Illustration Friday: Spooky

-

I could have done a painting on the traditional Halloween theme but for some reason this image evolved on the page! I find it spooky, do you? ;)
Do you remember my recent give-away? I've now listed the postcards on Etsy and they're only $2.50 each. I had them printed by Moo from my original paintings on canvas and they've done a great job! To see them please CLICK HERE.

The expression in these birds' eyes is definitely eerie, they are up to something, and I dont think it's gonna be pretty!!!!!

No for some reason I don't see these as spooky but they do appear to be telling me something. I think they have a message for me, especially the female in the middle. I wonder what she is saying.

Thankyou :) This was going to be just one image of a bird but ended up being 3 because I was trying out different expressions. I decided to use all of them in the end! :) xx

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...
