Going With The Flow

-
Craving the wetness of watercolour again, I made these drippy puddley trees, then decided they needed something sitting on the branches. Owls had the first turn,
then came the cats.
These are mainly watercolour with tiny hints of a dark brown ink line here and there. I'm not sure where I'm going with these, but sometimes you just need to follow your nose. As they say.

These are wonderful Jess...so whimsical and down right fun. Sometimes the old muse just pulls at your sleeve and insists you listen. My experience is these things often lead to something fun. I think you are there...

Thanks So Much Jess!

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...
