Sunny and Scared

-
I doodled these pages while sat in the hot sun.
The ones below were done indoors. The whole atmosphere of them is different to the pages above isn't it? It might not be the light, it could possibly be because I'm thinking of this week's word 'shaky'!

I'm not scared of bats but I am scared of owls with very long legs, ...and I'm scared of spilling salt!

Hot here too, Jess. But it's expected. I had a few bats swoop[ me a few evenings ago about dusk. It excited me! I loved them investigating what I was.
Your blue and pink work is lovely and that weather stick...I WANT ONE!

I love your doodles!!! Especially the ones you did outside! I'm scared of slugs can you believe it? Must be years of growing up in wet windy Wales where they would always lurk outside my front door waiting for me to step on them, YUCK!!!

Hi Jess, I love the doodles you did outside. The drawings on the right hand page would look amazing as a pattern for something... maybe printed onto a tote/shopper bag?

Summer Breeze

What's happened to the weather? It's raining and windy and my gas was switched of all day yesterday so it was cold too! This little sketch popped into my sketchbook from my windy head. I finished this painting on canvas above a few days ago, it's called 'Safe Harbour' and soon after finished the other painting (with the bird flying a kite) too. I didn't have a name for it until the end and I decided upon 'Summer Breeze'. That was a day when the sun was still shining but the wind was beginning to stir. Summer Breeze sounds quite soothing doesn't it and I quite like the song of the same name. :) That guitar intro takes me back to being 13 before teenage angst really set in! Windy and rainy it might be but my latest painting is filled with a peaceful setting of pattern and colour. I like textures and the effects of different painting techniques and I'm trying to balance randomness with pattern. Not an easy ta...

A Day Out

Brixham Harbour It's been a while since my last post hasn't it? It's been a very busy Easter holiday for me, lots of things to sort out and jobs to do. Today's my first day at home but there's so much catching up to do after being away I don't know where to start! So I decided to start right here and to make this blogpost :) I did manage to have some relaxing time too and one of the places we went to was  Avebury Manor.  I've been to Avebury stone circles more times than I can count but have never visited the 500 year old Manor House. Each room has been restored to a different time period to represent the different generations of people who lived there over the years. I love the handpainted wallpaper in one of the rooms, so detailed. It was difficult to choose which part to photograph there was so much amazing pattern.   It's based on   an early English chinoiserie wallpaper from around 1700. The artist Mark Sands working on t...
