Christmas Eve Eve.

Happy Christmas Eve Eve to you! I'm popping by very quickly just to share a few pics because it's a very busy time here as I'm sure it is for you too!







We managed to have a relaxing walk in Torquay at the weekend, a brief rest from all the busy errands.


 The weather's so mild here at the moment, a bit windy but not the usual cold December weather.


It was lovely to see so many cormorants. They seem to come nearer the land these days don't they?



 Back at home we're just about ready.


I won't have time to blog again this side of Christmas so I'd like to wish you a very merry christmas! I hope you have a wonderful time!
Jess 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.
