New Flower Paintings

-

Thankyou so much for my new likes on my Facebook page, you're all so lovely! I'm still learning how it works, it's slightly different to the one I had before but I think it's going to be easier because I use the same email address as my personal one, so it's just a click away for me. I'm so happy to have 37 likes already - yay!
Having recently spending many hours decorating the bathroom I still have houses on my mind hence the house in this new painting! It measures 25 x 25cm (that's 10 x 10ins) and is painted on a box style canvas, ready to hang on your wall.
It's now available to buy in my Etsy shop.

You might remember this sketch I made a couple of weeks ago. I'm going to make a new painting based on it.

Experimenting with colours, I like the orange and pink so they'll stay, not sure about the jug staying purple though and those fried egg flowers? 
They've got to go!


 I'll put updates of its progress on Facebook if you'd like to see. 
When it's finished I'll be sure to post here!

 Don't forget to take a look at the new SALE section of my shop, there's still lots left to choose from :)

Nice work Jess! :) These houses and flowers kind of remind me of the old style cross-stitches you see in museums and such!

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...
