collection of litter in the pacific about the size of Texas! Last year my new years resolution was to use less bags, this year we have a bag tax in the UK helping me remember but it still takes some doing.

Seal

The human form silkies were always very beautiful but it was bad news to fall in love with one as they must return to the sea.

Porcupine.

When I was in Italy my friend and I sat out in an olive orchard most of the night, with a saucer of milk, hoping to spot one of these, we collected many quills and had the best hedgehog sighting of my life, but sadly we did not see one of these.

Dragon fish story!

I'm creating a drawing a day for a year, just for the art of it!

Today's drawing is a story.

It was my mum's 70th birthday party and she asked guests to do a party peace. I created this story by asking the guests to shout out suggestions and drawing them as fast as I could.

Once upon a time there was a bird (and a magic lamp) who dreamed of becoming a dragon. The bad news is a dragon ate him. The good news is he still had the lamp, he rubbed it and a genie came out and made him into a swordfish. He cut his way free. In the end the genie made him into a flying-swordfish, which is even better than being a dragon! The End
