A Garden of Insects

-

I was watching the TV this morning while eating my breakfast and sat there admiring the beautiful colour of Lady Gaga's dress. It was an unusual shade of pink and really suited her colouring. I though either her or her stylist must have a very good sense of colour. A few seconds I realised it was made out of MEAT! arrgghhhhh!

The picture above bears no relation to what I've just told you, I just thought I'd share my page of pen and ink drawing I did yesterday while I was babysitting! It was fun, I think I'll do some more! :)

I hated the very idea of a meat dress but I did love those weird, gold, skyscraper shoes.
I like your drawings. I have met a few of those creatures.

The meat dress sounds kind of gross, love the ink drawing though.

hahah yes the meat dress is a bit of a worry, from a distance not so bad but I wonder how it would smell close up ;0)

Love your pen and ink drawing!

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

I thought this was quite an appropriate word for some of us this week with all this snow! It was very exciting at first to have everyone home on a school day but today they're back and I must say it's nice to have the space again to get on with my own things! I've given my Etsy shop a new lease of life and will be adding these 2 ACEO's later on this morning. I do like drawing birds!

A Day Out

Brixham Harbour It's been a while since my last post hasn't it? It's been a very busy Easter holiday for me, lots of things to sort out and jobs to do. Today's my first day at home but there's so much catching up to do after being away I don't know where to start! So I decided to start right here and to make this blogpost :) I did manage to have some relaxing time too and one of the places we went to was  Avebury Manor.  I've been to Avebury stone circles more times than I can count but have never visited the 500 year old Manor House. Each room has been restored to a different time period to represent the different generations of people who lived there over the years. I love the handpainted wallpaper in one of the rooms, so detailed. It was difficult to choose which part to photograph there was so much amazing pattern.   It's based on   an early English chinoiserie wallpaper from around 1700. The artist Mark Sands working on t
