Illustration Friday: Sweater

-
An elephant in the room is one thing and an elephant dancing on the spot is another! ;)
This week's word for Illustration Friday is 'sweater'.
I've never called them sweaters, or pullovers, I call them jumpers or long sleeved tops! What do you call them?

Super cute illustration! I just love your use of color~~I call them "sweaters" most of the time (because i'm an American), but I live in Belgium, so sometimes I call them "les pulls." ;-)

I call them jumpers too! Always, and when I was a little girl for some reason no one knew and I can't remember, I called my adored maternal grandfather Cyril 'Jumper'. So, your lovely elephant in a jumper helped me remember my Jumper.

I like hugging people when they wear woolly jumpers. It's so cuddly! :)

Your elephant looks the happiest ever in that sweater! He saying "hey look at me, I'm so cool!
My mum is doing really well, thanks so much for asking Jessie! She is so sweet, I just want to pick her up like a child and sit her on my knee.
Jessie, I like your new advatar picture also. Really pretty!
Lovexx

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

-

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
