Christmas Princess

-
There I've said it!
The word I wanted to save for December but it's out there now, so here is my CRISTMASSY painting!
I think I've still got the 'Unbalanced' theme in my mind from Illustration Friday. I know I've already done the frog one below, but I think I'll try to see if I can submit this one too. Can you submit two? We'll see....
I might even decide to use it for my blog profile picture. I'm not a princess but I think it might be me.

Thanks Nicola, it's nice to work on good paper for a change!
Hi Rosie, I hope the frogs have returned! I'm not sure if I'd like an accordian sketchbook, I rather like the bookish character myself. :)
Thanks Lizzie! I'll be a story-type one then who gets the prince!
Hi Diana, thanks so much! :)

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...
