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! Julie
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.
Lovely work! I really like the leafy patterns and colours. Great blog too! Your photos are making me miss England. I moved away 8 years ago and although I have sunshine I miss the countryside.Thanks for sharing :D I'll be back for more!
This is my painting for this week's Illustration Friday word. I first drew it with a black fineliner pen, added watercolour and finished the shading with coloured pencils. I don't know why I'm drawing fish recently, it could be the shape. They're similar to leaves aren't they, and teardrops or raindrops? I tend to draw a lot of spirals too. What shapes do you have a tendency to draw? (close-up view) Don't forget I have a 10% discount in my Etsy shop this week! :)
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...
I like to make pictures that aren't a conventional landscape, so that the ground and the sky are interchangeable, dreamlike, floating. These paintings are done using my Tombow dual brush pens, the watercolour effect is made by adding water to the pen marks with an ordinary brush. This next one below is painted in watercolours and the black is done in waterproof drawing pens. Next is a picture made with my coloured pencils that I've had for ever. They might be ancient but they still do the job! Oh. And my black pentel brush pen and a gold gel pen. I love a bit of gold. And finally here's a cute little cucumber that Middle Daughter grew in her garden. It looks like a lemon doesn't it? It's about the same size as a satsuma and I think they're called lemon cucumbers but let me assure you they taste like a very tasty cucumber. Have a great week!xx
