This started off as an old watercolour painting of mine that I'd given up on a while ago. For some reason I didn't want to throw it away. Today I added a few lines of dark sepia ink and gave it a new lease of life.
Don't you think some things just need to wait for the right time?
Gorgeous work..and yes..when totally divine we are called back to a piece to create a new energy with it! I love the striations of her hair..they almost make me think of the bark of a tree..and how she is closely connected to nature or attuning to it's healing nature...she feels like she wants to be set free in some way! Beautiful piece..stunning! Victoria
Thanks Renilde, you are right and very observant. :)
Thanks Bee, yes I agree, when you're in the middle of it all, it's difficult to see the woods for the tres!
Thanks Micki :)
Thanks Victoria, again you are very in tune with my painting!
Thanks Monica. :)
Thanks Bella, It's so difficult to keep things that you don't like though isn't it? Comparing them to the new work is a good boost though, that is, if the new work is better! ;o)

I definitely do think there is a right time for everything. The trick is knowing when it is. I love your painting and all of its details. I found myself looking at all of them in wonder. Your work is beautiful.

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...
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
