Wasp Rider

-
Here's my illustration for an article in Britchop magazine about different sorts of bikes and how some of them sound like...want to guess?
Meanwhile I'm waiting for the paint to dry on my IF for this week. It's half term so not a lot of time to do it. Once the paint is dry I can finish it off with my trusty black ink.!

Love it Jessie! Being married to a bike-freak, I know EXACTLY the sort of bikes you mean, usually high speed Japanese sport bikes...he's had a couple of those. Now ducatis and moto guzzis sound different, kind of deeper and gutsier...he's had one each of those. Then the trail bikes sound different again, loud and thumpier (that's a technical term, of course!)...he's had several of those. I won't get into Harleys, they're just deafening and sound like something vital is about to fall off...he hasn't had one of those because he thinks they're rubbish for what you pay for them. Oh dear, I know far too much about something I'm not in the slightest bit interested in LOL! Have a lovely day! :)

Really, you are so clever! I just love this one. I always thought it would be fun to ride on a motorcycle, but my husband would never get one. And there are no cool bikers out there who would want to take an this old lady for a ride, I am sure!

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...

Dreamlike Painting

-
Image
I like to make pictures that aren't a conventional landscape, so that the ground and the sky are interchangeable, dreamlike, floating. These paintings are done using my Tombow dual brush pens, the watercolour effect is made by adding water to the pen marks with an ordinary brush. This next one below is painted in watercolours and the black is done in waterproof drawing pens. Next is a picture made with my coloured pencils that I've had for ever. They might be ancient but they still do the job!  Oh. And my black pentel brush pen and a gold gel pen. I love a bit of gold. And finally here's a cute little cucumber that Middle Daughter grew in her garden. It looks like a lemon doesn't it? It's about the same size as a satsuma and I think they're called lemon cucumbers but let me assure you they taste like a very tasty cucumber. Have a great week!xx
