Greetings fair folk!

I don't know about you, but my wee nose is atingle with the crackling of autumn magic in the air!! - my favourite season by far, is come upon us again! ....and I thought I'd share this little gypsy pixie sketch with you, as there seems to be something very autumnal about her, I imagine her with a tiny wagon, parked under a bramble hedge somewhere, gathering enormous berries! - I've started a colour piece, showing her in company with her trusty mouse-hound,...of which, more soon....

On saturday, my friend Sharon and I begin our annual autumnal visits to the wonderful Pollok Park. A fabulous country park on the south side of Glasgow ( now sadly under threat from awful developers!)  - I'll be skipping through the woods, thinking of the elemental creatures, ....just out of sight! - and of my enchanted friends!

love Julia xxx
