Bluebell Heaven

-
The extended easter holidays is almost at an end. A royal wedding and days out in the sunshine, it's been a good long break.
First, prepare to be swamped by my photos of a local woodland walk!
Heaven or what?














Following the blue theme,
 a page from my sketchbook...
I think my daughter must be on my mind. My first baby is soon to have her first baby and I'm very excited about it!

Beautiful blue.
We have a bluebell wood right at the bottom of our garden, strangely this year the display isn't as good as usual.
Congratulations to Mum and Nan to be.

Amy says: I came across your blog site for the first time today. What a gift your pictures of bluebells are. We moved from the rural US to a city in S. Korea. When we lived in the US I would visit the woods in the springtime and bask in the beauty of the bluebells. Thank you for sharing these wonderful photos.

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.

This is my final medium and then finding myself being drawn to changing once again to a different way of wor...
