So I was feeling quite crafty, and during Jack's afternoon nap, I decided to attempt to paint my own background. Thanks to my clumsy doggy, who put her paw through my grey paper back drop, I had a large cut-off piece of paper that would otherwise have gone to waste.
I have been totally inspired by E4's new show, 'Noel Fielding's Luxury Comedy'. After a shaky start, it has gotten really good, and is definitely my favourite thing on TV at the moment. The backgrounds on the show are hand painted, and they are amazing! I have heavily based my backdrop on theirs, if not almost copied! I'm pretty sure that this is only being aired in the UK right now, my American counterparts, but you never know, keep an eye out for it!
I know I'm not going to win any awards for the most realistic scene, but I have never been in the running anyway! As for Jack, no smiles today, but the wee tyke is teething again, and his form is not the best. The poor wee man.
Wow, what a great backdrop! Love this idea!
ReplyDeleteso cute! Jack is so adorable, I would not be able to stop taking picture of him!
ReplyDeleteCathy, I always enjoy your photos of the wee fella, and these more thoughtful pics are some of your best, sorry to come over all poncey but you have a natural way with colours and that backdrop totally rocks ! love to you and the big man x Pav
ReplyDeleteAndrew! So lovely to hear from you! Thanks so much. A compliment like that means such a lot coming from a talent like yourself. We hope to take a trip to London to see you soon. x
DeleteLook forward to that x
DeleteHe is sooo cute.
ReplyDeleteFantastic! And not every photo needs a smile... I still adore his expression.
ReplyDeleteThis is one of the COOLEST things I have ever seen. I live in California and am scouring the internet to see if there's any way to see the show you are referring to.
ReplyDeleteI "pinned" your picture on my pinterest board. It is just amazing. My teenage daughter is going to use this idea for some pictures or videos. Thanks so much for sharing this!
Your little boy is adorable as well! I'll be back...

Poor little man! Teething is not the faniest part of growing up or parenting. The background idea is brilliant and you did an amazing job!
