Black and White and the Prospect of Snow

-
We seem to be the only place in the UK that doesn't have snow this morning. It's very cold though so I'm sure it'll catch us in the end! This picture is a doodle in my sketchbook, I love colour but sometimes it's satisfying to enjoy the patterns of black and white.

Jess, I love your doodles! This one is particularly wonderful...something about the simplicity of black and white, isn't it?

I do hope you get snow...there is something magical about it, don't you think? During the time we lived in England there was only one fine dusting of snow...we have not had much here this year...I think it is the UK's time!

Have a Beautiful Day and May the Snow Grace Your World!

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...
