This looks like a soft and peaceful place to be adrift as spring approaches. I agree, this was a fun word to illustrate. Thanks for stopping by my blog, too!

Wow! So nice illustration, and so full of sadness and strange mood it seems to me; I talk about the girl, not the painting. The painting is wonderful but it gives me like a feeling of sadness. Adrift, you're right... Not knowing where to go, whom to go with and why...

Adrift is such an evocative theme...it could be negative or positive depending on how you're feeling. Adrift, not needing to go anywhere or be anywhere, just enjoying the moment, floating free...or adrift, out of control, lost direction, not belonging anywhere. I think your lady is the former though, she looks like she's enjoying her peaceful moment!

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...
