It's not strictly archery related but I'm so incredibly proud of her, I have to post about it.
A little under a year ago, my wife Freda took up painting (unfortunately not interior/exterior walls etc

)
Here's a small few of her work.
Painted a good many months back and one of my favourites... She gave this one to my sister's boyfriend for Christmas as he loved it so much.

My friend and bowyer-mentor Jim took this picture on a trip to Colorado (I think) a couple of years ago...

...Freda painted it for him, by my request. I'll give it to him tomorrow night when I bring the Osage stave up to begin work on.

Jim also asked if she'd be interested in painting a picture for a raffle at the club shoot this July. This is the result...

All these pic's were taken on my phone and REALLY do not do them an ounce of true justice. The stag looks a little pale and lacking in my pic but in person, the texture of it's coat is visible through the brush strokes.
I love her skies... I think Turner has some serious competition
