I'd nearly given up feeding the hogs every night.
Then I opened the door to take the dog out to spend a penny and there were two of these beautiful creatures on my doorstep, loving their feed of kitten biscuits.
Just the best thing to see.

Two barn owls. One looking left. One looking right.
Sat above a sleeping hedgehog with Herb Robert and Stitchwort growing around it.

Hi Jet
I don’t think I can DM you. Also I don’t think I’d be a very good person as I’ve had a lot of run ins with those involved in the badger cull (the ones doing the shooting). And I would be gutted to bring any negativity to this beautiful program.
Sorry.

I've watched some fantastic clips of those badgers.
Absolutely fierce. But you should see the claws on ours too.
Like little bears.

Thank you Donna. Hope you're keeping well x

Also two hedgehogs on my doorstep this evening, tucking into their kitten food.

I love badgers and was so thrilled to see Hamza Yassin's beautiful footage of these wonderful creatures on the BBC.
I hope I dream of them tonight after seeing such wonder.

Awhhhh thank you.
I’ve tried to take on board customer feedback and make them as special as possible to buy and receive x

Thank you :-)

I paint little pebbles and this is how I get them ready for posting.
Painted with love.
Wrapped with love.
Sent with love.

In honour of last night's beautiful moon.

The second picture has words by Maya Angelou.
"If you're always trying to be normal, you will never know how amazing you can be."

If you enjoy seeing my work, I'd love it if you could show your friends who are on here too. Thank you 😊

Something new but not quite finished.
Really happy with the lettering and the sun. Less happy with the hare!
Work to be done.

Thank you. I have them in the wall in my parent's house and they look gorgeous in a frame with a bit of space around them.
And boy did I learn a lot!

A reminder today that things don't always go as you planned in life.
I absolutely couldn't make a go of it doing colour pencil drawings like this. But I did get there in the end.

If you can afford to keep trying, keep trying x

5 colour pencil drawings of flowers from the garden.
1 watercolour of Irises in a neighbours garden.
All by me, Sam :-) Samantha when my parent's are cross with me!

My cat expert (son’s girlfriend) is out at the moment but when she gets home I’ll show her the pictures I used for the colouring and let you know.
I love blacky blue colours.

samcannonart @samcannonart.bsky.social · 28d

I promise I won’t do any more of these!
