Illustration Friday: Duet

-
Here's my painting for the Illustration Friday word 'Duet'.


Are the tunes too different to eachother?


Or do they compliment eachother perfectly?

I love tulips, so went in search of some today. These colours compliment eachother perfectly!


I love tulips!

Your hedgehog duet is just too cute!

I love tulips too - my favourite flower - especially all those fluffy parrot varieties. I've got loads in pots about to open. I can't remember what I planted, although I know I bought some posh ones.

I think it must be the latter: they compliment each other perfectly. Couldn't be otherwise with all those hearts in the air! I love the colours by the way, especially the green and orange prickles :)

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.
