Yes - that's my carpet!

Need something to line your kitty litter tray? perhaps the inside of your medicine cabinet could do with a decoration, or you need some kindling for all those bonfire nights coming up? Rest assured the Various Cushions charity auction has something to meet your needs. All you need to do to win one of these priceless (or in some cases priceless attempts at artwork) pictures is to place a bid in the comment box for the one that you like. Promise to give something to some sort of charidee - you don't even have to say what or when or to whom, and we'll trust you to carry it out. I'll need an email from you then to confirm your delivery address, my email is niamh dot bagnell at gmail dot com... and away we go...
today's sumptuous offerings include:

"Dermot" and "Wicklow"

"Guitar man on Cape Clear"

"Captain Kirk"
"Moby"

And yes, that is my carpet in the back ground, not for sale - though it does set some of them off beautifully.

You can take more than one pic - but limit yourself to one from each day's posting - think I've another 3 days worth to put up after these.
Happy shopping!

Is it me or has Wicklow got a lady waiting for gynaecological exam in the foreground?

haha, Rachel - I noticed that myself only recently, funnily I drew that one on a first and last date years ago with a young man who drove me up the mountains, and maybe didn't expect me to spend ALL the time on the drawing, I hope he didn't see what we see now! Now that I think of it - perhaps he drove me to that spot on purpose...

Christ, I'm glad it wasn't just me seeing that...

Dominic Rivron said...

Is that Moby - or Jean Luc Picard? :)

Niamh B said...

if I said it was jean luc would that make me a better artist?

Dominic Rivron said...

No. I have to admit it looks more like Moby! It's just that being a Next Generation fan the first thing I think of when I see a bald man is Jean Luc.

Niamh B said...

having it come just after capn kirk probably didn't help!

Henry Gay said...

The sketches are finely made and very appreciable, especially the portraits of Captain Kirk and Moby. As for the Guitar Man, I thought it was Guy Fawkes strumming the guitar, hahaha. Good thing you placed them on your carpet so that they would look more noticeable.

Tk you Henry :-)

Lyda Tavorn said...

I’m so jealous of you and my sister. I've been wanting to sketch something, anything! But whenever I try, I end up throwing it in the trash can. Haha! Your carpet served as a beautiful background for your sketches. Lovely work!

Niamh B said...

What a nice thing to say Lyda!

And my second carpet cleaner to visit...

I must mention carpets in my blog more often, it's obviously a popular subject
