A Churchy Doodle?

-
It takes me ages some mornings to get going with drawing and this morning is one of those! I want to draw animals of some kind, with the Illustration Friday topic in mind. I'll look in the children's book of baby animals for inspiration and see what happens. See you here later!

Jess, I love this doodle. I think it probably warrants some of your fabulous colors. In the doodle form (without color) it appears as though you were a bit worried about what your daughter was sharing with you. :) Now I can sure understand why they would want to be married at one of those incredible Cathedrals of England. I am not all that religious but adored visiting those buildings (spent a lot of time in Winchester).

Mmm, now I look forward to seeing what you come up with later. Now if the muse leads you elsewhere, go with it!

Have a Wonderful Afternoon, Jess!

Thanks Kim, it has a smiley face but maybe you've picked up on something deeper? I'm trying to follow my muse...thing is I keep remembering what I need to get at the shops. I really must go out soon and you can bet it'll be right when the muse is staring me in the face!

That's interesting, I don't know what a zentangle is, I'll ask my friend Google.

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...
