This is a piece of work done by Ruth, just messing about with our new toy - a graphics tablet (a pressure sensitive A4 sized pad with a wireless pen for drawing and painting). She did it using "a palette knife and acrylics". As a first attempt to use both the software and hardware I think it is impressive and intend to get it printed professionally. Of course I had to stop Ruth deleting it!!!

We are pleased that some of her artwork is up on the walls in france - her series of pictures of the cockroach we inadvertantly brought back from Uganda will not be to everyone`s taste ( I killed it as it nearly ate through my favourite pair of shorts!).
