Little Maisy and Some Trees

-
This is my granddaughter Maisy.
She has a very big smile just like her mother did when she was a baby! This is taken in my daughter's flat but they're coming to stay for christmas and I'm looking forward to that. This will be Maisy's first ever christmas and I'm so  pleased she's going to be here!

I managed to get out for a quick walk at the weekend for some much needed tree therapy. I love trees, whatever time of year.
They look like two people holding on to eachother
don't they?

oh my goodness, maisy *and* these trees.... both seem to be great therapy to me.

re: hexagons... i agree, they're very much like circles - this is something that i've noticed in the past weeks. it's come to me that basically they're circles that are 'sqooshed' up.

love to you, jess...

Lovely photo of Maisie.
I like trees so much, like to give them a hug, especially the oldies. Great to see the structure when the leaves fall and then the pure magic of the hoar frost which turns them into a petrified forest.
We've planted quite a few but our biggest, the walnut, was here when we moved in. Only about 6' then, you should see him now! Great crop of walnuts, unfortunately the cheeky squirrels take the majority.

Maisie is incredibly beautiful. Her smile lights up the page and I know the world around her.

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...
