Reclining

-
I feel a bit like the girl in my picture, semi-reclining! It's been a mad whirl of visitors and lots of sleep-inducing food.
My birthday's in a few days too so this time of year feels particularly indulgent to me.
(I could never do moderation anyway!)

I hope you're all having a nice christmas week where ever you are. :)

I'm enjoying the colors and patterns in this drawing. And I love the little yellow guy holding her braid. Someone said once..."everything in moderation, including moderation" so enjoy!

D'avance je vous souhaite un très joyeux anniversaire...
Une très jolie illustration pleine de poésie...
Des couleurs acidulées telles un bon bonbon sucré...

Je vous renouvelle mes voeux pour 2012, afin que tout soit possible y compris le bonheur.
Gros bisous.

Moderation is good in its place. I am joining you in taking a back seat right now. I often think one year I shall not shake the sleep and stay like it.

I look forward to seeing more of your work in 2012.

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...
