Hello I'm still Here but Unable to Communicate Very Easily!

Hello out there!
I feel like I've been bound and gagged the last couple of days. My laptop had an accident and is now in the fixing shop having a very expensive fixing done. We have a family computer which I resorted to but again Fate stepped in again and stopped the keyboard from working! HOW frustrating was THAT? (very!)
I later found out that I could have used an 'online keyboard?' but even this is irrelevant now because it's been taken away to be repaired so here I am on a borrowed one, unable to blog properly.

But...
While I'm here I must say a massive thankyou to Amalia for giving me the Sunshine Award! There are so many of you that bring sunshine to my life with your wonderful blogs that I want to pass it on to you, yes YOU reading this now! This Land of Blogs is amazing and continues to amaze me all the time. Thankyou everyone who is part of it :o)

I can't upload a picture or even the picture of the award in this post as I'm on a borrowed computer. Meanwhile, I'm busy painting mermaids and fish and flowers and will share the pictures with you as soon as I can!
I look forward to being back to normal!

I would be lost without mine too now. How weird yet a few years back I didn't even hardly use a computer.
Looking forward to seeing your mermaids. :)

Thanks Rosie :)

Thanks Karen, I didn't have one either and I'm totally addicted now! I rely on it for so much.

Hi Ren,
I have actually been ill this week too but much better today. I could have done with my beloved laptop while sat in bed a couple of days ago! Oh well at least I've had chance to read more ;o)

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...
