Happy Easter 2021! Fuzzy Pudgies, Beechworth and general stuff.

 

HAPPY EASTER!!!!  Hope you all ha d a lovely break, whether you celebrate it or not.  These are my Easter cats for Fuzzy Pudgies!  I think they look pretty cute!

Here are some of the sketches I did prior to painting.  I worked on them during breakfast and before going into my current studio.  I've been working on a commercial for the last week, but I arrived really early.  I have a key now, so I can go into the studio and work but beforehand, i sat in a cafe and worked on Fuzzy Pudgies.

This was at Bakemono Bakery.  Their baked goods are delicious, especially the Yuzu croissant.  The one in the picture is a garlic bread that is one of their best sellers.  It was all right.....I think the combination of sweet and garlic was a bit too odd for my tastes.  I look forward to trying their "shokupan" though.  That said, no days off to the city for me for all of April, not until my current studio job is finished so I won't be able to go back to this particular bakery for a while yet.

Rob and I also went to Beechworth yesterday.  Such a cute little town and I am thinking that it would be really lovely to stay over here for the whole weekend.  I am still reticent to book since Covid can ruin plans at a drop of a hat, so we'll see.  I was thinking for my birthday.  I would like to explore this town more.  We went and had pizzas at the Bridge Road Brewery and I tried a beer called "This Beer Tastes Like Ice Cream" and it's the best beer I've ever had. It went down really smoothly. 

Rob had a beer called "The Magical Easter unicorn".  Wasn't bad but is more of a winter beer, I think.   We also visited Lake Sambell afterwards. Lovely place.

 Aside from going to Beechworth, we spent most of Easter at home.  I had freelance work to catch up on and I just managed to submit stuff for review before writing this post.  Woo hoo!  I have to package some cats for delivery tomorrow and then I can spend the night relaxing.  More or less.
