Playing While Changing

-







I'm going through changes with my artwork at the moment, I adore watercolours and I'm enjoying adding the pen and ink afterwards and I'm currently playing in my sketchbook without a purpose because it's the only way I can move forwards. Of course this headache doesn't help matters!

I'm sorry about your headach. I hope it goes away quickly today. I always love your art. Each style, even very different, shows your personality. That bird is really nice.

You know, I go through changes in my work all the time! I like to think of it as a process of finding the real 'me'. Some days it can be fun, but some days, not so much. Haha! But hey, those colorful flowers are pretty darn sweet! And by the way, I agree, reading fairy tales is a good way to keep your heart wishful.oxx

More Cottages During Lockdown and a Change in Medium.

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...
