Well done Kyra! Please send me you details by email and your chosen paintings shall wing their way to you across the ocean!

Here's a painting I did today in the sweltering tropical heat. 


What's your favourite flavour ice-cream? Mine's rum and raisin. :)
Could you help me give names to these 4 ladies? It's a bit of a challenge thinking up four names together but I know how good you are at it! Thankyou.xx

I've just looked at the comments on an ancient blog post of mine and found one from you. I don't think I ever saw it at the time and I don't know whether you ever returned to my blog. So anyway I've come over to say hello. I love your paintings!

More Cottages During Lockdown and a Change in Medium.

Image
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

New Discoveries in Cornwall

We've had a lovely holiday in my favourite place, Cornwall. While we were staying there this time, I wanted to visit the Eden Project, I've never been before. The biodomes were far bigger than I imagined. Their natural forms fit beautifully into the landscape. This Peruvian wall painting intrigued me. It was inside the rain forest dome along with the words below. Make of that what you will. I liked the pattern inside this tree trunk, nature knows how to make the best shapes doesn't it? I loved the beautiful yellow prairie plants. What lovely shapes they make against the dark interior of the hut. ♥ ♥ ♥ Right across from the other side of the Eden Project landscape I could see a giant steel man sculpture. He represents 'Adam'. Apparently ' Eve ' was there too but I didn't notice her. I'll have to go again and see all the things I missed the first time! We stayed in St Ives which you'd never guess from looking
