I Can See Elvis

I can see Elvis - true story - I saw Elvis walking down the street in Banff one day.  He was wearing his leathers and a green scarf and the sun was shining. I can't promise that Elvis will be in attendance, but I can tell you that: from Thursday 21st May to Thursday 28th May incl. - my exhibition of daily paintings from - February of 2015 will be on show at Spindrift Studio, Banff, Scotland.  These paintings will also be on sale for £30 each.

Spindrift Studio is a second-hand book shop, writers' venue which also serves fabulous coffee and cake.  It looks out on Banff Harbour.  There is a small prize to the first person to say 'Tyger, Tyger, Burning Bright' to Jay the owner, after ordering coffee and cake of course! 

Running wth the pack - Flashdogs 2nd Anthology - I am delighted to have been writing 4 short stories for the 2nd Flashdog's Anthology.  Contributing writers were all given 4 photo prompts to write for, and I am pleased to say I have made the deadline with all 4.  The Anthology will be published on the 21st June 2015, more about this nearer the time.  The Flashdogs are an international group of writers who write short fiction, you can read more about them here.

Hat Status: Corderoy cap is not suited to this torrential rain - so'uwester may have to be sourced if it continues.

Painting Status:  After a mug, containing a live triffid mould culture was found at the back of my work bench, efforts have been made to 'tidy up', leading to calls for a 'real studio'.  

Energy Status:  Fair to falling over.

Writing Status:  Flashdog adventures, see above.

Reading Status:  Lots of online flash stories, grant forms, longing for time to reduce my fiction reading deficit.

Etsy Status:  My adventures in Etsy-land continue.  I have a small proportion of my 'portfolio' listed in my Ety shop, the rest of it is, as always, available directly from me - my online gallery is viewable from here.
