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?

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!
