Illustration Friday: Natural

-

I've spent a lot of time over the Easter weekend enjoying the countryside. This is one of my favourite views. I love the way the hills tumble towards the sea.




Wild flowers are popping out all over the place.




 Trees and the sea. Two of my favourite things together at the same time. :).


This week at Illustration Friday, the word prompt is 'Natural'. With nature all around me and of course what with Easter too, here's what I was inspired to paint.


Do you think the rabbits are talking about the sleeping girl? 
I wonder what they're saying?

So pretty, the scenery as well as the painting! I think the rabbits are discussing how peaceful she looks.

What beautiful landscapes! It's so unexpectedly to see the sea over there!
And I hear this conversation:
"Do you want spring to stay longer?"
"Of course that I do!"
"Then be quiet, don't jump!"

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...
