Hooky Hooks

-
I've been doing some hooking recently. This kind of hooking will eventually be a cosy blanket to keep knees warm on the settee. This pink seems to photograph very bright. I suppose it is very vivid in real life and perhaps I've become a bit unaware how bright it actually is. I illustrate an article in the Britchop magazine and last month's issue was about how bike engines can sometimes sound like other things. Here it is in print. Next issue there's an article about traffic wardens so here is my other type of 'hooking' I've been doing!I know which type of hooking I prefer!

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...
