Walkings

-
Thankyou for stopping by to see what I've been up to! :)
As you might have wondered, I've not been home long enough to do any blogging recently, so I'm glad you're here today so I can show you where I've been.

We had a lovely walk in the Malverns with my brother and neice. (She's the small one.)A beautiful place and I surprised myself by getting to the top of the hill which let me tell you was not on my planned agenda!We stopped in Tewkesbury for a lovely reward for all that walking. A delicious piece of carrot cake and milk shakes. Cup of tea for me.In between my adventures, I've been making some little paintings using my Inktense pencils. I love their rich colours which spring to life when you add water, great fun!






We had a boat trip along the river Dart last week too. They served free cake and tea, a trip to do again I think!

Your walk looked and sounded wonderful, I love days like that - being out and about in an awesome area with family. What could be better.
And I like your art, such lovely colours.

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...
