I felt like drawing a face in my sketchbook with whatever I found in my hand. In this case it was an HB pencil, a bit blunt but I didn't want to think, just to draw.
Oh Thankyou! I did have fun doing this because I did it without worrying or thinking too much :o)

This lady as such a cute nose. Love how you have highlighted under the nose. Looks fantastic. It is a funny old thing the nose and seems to baffle most of us. You have it mastered! Love the knitted jumper, so soft.
Thanks Julie, I find it's tricky to do in paint, I remember when I used to do portraits how clumsy I was with the highlighting. I hope you have a brilliant week too, thankyou! :o)
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 given my Etsy shop a new lease of life and will be adding these 2 ACEO's later on this morning. I do like drawing birds!
Brixham Harbour It's been a while since my last post hasn't it? It's been a very busy Easter holiday for me, lots of things to sort out and jobs to do. Today's my first day at home but there's so much catching up to do after being away I don't know where to start! So I decided to start right here and to make this blogpost :) I did manage to have some relaxing time too and one of the places we went to was Avebury Manor. I've been to Avebury stone circles more times than I can count but have never visited the 500 year old Manor House. Each room has been restored to a different time period to represent the different generations of people who lived there over the years. I love the handpainted wallpaper in one of the rooms, so detailed. It was difficult to choose which part to photograph there was so much amazing pattern. It's based on an early English chinoiserie wallpaper from around 1700. The artist Mark Sands working on t
