The Full Moon and Autumn Equinox

-

What a day it is today. Not only the full moon but also the autumn equinox!

To celebrate this special day I'm listing two watercolour paintings of mine for sale on Etsy.
Both paintings measure 22 x 30cm (9 x 12 ins.)
They are $40 each (that's approximately £25 in UK money.) They're listed in US dollars but the amount will be automatically converted to your own currency!

The triple Goddess - worshipped by the Ancient Britons, is now in her aspect of the ageing Goddess and now passes from Mother to Crone, until she is reborn as a youthful virgin as the wheel of nature turns.
At the Autumn equinox the goddess offers wisdom, healing and rest.
I feel strangely drawn to this description!
Exciting Update.....
This painting has been included in an Etsy Treasury! :)))) CLICK HERE to see!

Lovely images, I especially like the one with antlers. I think I know how she feels. I have been looking forward to this season for so long.

Jessie, I love both of these, but especially the moon. You have such a wonderfully soothing style - very whimsical but sort of fantastical too. wonderful work.

Jess, I can see why she has been added to the Etsy Treasury, because she is truly exceptional. Congratulations! I agree this description works its way into some part deep inside and I also like that.

Both of these paintings are truly wonderful and maybe you have found a new series. At any rate, I love this direction and the way you express it - so introspective and joyfully!

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...
