I finished another pair of transformation paintings this week - two rooks.
These are actually portraits of myself and my sister ( I'm the one on the right, for those of you who don't know me - and those who do, but still don't recognise me with a bird's head stuck on top of mine!)
And a busy day in the allotment! I picked elderflowers for elderflower champagne, and thinned the beetroot. We had the beetroot for supper, both roots and leaves - they were so sweet and delicious! The fruit will go in the freezer for a few days until I have got enough to start making batches of jam. The blackcurrant bushes are laden, branches almost snapping under the weight of fruit, but something is scrumping our strawberries, despite them being carefully netted.

Theses are lovely Danielle, and all that fresh fruit delicious. I know what you mean about ponies grabbing things to eat you don't want them to, I swear they do it to make you feel guilty, Woozle wants to snack on acorns,in Autumn which is difficult to stop as there are oak trees in both my fields.
I LOVE the two Rooks! What neat pictures of you and your sister.
Beautiful pictures, Danielle. I would think your sister would be thrilled with her portrait. They are just like Charles de Lint's Crow girls grown up :)

Thankyou everyone!
I just love the characters of the crow girls in Charles de Lint's work - I'm glad they make you think of them!
I haven't shown my sister the picture yet - not sure she'll be flattered!
wonderful that you did too portraits and that they are your sister and yourself, seems very special to me.
Your bounty is glorious and beautiful to see.
