Illustration Friday: 'Impossibility'

-

It's been a funny old few days for my family what with my son being on Britain's Got Talent. Now he's going to be interviewed on ITV West later on today, so the excitement goes on! (6pm for those who live in the westcountry!)
I got distracted there again for a minute! Now where was I? Oh yes, IllustrationFriday...
Well it's an impossibility for Penguins to fly!

I wish I could see your son on tv tonight but we just get Southampton news for some reason.

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'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!
