At One With Nature

-
Here are some photos I took a few days ago for a little escapism.

Nature soothes the soul with its beauty.

 I would love to live in an old stone house, a house full of stories. Wouldn't you? This poor old house hasn't had anyone living in it for a long while.

The stories that door could tell I'm sure.

I gaze upwards and marvel at the trees.

My painting 'At One With Nature'

Do you like my new blog header? I felt it time for a change. :)

♥This painting is available as a print in my shop. from today.♥

i love this new look on your blog! it's now more beautiful than ever ❤
and im so happy that a print of your beautiful new painting is available :) i have just purchased one! (i am cicely meadowsweet on etsy).
i adore everything about this post, your photographs and painting are stunning!
when visiting your shop i saw a couple more prints i want to purchase in the future. if i could i would scoop them all up, but on my tiny church mouse pension i can only allow myself one at a time and i am so pleased that 'at one with nature' will be gracing my home this summer :)
i hope that life is being kinder to you. it's good that you are enfolding yourself in the healing and regenerative powers of nature.

blessings of gentle green and summer gold xxx

Dear Jessie, I love your new header! And too this kind of sceneries you show us, looking a bit like beeing in dream state and jungle experience at once ;-)

I really like your new header - I like how you have included different layers of colour and the picture of a lash green garden - you have a wonderful way of putting colours together and creating a certain mood or feeling with their use.

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...
