Tired

-
I started this page by writing "I want to sleep"
and the layers of collage and paint evolved from there.

I'm tired..can you tell?

She's beautiful and peaceful and wouldn't it be lovely to sleep so soundly. I love it. Maybe I will dream in blue shades tonight......

What a wonderfully ethereal picture. It really evoked the feel of a dream-filled sleep.

I hope you are able to re-charge your batteries and your tiredness is just temporary. There is a nasty little bug going round right now which my daughter is suffering from - hope you're not coming down with it.

Thanks Rex, I'd love to dream in shades of blue, what a lovely idea.

Thanks Victoria, I have been experiencing the most surreal dreams of late. :o)

Thankyou Julie, I love your description!

Thankyou Bee, you too, let's hope to catch up on sleep soon!

Thankyou Bella, I hope so too, it's as though I'm floating around in a trance a lot of the time!

What a restful, peaceful picture - she has succumbed to her wariness and let herself rest. This time of the year seems to leave lots of us tired, we have tried to do too much, not listened to our bodies, been caught up in the rush and pace of life - now its time to rest.

Nice! I love the colors. They really draw you in, and she does look peaceful.

I would love to get a nice night's sleep like that, but... I have a cat I have to fight with every night. Lol! I lose a lot of sleep because of that diva.

Hi J., perfect, this is the last blog I'm visiting before heading off to bed after a ridiculously late night at work... tired can visit dreams perhaps, dreams where flowers of midnight blue run wild.

Thankyou so much for your lovely comments :o) I'm still tired but seems par for the course these days! I do find accupuncture works, I always sleep deeply after a session of that but not had any for a few weeks! At least when we're sleepy we tap into the part of the brain that creates! ;O)

Dreamlike Painting

-
Image
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

Summer Breeze

What's happened to the weather? It's raining and windy and my gas was switched of all day yesterday so it was cold too! This little sketch popped into my sketchbook from my windy head. I finished this painting on canvas above a few days ago, it's called 'Safe Harbour' and soon after finished the other painting (with the bird flying a kite) too. I didn't have a name for it until the end and I decided upon 'Summer Breeze'. That was a day when the sun was still shining but the wind was beginning to stir. Summer Breeze sounds quite soothing doesn't it and I quite like the song of the same name. :) That guitar intro takes me back to being 13 before teenage angst really set in! Windy and rainy it might be but my latest painting is filled with a peaceful setting of pattern and colour. I like textures and the effects of different painting techniques and I'm trying to balance randomness with pattern. Not an easy ta...

Illustration Friday: Fluid

-
Image
This is my painting for this week's Illustration Friday word.  I first drew it with a black fineliner pen, added watercolour and finished the shading with coloured pencils. I don't know why I'm drawing fish recently, it could be the shape. They're similar to leaves aren't they, and teardrops or raindrops? I tend to draw a lot of spirals too.  What shapes do you have a tendency to draw? (close-up view) Don't forget I have a 10% discount in my Etsy shop this week! :)
