Happy Christmas!

-

 The three ships are alight on Brixham Harbour,
 it's Christmas time! (In case you needed telling.) ;)


 We've had some lovely moments of afternoon winter sun over the past few days. 



 But what does it mean when the cows are sitting down? 
Rain! 


It looks cosy inside this house doesn't it with the lights on through the windows?


 The gamekeeper's cottage at Cockington hasn't been lived in for 100 years. Hopefully one day it'll be loved back to life. It's still beautiful to me.


 So now it's time to go back home to dry off and get things ready for the busy days to come.


Wishing you all a very merry Christmas 
and a peaceful new year. xx

What beautiful photographs, that thatched cottage is absolutely gorgeous. The boats are really unusual and effective aren't they. I hope you have a really wonderful Christmas. CJ xx

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...
