A Shot of Pink

-

To me, pink is happy and comforting. I love its bright jolly colour that adds a shot of warmth.
As you might be aware if you've visited here before, purple is my favourite of all and I'm currently making a summer cardigan in a lovely shade of lilac.


As much as I love purple, I felt it needed a shot of pink so I'm edging the sleeves with a narrow strip of bright fuschia! 


You can see the project in more detail here on Ravelry if you like. :)


Meanwhile, this morning I've listed a brand new print of my painting on canvas 'Travelling Dreams' on Etsy.

What a lovely new look to your blog! I'm sure I've told you this before, but I wish I had more guts to use bright colors like you do! :)

Thankyou Amalia! I might be frightened of lots of things but colour is definitely not one of them! ;)

I also had the thought that the lovely pink flowers were of paper!
I think pink is wonderful! xo Karen

Pink is a wonderful colour - agreed. Aren't dreams just the best way to travel - whether you are sleeping or awake, you have captured the mystery of dreaming so well in this wonderful art work.

i have always wanted a pink cistus. we once had a beautiful white one, so prolific in flower but sadly we lost her during a bitter winter.
i love how the pretty blooms have influenced your cardigan :)

Such a Wondrous Place this Faery Space said…
Dear friend, I feel the same about you! You are light and sweetness everytime! Your art is like no other in creating mood and it is appreciated so! I woke this morning and went with coffee in hand to the tiny little room I have been creating for reading (I read everywhere and have books everywhere, but, any how...) and read The Pink. I feel the same about that color. It holds magic and good feelings. Take care and thank-you for being you!

the print is gorgeous Jess; i love the line work of her transparent body, how it merges with the colours. it’s just wonderful.

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...
