Frogs at Coleton Fishacre Garden

-

It was a lovely sunny warm weekend again yay! Sunday afternoon we went for a walk at Coleton Fishacre. There's a gorgeous house and gardens there but one thing I didn't expect to see were lots of frogs!




I used to like drawing frogs, I'm going to look into my posts from the past to dig out some to show you.
Here they are. :)









I didn't realise I did so many sketches of them!


I should have taken my sketchbook with me shouldn't I? It's such a pretty place, even in March.


 Not the usual March weather though was it?


Blue skies, blossom on the magnolia trees,



Who'd like to live in a house like this?
Me!



You could lose yourself in the gorgeous blue sea, so stunning.

Thankyou so much for visiting! xx

I like frogs there were many around in my childhood and tabpoles in every puddle not so many now it's a long time since I have seen a frog.

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...
