Illustration Friday 'Dessert'

It just had to be a fairy cake that I drew didn't it?!
Have you noticed how their name has changed to 'cupcake' over the past few years? Or am I just showing my age? ;o)

Jessie, how are you? Wonderful to hear from you. Your painting is gorgeous, I want to hug the fairy cake as much as this girl is. What a beautiful captured moment! LOVE<LOVE<LOVE! The colours you have used also, perfectly beautiful!
I have been on a spiritual mission I think. It mainlt started over my re-incarnation questioning about the painting in the London art galley by Antonello da messina. Has a Christian re-incarnation is not something spoken about and couldn't look into christianity for the answers and there I went off on a youtube adventure which led to many books. I have read more these last few months than in my entire life. Wow, what a journey.
I am so loving it.
Will be back to my art soon after the bathroom's finished. I feel all we do good and bad is eventually good experience as we learn so much from it and not to beat our selfs up about it anymore. Freedom is such a wonderful feeling. Yeah Go Jessie, free and wonderful lady! Yeah go Julie, too!
Loads of love!

I love the way she is looking at the fairy cake. I think fairy cake is absolutely perfect but I agree nearly everyone calls them cupcakes now. When my daughter found out that they use to be called fairy cakes she said 'I love fairy cakes lets make one now!'

This is so pretty, like all the commenter's are saying. Really you have captured charm and delight in all the features... I had never heard these called fairy cakes...but they are tiny.... so of course. Americans need to be more sensitive to these things. Someday I will have at least one grandchild and I will pass this on.

Beautiful, such a gorgeous face.
I always think of fairy cakes as being small and light and decidedly British whereas cupcakes are big and bold and very American.

Summer Breeze

What's happened to the weather? It's raining and windy and my gas was switched of all day yesterday so it was cold too! This little sketch popped into my sketchbook from my windy head. I finished this painting on canvas above a few days ago, it's called 'Safe Harbour' and soon after finished the other painting (with the bird flying a kite) too. I didn't have a name for it until the end and I decided upon 'Summer Breeze'. That was a day when the sun was still shining but the wind was beginning to stir. Summer Breeze sounds quite soothing doesn't it and I quite like the song of the same name. :) That guitar intro takes me back to being 13 before teenage angst really set in! Windy and rainy it might be but my latest painting is filled with a peaceful setting of pattern and colour. I like textures and the effects of different painting techniques and I'm trying to balance randomness with pattern. Not an easy ta...

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...
