The Weekend is Nigh

-
Here's my youngest daughter with my granddaughter on the steam train in Devon a few days ago. It still feels odd saying 'granddaughter'. I'm not the usual stereotypical granny you know!
I used to think I ought to behave like a grown up but gave up years ago. Maybe that's a good thing when you're an artist? What do you think?

I thought I'd show you my four paintings I have for sale at very, very low prices on Ebay (£4.99!). They are all original watercolour paintings by me and they end this sunday.
:o)
The bottom right one of the 'mud pack' has its bottom bit cropped, I've only just noticed that. It's completely intact in real life of that I can assure!

I often wonder when I'll feel like an adult too. Great prints.

Haha! I'll remember that Rosie! :o)

Thanks Kathryn, they're not prints, they're originals. Maybe I should have written that on the post? I think I will...

Hello Jess, thanks for visiting me today. It is great to reconnect again! Your wonderful paintings always make me miss England even more! I just love those yummy blue/purple colors you can achieve with the great light there.

No, I don't think you should grow up...just be Jess. :-) While I am not a grandmother, I can imagine it can be a challenge to think of yourself that way. Well, you don't have to, right?

Keep Painting...there are looking fabulous!

Artists and Peter Pan are never allowed to grow up. It would just ruin things.

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...
