Illustration Friday: Bicycle

-
The word for Illustration Friday this week is bicycle.

While I'm here, let me show you yesterday's drawing too.

This one as you can see, doesn't have a bike in it.
It has an owl.
:)

update...
I changed the colours a little bit in this one. I think I might have had too many colours going on before, don't you?

You must be Spring inspired in a wonderful way, I like your drawings with all the patterns a lot. The 'home again' in your previous post is very beautiful, so is your owl. x

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.
