A Passion For Colour

-

It might not surprise you when I say that one of my favourite places to be is by the seaside! I mentioned in a previous post that I'm planning an exhibition with my friend Peri. What better place to have our exhibition than in the beautiful town of Dartmouth?!


Here's the view looking down towards the castle. I took this the other day on a walk through Kingswear.
We're showing our paintings at the Flavel Arts Centre which is very close to Dartmouth harbour. We're busy getting things ready, finishing paintings, making lists and sorting out cards to sell alongside the paintings.


I've finished packaging them all up and I was going to take all the cards for the exhibition but then I thought it would be a nice idea to have some in my Etsy shop to so that everyone can have a chance of buying them. So here they are:


This is the one of the christmas packs, each with 3 different designs.





Please click here to see more details of the christmas packs.

The other card designs I'm selling individually.


There are 5 different designs, each one blank inside for your own message:






See one there you like? :)

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.
