Nature, The Ultimate Inspiration

-
After my dose of nature at the weekend, I've been inspired to paint some little flowers designs.




I love colour and pattern so this was fun to do. The top sketch is an idea for a new header. I'm not sure if it should be a child or a woman and I think this is evident in my drawing! :D

This is a painting of mine on canvas called 'Headland' and it's going to be included in a summer exhibition of my paintings in the Cristus Gallery in Folkestone, along with other artists. You can also see at the gallery the work of a lovely artist and fellow blogger Julie-Ann who paints beautiful angels!

Hi Jessie! How lovely to make your acquaintance... I had a quick look on Etsy because I especially like your Goya type colourful paintings but they'd gone :-( I love the idea of Drop in and Draw, I shall look out for that when I settle. Your message was a treat, thank you. x

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.
