I’ve just put this ink drawing on eBay as part of the Colour Collective charity auction for Save the Children. It’s to help the work they do in Syria and other places and to contribute to their Refugee Crisis Campaign.
Colour Collective is a weekly Twitter Challenge created by Penny Neville-Lee in which a single colour is posted every week. Artists respond to that colour in any medium they choose and post their artwork together on Friday evening….when you can watch a stream of beautiful images appear from 19.30 onwards.

I drew this today for the Phthalo Blue week, although I used phthalo turquoise instead because it’s late on Friday night and that’s what I had. It was inspired by that moment when my 5 year old rushes out of school and nearly knocks me to the ground (in fact did knock me over today – but quite gently).
I’ve also put this drawing into the Save the Children auction. They’re both on for 10 days and start at £0.99…….
