Today my GP finally referred me to musculoskeletal after my physio wrote to her to say I need further investigation.I’m riddled with arthritis -a recent foot xray also confirmed it there too - why I have problems walking these days which also makes doing my back exercises hard.😤

That’s me done for the day. It’s slowly getting there with more layers and details. #art #drawing #dogs

Morning all. Aching like mad today but trying to get more done on this one and the choc lab if I can. Shout out to all the lovely people out there - you are appreciated and know who you are! X #art #drawing #dogs

On my FB memories today, 10yrs ago I was commissioned to create a charity Christmas card design for Sherborne Abbey. I was really flattered to have been asked. I still miss doing my graphic design/illustration.

Been working on my Xmas cards again today. Hoping they’ll go to print at some point next week. Did a bit more on the chocolate lab too. #art #drawing #dogs

Even though I blistered the paper with my damp sleeve, I decided to carry on with this one as I’d already put in a lot of hours, so hope it can still be used for cards or prints at some point. #art #drawing #dogs

Didn’t get much drawing achieved today. Had a couple unexpected things to sort out. Just managed a bit on this one. #art #drawing #dogs #colouredpencilart

Morning all. Note to self. Don’t do a bit of washing up in a cold house with a thick fleece on and then sit and try and do some more work on your drawing straight after. My right sleeve was wet and I’ve leant on & blistered my paper! So annoyed with myself! #art #drawing #dogs

Can’t finish my Xmas cards yet as still waiting for the printer to do the scans for me, so I’m working on another dog portrait. This time it’s a chocolate lab. #art #drawing #dogs

Bunny - I did try and do more on this one as well today, but didn’t manage much. I do love bunnies - I miss mine so much. #art #drawing #rabbits

Ok, so amazingly I’ve sold out of calendars already. Is there anyone who wants one that hasn’t ordered yet as I will put in another print order if I know that I’m likely to sell a reasonable amount of them. I don’t want to order them if nobody else buys one between now & Xmas?

Close up of the cat that I still need to finish. Back to it another day now. #art #drawing #cats

Think I’m calling this bulldog finished now. I could tinker indefinitely, but have to get on with other things. #art #drawing #dogs

Been working on my Xmas cards again today. Waiting on the scans to be done of all the dog drawings so I can finish it. #art #drawing #dogs #colouredpencilart

Reduced a few more original drawings on my website today. #art #drawing #wildlife lisawellwoodartist.com

Packed up a couple of orders today. I did my happy dance when I saw them come in. No drawing done tho, just admin. I have no idea how many hrs I work a week running my business - way, way too many for the profit I make. Got the apple bucket drawing in a frame. Such nice colours!

Removed some of my prints from the local gallery this morning as hubby came with me. I can’t carry them due to my back. Now got to find somewhere to put them. #art #drawing #colouredpencilart #wildlife

Must try and finish this one off sometime. Forgot I’d started it. #art #drawing #bluejay #birds

Brought my kids up to be honest, hard working and kind. Feel that I've failed them as a parent. What's the point?! 🤬
