A Fresh New Beginning

-

I have made good use of being snowed in this morning and spent the time listing 2 new paintings for sale on Etsy!
These were both originally inspired by Illustration Friday so they might look a bit familiar if you've visited me before! Click on the titles to take you to their details.
I'm hoping to start putting more items in my Etsy shop soon, now the new year is underway!

Both pics are very different, such different stories. Both are Wonderful! I Love everything about them.
ThankYou so much for Your visit and comment. I haven't added anything to my blog yet. Am setting it up again slowly, maybe it will gain more momentum the closer we get to Spring :o) But I will be visiting my bloggy friends more frequently, which makes me very happy, especially when I get to see Fabulous artwork like this. Hope You have a good week, with not too many weather probs. xxx

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.

This is my final medium and then finding myself being drawn to changing once again to a different way of wor...
