It's Arrived!

-
 These were taken in my garden yesterday. While most of the country was covered in the white stuff it seemed to missed here completely.

Even this primrose that I've shown you before here hadn't seen any frost since I last showed you it in November. That snail hadn't finished it off either!

 Spring really looked as though it was beginning. Bulbs are shooting

Snow? -  it seemed very unlikely.

But at last it's arrived, so here are the obligatory snowy pics of my back garden today!

No longer looking like a messy wintery flowerbed, now nice white fluffy pom-poms!

 See that nice smooth white patch on the ground?



How could I resist? ;)

Pretty snow bird! I am a shameless snow lover; it just turns a normal day into a special occasion.

Blimey - that is a lot of snow 'yay!'

We've had none today, but I think that's all going to change from tonight.

Have a fabulous weekend and enjoy the snow,

I could read your blog all day Jess! It's the good part of not visiting as much as I should...I get to catch up!
You made the snow seem happy, and it is pretty at first, until it's all footprinted up
Loved reading about your sketch books,
loved seeing the pages too...feels like such a sneaky thing to do.
I am not even gonna bring up the cardigan...

Glad you decided to keep blogging,
you have one of the best!
Your photography is so good and your writing! and your art! and you are pretty too!!!
That's the list of reasons I like you...♥♥

winter is such an interesting season, the way it changes daily. Spring is so far away for us. I think we are one third into winter.... so i will think of sliding through the woods on skis....

I think the only place to escape the snows are the south west tips of Cornwall (maybe Plymouth). I am not sure whether to feel glad or sorry for them. Doesn't the snow make everything look good?

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...
