It's a Green Day

-
After I'd finished a sketchbook page of jumping frogs, I was eating my pea and ham soup, and it occured to me.....how green my day has been so far.
It's been very sunny and springlike this morning so I spent a while cutting and cutting and cutting in the garden until my arms wouldn't let me cut any more.


Yes, there's still a lot to do!
Have a lovely weekend :)

Hi Jessie! Love the froggies, in fact, love them so much I'd like a frog-design shirt or duvet cover! This would be ace made in to fabric or wallpaper Jessie, send it to some manufacturers of material. Wow your garden looks good - I thought it was cold (wimpy excuse) so I didn't go out there, but I feel bad now for being so lardacious and lazy!!

Thanks karen, yes I hope this weather stays, I've got so much to do out there!
Thanks Liz, I love your word...'lardacious' - that's usually me!
Thanks Joss, the boots used to belong to my son but he's long outgrown them now and even if they DID fit him, he'd rather go barefoot than wear wellies these days I'm sure ;)

Hehe...green is such a lovely colour! And it makes me think of spring & the new sedlings which are shooting up in my homemade greenhouses on my windowsill :)

Yes, those frogs would make a great fabric or on your wellies. Spring here today too. the nasturciums are beginning to flower. Blue, blue shy.

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...
