A Time of Change

-
Yesterday I finished these paintings as well as the one in the last post that was for Illustration Friday.
You might have noticed I used this one for my new profile picture. It reflected how I was feeling, I'm going through some changes in my personal life at the moment and it's not easy to accept change is it?
Looking at it fresh today, I might add some more to it, I think the background needs livening up a bit.

This one is a little sketch I did in my moleskine. The moleskine is still a new kind of sketchbook for me but I'm growing to love it!

Hi Jessie,
Great paintings... The bird playing the guitar made me smile, with his mellow expression and his legs crossed!;)
I like your new profile image very much... I would like a spotted hat with cats ears!
There is something very gentle and calm about this painting.
It is beautiful.x

Jessie, I really like your TREES! They are so pretty; realistic (very 'tree'!) and decorative at the same time.

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...
