Hi, my first but not last visit to your blog! Lovely work! I saw your comment over at Buskitten's about having kitty envy...here in the States, it's completely normal for kitties to be indoors-only. That would take care of the living-near-a-busy-road problem. Would that be a possible way of getting a kitty into your life? I know i couldn't live without my four!

Lovely 'Talisman'
I'm impressed you managed to paint with school holidays on. I was bursting with ideas for this topic, but not a hope of sitting down for 5 minutes!

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.
