I spent most of the weekend working away on that larger piece that I mentioned in an earlier post and I found myself so fed up with it that I needed to paint something a little looser for a while. This painting is the result. It's sketchier and looser than what I normally do and was a refreshing change from the detail of the big canvas. Plus, I've always wanted to paint chocolate mice. I think they may appear in a few more paintings in the future.

I snapped a few photos of the bookstore today as I did my morning stroll with Finnegan. It dawned on me that I've never shown my husband hard at work in his bookish domain. It's an 'old school' bookshop without an espresso machine or a soap and bubble bath display and that's just how it will stay. Personally, I don't think that the odd comfy chair would be a bad thing, but he's a book snob, and books should be read and not used as napkins for low-fat soy cappuccinos and cookie crumbs- which is something that I've been scolded about on a number of occasions.
I was doing my best to ham it up to the camera but I don't think that came across...he just looks kind of weary but he claims that's just his natural expression.

One of the paintings that I get quite a few emails about is 'Lovebird Patisserie', so I've created a piece with a fairly similar vibe- I think. Perhaps it's Lovebird Patisserie Part Two.
