WOYWW 844 Painting the wind and chicken-crochet

Hi all, another week has zoomed past. I’ve started work on a watercolour from my holiday photos. Mont Ventoux on a windy day. 

I’ve still to finish the mountain but it’s getting there. We had a day or two of the Mistral wind blowing really strongly and I wanted to illustrate that. 
There really are olive trees there that have grown in spirals from the strength of the wind. I guess with the windy day and Mont Ventoux above, it’s more the tough farmer’s life of Pagnol’s Jean de Florette than holiday Provence. 
I might do a sketch of Serge Gainsbourg soon, too, as I’ve a friend in France who likes him, hence the photo on my desk. 
I’m also still working on more Emotional support critters with Bella’s help. She sends you all purrs. 
My art club had a lunch last week where we discussed having an exhibition. They’ve secured space at a local deli in October.  We can’t display paintings we did in class but I’ll work on some new ones. They saw my holiday snaps and said I should include some of my crochet chickens. 😻🐓
And finally…



I’m off to visit your blogs courtesy of Sarah’s Craft shed, I’d love to see you comment, but please add your name as I’m uncomfortable with anonymous comments. 
Happy WOYWW
