Pathway To Radiance

-

It's been mighty chilly lately hasn't it? I've been spending the evenings knitting my cowl and wrapping myself in crocheted blankets!
While you're sat here by the fire with me, I want to share with you a lovely e-book by a lady called Sarah O'Leary. She has a blog called 'Holistic Hot Sauce' and has just finished writing her e-book, 
Pathway To Radiance, Self-care Strategies from 50 Empowered Women.

This is the intro..
I’m Sarah. It’s taken me more than 50 
years ...but I’m slowly learning how to 
truly love and cherish myself. Learning 
the true meaning of self-care. I invite 
you to join me on the journey. This book 
is my gift to you, offered with love and in 
the spirit of service.
The e-book contains illustrations by me :) and includes other artists' beautiful paintings too.  It's free to subscribers and if you visit her web-site you can get yours delivered to your inbox.
Perfect for curling up by the fire to read. A christmas present to yourself for free!


 Before I curl up by the fire to enjoy my own copy, here's my sketchbook pages I did earlier today.


This one is loosely based on Dartmouth. I must be missing the sea-side! :)

I just LOVE your purple painting...the way the lady is curled up on the pretty houses...that's how I feel about pretty places.

What a generous thing for your friend to do and with your art work in there too. Wonderful!

Stay warm!

I am jealous of your fire, we don't have a fire in our house just boring old central heating....boooo!!!

I am totally in love with the girl on top of the houses, you have a wonderful imagination and that painting is just perfect.

Wishing you a warm and wonderful Christmas

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...
