Good afternoon from here in a sunny but quite cold Mallorca.

Just before its publication I recorded a video of the creation of one of the pages in Volume 2 of Colour Me Happy by J.M.Neville from the pencil creation to going over it in ink. It was possibly the comment ‘oh do you use a compass to create the circles and curves?’ that inspired me to get myself together and publish the video as I have always used just a pencil and rubber to create the images and then a black pen to ‘bring it to life’ making it possible to scan and use for my abstract colouring books. As you will see no compasses or any other ‘instruments’ are used to create any other circles, arcs or any other shapes, just me and my pencil.

I have uploaded it onto YouTube but thought it would be nice to have it up here on my website rather than just a link.

I am working hard on Volume 3 so it will not be such a long wait in between books. I am also working on recording one of these creations to put up online too once it has been published.

There have been a few other, not so inspiring, things happening here, in fact some very sad moments. However, I am not really feeling up to going into that at the moment. I will do so in my next blog. Until then take care, keep safe and in the mean time.

I wish you all a joyful and happy Christmas and a prosperous New Year.
