A Windy Summer Solstice

-


Thankyou so much for sharing your favourite white pen links with me. I shall be able to buy a new one - hooray! :)
In case you were wondering, the one I have at the moment is made by Pentel. My Amazon wishlist now has new additions, thankyou!


It's very windy here today and no sooner is the sky blue and clear and safe to put the washing out, it clouds over and threatens rain!
I wish you all a happy and sunny Solstice Weekend.xx

Thankyou! I'm glad to be able to find out about buying new white pens too. I don't know why shops don't stock them very often, they're so lovely to use aren't they?x

Bonsoir ma chère Jessie,

Je ne sais plus si finalement l'été est arrivé chez nous. La météo est très capricieuse et aujourd'hui notamment il fait anormalement frais.
Dommage pour le solstice d'été ! Heureusement qu'en ouvrant la porte de ton blog j'ai la joie de me sentir bien... Une brassée de belles couleurs et de la vie !
J'adore ce fil et le linge qui sèche! J'aimais passer du temps avec ma grand-mère lorsque j'étais petite à étendre le linge.

Je te fais de gros bisous et un grand merci pour cette très jolie publication avec tes belles oeuvres. Tu as plein de talent.

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...
