Illustration Friday: Crunchy

-
I feel so much better today about my work thanks to your support when I was feeling low. This blogging community is amazing and touches our lives more profoundly than we realise sometimes. I'm very grateful to be part of it and grateful to each of you for being so lovely :)
Here is my Illustration Friday drawing for this week, crunchy snow, and crunchy carrots (yes, those are carrots) and maybe hmmmm....crunchy lady? I drew this yesterday but today's drawings will be happier ones! :)

Hi Jessie! I know exactly how you feel... starting a blog is probably one of the smartest moves I've ever made as an artist. Helps to keep my chin up sometimes. Anyway, I love your wonderful work! (^_^)

So glad you're feeling better Jessie - and I love 'Crunchy'! The little rabbit is just so sweet! ( But then, I am a bit of a Rabbit fan, aren't I?)

Thanks Amalia, yes it's become so important to me now. I've no idea how I managed beforehand!

Thanks Liz, I've got another rabbit up my sleeve so to speak and will post him soon!

Thanks so much Dave, you've no idea how happy I am to be called 'off beat'!

This is such an interesting image! It makes me wonder what is going on and look closely. I like all the different patterns/textures.

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.
