Daydreaming

~~Moving slowly through the day, searching for inspiration, I think it's almost arrived. Colour and pattern and Bob's my uncle, except he isn't, only metaphorically.~~

Ah, Jess, this is a lovely painting. She is beautiful and contemplative. I kind of feel this way as well today. It is that kind of day to be sure.

Thanks Jess

Là tu t'es éclatée ! Superbe composition... puis les couleurs sont tout simplement merveilleuses ! Mais tu es une sacrée artiste ! Comme on dit chez moi, "Tu assures un max Jess !"

There, you were burst ! Superb composition then colours are simply marvellous ! But you are a sacred artist ! ! ! As they say to me in my country, " You assure max Jess! "

Sorry for my translation, but my translator said that he's very badly paid !

ByeBye Jessie and see you later !

I still think with your sense of colour you would design great children's clothes as well as your illustrations.

Thanks for such lovely comments! :)) Even though I went for a long time never using green, I really enjoyed using this colour combination, it must be the attraction of opposites on the colour wheel or something like that!

Dreamlike Painting

-
Image
I like to make pictures that aren't a conventional landscape, so that the ground and the sky are interchangeable, dreamlike, floating. These paintings are done using my Tombow dual brush pens, the watercolour effect is made by adding water to the pen marks with an ordinary brush. This next one below is painted in watercolours and the black is done in waterproof drawing pens. Next is a picture made with my coloured pencils that I've had for ever. They might be ancient but they still do the job!  Oh. And my black pentel brush pen and a gold gel pen. I love a bit of gold. And finally here's a cute little cucumber that Middle Daughter grew in her garden. It looks like a lemon doesn't it? It's about the same size as a satsuma and I think they're called lemon cucumbers but let me assure you they taste like a very tasty cucumber. Have a great week!xx

All Change

That's what they used to call out on the bus after it had broken down, "All change!" and then my heart would sink as I realised I'd have to wake up from my daydream and comfortable position, to shuffle along the aisle of the bus with all the other people then stand in yet another cold queue for the next one, knowing there'd be a fuss with the new driver over whether my ticket was valid ot not. "Where is my ticket??!!" There's been a lot of change in my house this week. Now my son's left for Uni, his younger sister has her beady eye on his old bedroom! There's been sanding and sweeping and scraping and cleaning. And lots and lots of painting as it begins its journey to a new personality. I shall keep you posted with the results!
