Hello Spring

Hello Spring!


It's finally here and what an entrance! A glorious warm sunny day today following the excitement from yesterday of the solar eclipse. It must mean that new starts and changes are afoot don't you think?
My paintings seem to have changed with the lovely sunshine. What do you know? I've found myself painting flowers again.

Here's my new painting hanging on the wall. I love my purple walls. :)
It's called 'Morning Revelation' and measures 12 x 6inches, which is 30 x 15cm. It's painted on box canvas (I think some people would call this gallery wrapped canvas?) and the sides are 1½ inches, or 4cm deep. As you can see above, it's ready to hang on the wall, no need of a frame. Please click here to see all the details. :)
You might have noticed my blog banner is now sporting this new cheery painting. I thought it would be perfect to welcome in the Springtime!
Thankyou for visiting here today, I wish you a lovely Spring (or Autumn!) Equinox day wherever you are. :) xx

Hello, Spring! Hello, new life, beauty and joy!
It's been a sunny day here, too! Hope many more warm days are awaiting for us!
Your painting is so cheerful and full of fragrance, Jessie! I suppose your "flower period" will last long...:)

Goodness me! I love this Jess ! You mentioned you were working on a landscape and I had no idea it was thus wonderful. I love the colours and yes they look so spring like. You also use a lot of white which I might have a go at doing. It seems to lighten the whole thing. Creating detail but without being heavy.

A very nice painting, Jess, and I love those purple walls! It's always nice to see your Header change from time to time. I wish I changed mine more often.

Spring is here, and it's supposed to be in the 80's this weekend. :~)

love, ~Sheri

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...
