Queen Neptune

-

 Hello, I expect you're getting busier by the day in the lead up to christmas! If you have a little moment to spare amongst the madness, I'd like to show you my latest watercolour painting that I'm calling 'Queen Neptune'. She's available here if you'd like to see the details.

Could I have been inspired by my christmas fairy as I painted this?


Or maybe by my recent visits to the sea?


..both probably!

My Etsy shop will be closed this Wednesday evening,(17th December) for the christmas holidays and I'll reopen on January 1st. 

I managed to squeeze in one last christmassy painting!


This one is called 'Chance Meeting'. It's 10 x 8 and £30 (worldwide shipping, all currencies accepted.) If you'd like to see the details, please click here.

I'll be back here soon, meanwhile, enjoy the run up to christmas!

Oh, yes, Jessie, I'm busier than ever, but around midnight I finally found time for some blogging. And what better than looking at a tender Sea Queen, smiling to me and wishing me sweet dreams?:)
The other drawing is magical and dreamy - I like it very much!
Today I worked together with an artist upon some cardboard masks for our Christmas performance. I'm so tired... It's time for bed now, but I must cut and glue at least one more hedgehog and my husband is writing some dialogues, because we are short of time. Still, we enjoy ourselves!
Wishing you a wonderful week! xx

Oh my gosh, Queen Neptune is beautiful. And I love the Christmas fairy too. How did you know that fairies get to me every time, Jess?

I wish you the merriest of Christmases. You're such a talented artist and a special blog friend.

love,

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...
