Night Time Fear

Its still not snowing but it's quite dark here today. I played with some colour to lighten my day.


I had a dream last night. I didn't want this one to come true.


But it did.

Goodness! That sounds ominous...but that is a really great owl painting, it really reminds me of Brian Wildsmiths work.

Thankyou Robin, the day has a dark feeling and it seems to have been displayed on my page!

wow, you dreamt, then it came true, That is fast.
Your colorful art is wonderful to see as well as a glimpse of your work space. I always love seeing a bit more of an artists work space and their materials.

I love owls. They represnet tarnsistion for me. During the time of H. Bosch owls represented deatha nd despair. Over time "tehy" learned from their lessons and now represent wisdom and knowledge. They can see though teh dark. Lietrally and methamorphorically. Plenty of snow here....

Thanks Marilyn, I think owls are a positive motif too, despite my ominous words!
Thanks Tammie, yes from time to time I do get dreams that come true the next day, I wish I could do it to order though! ;)

Hi Paula, I like them being wise creatures of the night! They're unusual looking creatures aren't they? We actually have snow falling today!

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...

Dreamlike Painting

-
Image
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
