Illustration Friday: Breakfast

-

The word this week is breakfast, I didn't really want to draw what I eat for breakfast myself, which is a bowl of Country Crisp with raspberries, so this is what I ended up drawing instead. Oops! I've just realised I forgot to draw the saucer that should be with the teacup!
I think the lady with the plait is discussing the owl that's in the other lady's bowl of fruit. What do you think?

I have just discovered your blog and have enjoyed having a ramble through it. Just love your art.
It looks to me as though it's quite normal to these two ladies to have an owl in the fruit bowl - I think they are enjoying a wonderful friend to friend chat and that all is possible in their world.

They are both thoroughly charming... and fresh fruit and tea for breakfast sounds fine. But how did the owl get in the fruit bowl in the first place ???

An owl mystery...

I love this illustration. You always bring a smile to my day, Jess!

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...
