Any Day

-
My first baby is having her first baby any day now. It was actually due on Friday the 13th. There was thunder and lightening that night where they live in London and she was hoping it would make its entrance during a dramatic clap of lightening!
It didn't.

Her own birth was nearly 3 weeks over the estimated time. Yes, they let you go that long in those days! Her birthday this year will fall on 11-11-11.
Is it a girl?
Is it a boy?

I don't know yet but I do know whatever it is,
it's a baby!

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...
