Happy Christmas. Lots to do today, so another short entry. I was fortunate enough to meet Omie for the first time a couple of days ago, and as with nearly all the artists I meet, he is a nice person, who made time for a chat. I was pleased that he knew about Natural Adventures and appeared to appreciate my write ups of his work. It was a genuine pleasure to meet him, because I really like his original take on each and every piece he paints.

This is a wonderful piece of writing from Omie, in celebration of Pekoe’s birthday – what a fine tribute. The colours are compelling and the blended fills work nicely particularly with the addition of spots, although the orange paint is a little thin… thin paints can be a pain in the butt. Some black highlights add interest to the letters which are beautifully presented. The Darraigh referred to in the bottom right hand corner is the recent storm that swept across England in Early December.
