I've Joined the Deviants

Jared's Artwork for School exam (see above)

I've just joined the DeviantART site. I'd come across it several times before and the other day my son announced he had some artwork on it I thought I'd better get on with it and join! The picture shown here I did some weeks ago for the Illustration friday prompt of 'climb'. I'd no idea where the image came from at the time but looking at it now I think it's probably me!

But where are you in Deviant Art? I'm "Parleyhill". They seemed to have wiped out my last gallery.

Hi Joss, No I'm not really a 'deviant'!

So THAT'S what it is! Thanks Gretel, I must have had it stored in my (absent) memory banks!

I've just added you as a favourite Rosie on deviant. If you click on the link in this post it'll take you straight to my page.

I love this illustration, a colored little tapirlady and her offspring, and the little ones look a bit stressed:) Just lovely,

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...

Dreamlike Painting

-

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
