Transported Away to Gaelic Scotland

-



We rented a lovely film last night called SEACHD: The Inaccessible Pinnacle. I remembered reading about it on Rima's blog a few months ago. Thankyou Rima!x
It's in gaelic with english subtitles which can be a bit daunting at first but before I knew it, I was instantly drawn into the land of storytelling. I'd highly recommend it!

Yesterday I finished the Wedding Invitation. Thankfully they've seen it and liked it, so I'm very pleased!

Oh I am going to have to try to find this film. It sounds so lovely and I love those Scottish scenes, too.

The invitation is excellent! I love the colors and the design. The best part is your daughter and future son-in-law love it!

Congratulations Jess and Thank You!

ooh, Thank you for the reminder, i have meant to get watching this too! So we are both doing weddings, i would think it must be harder even, to do a design for your very own daughter, you would want it to be oh so perfect. . .and it is. Just beautiful, i see you managed the colout problem perfectly

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...
