Fairy queen, purple fish and a butterfly elf chap with mice for shoes.

For some different ideas, I've been looking at old Scottish Fairy tales as many have great old illustrations. Decided to have a crack at a children's picture for the fun of it and this one is a work in progress .. but may have got a bit carried away with the colours. As for the content, there is not only a palm tree, but rogue dancing mice, purple fish and spooky bubbles. Not a notion at all as to where these came from in my head, and not smackering  of tartan in there too, so who knows ...

Fresh fish and chatting lads at Aker Brygge quay, Oslo

The wee fishing boats had a good night with their haul and had a large cargo onboard this morning. They were doing a roaring trade with the local restuarant owners and these two lads were having a right chuckle and full of fun in the sunshine in between serving their customers.
