Illustration Friday: 'Flying'

-
I like drawing pictures of flying and have done a couple recently which I could have submitted to Illustration Friday but what I really like about IF, is the challenge of starting something new each week!

Jessie, I love the badges, the aceo card and especially the postcard prints of your wonderful textured patterned looking ladies. They are so much more precious and beautiful to see for real. I will be looking for a photo frame to put these in.
Thank you so much for your wonderful gifts. Truly lovely to be given such wonderful art creations.
You are truly gifted even more than I could imagine.

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...
