Illustration Friday: Sink

-
My youngest son with his little niece Lexie, before the pantomime.

It's that time of year, pantomines, decorations, christmas trees. 
This week's Illustration Friday is the word 'sink'.
 
The christmas fairy on top of the tree started to sink....
 
oh dear!

Oh no, that can't happen, tell the fairy she just needs to flutter her wings and all will be well.

Oh no... that explains why she is sinking.. no wings. Poor fairy - she must be a learner fairy and hasn't ranked up high enough to earn them yet. x

jess, i come here to say something about your words over at my place, and then i totally forget that once i'm here! i'm distracted by your art or photos!!

i don't think this fairy really *needs* wings. she looks quite capable of levitating without them! yes, i think she's impressed the little bird... ; )

Hi Tracy, you could be right but I've just painted some on now because she looked like she needed some! :)

Thanks Mary, the wonders of Photoshop! ;o)

Thanks Julie, I'm so proud of them all. :)

Ah, this is fun and a sweet fairy image!
I don't have a sinking fairy on my tree, but I do have a sinking star, well a bent one. It just won't sit straight! ;-D

Anyway, I just stopped by to wish you and your lovely family a Merry Christmas and very Happy New Year!

Oh that explains it! Just thought they were hiding behind her shoulders. A fairy needs her wings, especially at Christmas, just put mine on the tree.

Oh this is wonderful! Has she eaten too many marzipan fruit? Or almond cakes? She looks pretty slim though!

I love all this colour!!!

Thankyou Stephanie :) She has and so have I and it's not even christmas yet! I've given her some wings now so her weight won't be a problem any more. ;o)

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...
