Pictish Creatures and New Work

It all started with just the one small painting, that is all I thought, what harm can one Pictish Cat do?  Before I knew it, I was doing another Pictish creature, a dragon this time.  It is OK, I told myself, one more won't hurt, I can give up any time I want!

Then there was the Pictish stag, everyone loves the Pictish stag and now I had to admit it, I seem to have some kind of addiction.  With slightly unsteady hands, I reach for more paint and yet another Pictish creature has, unbidden, formed under my brush, a goose and then a wolf and now the curious Pictish "beast".  Why can't I stop?  What is wrong with me?

So, here is something completely different, some strange woman on top of a hill, facing another hill, wonder who that is and where she is - and isn't she cold?
