Big Love

-
A massive thankyou to all you lovely people who helped me make a decision about whether to change my header. I think you can see the final verdict! :) You've all been amazing and I'm very grateful. :)

The very talented Cathy Nichols is hosting an event on her blog called FOUND ART FRIDAY and I thought I'd join in! The theme this month is 'Big Love' and the idea is to experiment and have fun without much constraint. I'm quite a messy painter and get covered in whatever I happen to be using, so it's been a long while since I've been brave enough to use my black ink. The trees had to evolve according to which way my brush (accidently) made a mark so there might be more branches than I anticipated!

Oh, Jess. This is SO beautiful. Truly, truly lovely. I adore that the trees form a heart in negative space by embracing each other. I'm so excited to share it for tomorrow's post. xox

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...
