Illustration Friday: 'Voices'

-

We went to the Christmas pantomime last night and Buttons was singing the 'well-known' song that Rolf Harris used to sing. 'Tie Me Kangaroo Down'. My 11 year old daughter thought he was singing 'Dye my kangaroo brown' and realise the difference when they put the words up next to the stage! CLICK HERE if you'd like the misfortune of hearing the original.

Of course my own kangaroo pictured here is purple and not brown because purple looks better don't it?

This is my submission for Illustration Friday, which this week is 'Voices'.

More Cottages During Lockdown and a Change in Medium.

I've been thinking about why I'm drawing cottages lately.  Maybe it's because there aren't many people around where we live and on our daily walks we rarely come across anyone else which I suppose is a good thing as we're still in Lockdown and have to practice Social Distancing which has now become a very well used phrase in our language! Maybe it's this lack of seeing people around that my mind is turning towards houses and flowers? The ones above are done in ink. I love the pearlescent inks, they're so beautiful when they catch the light. The paintings above and below are painted in acrylic. I've been obsessed with watercolour for a few weeks but I felt I'd like to get some acrylics out again. I've always been like this, going through phases of being obsessed with a particular medium thinking yes this is it! This is my final medium and then finding myself being drawn to changing once again to a different way of wor...
