Secrets and pies

Hey folks, 

Sorry for having been quiet on here... I am literally painting, painting, painting! Smoke-coming-off-my-brushes painting. The latest commission comprises ten pieces and I am now just over half way through. They are still secret though - I'm afraid I can't show them to you just yet. Ohhhh okayyy... here's a sneaky peek...

I'm also galloping on with the book - got about 8,000 words left to go with this re-write. Soooo, all of this means that I haven't got time to write much today - instead, I will share for the dance fans among us, a video of dancer Sergio Polunin - dubbed by the media as "ballet's bad boy". It's amazing what a few tatts can do for the cause of taking ballet to a wider audience - this video has now gone viral - well done Sergio! I love the way his leaps seem to hang suspended in the air. 

So, the secrets are the paintings...

... and I don't really have any pies. A friend of mine did bring me back a box of these from Zurich though - 

- but macaroons doesn't rhyme with lies. 

Till next time, mes petits amis...
