New Paintings!

Hi folks!

I have been hiding, because I don't like the cold weather - or the dull, rainy days!  Please let the sun shine!

I have been painting some small pieces of art, but I seem to be all over the place at the moment, and I'm not sure what to draw or paint!  After using markers for a while, I decided to get out my watercolours and gouache.  I also decided to add some college using papers and fabric.  Here is the result:

Here are the smaller pieces (on handmade paper!)

I have three new paintings in my Etsy shop, so go take a look!  Thanks for visiting and I hope you have a wonderful (sunny) week!  I hope to start some more paintings tomorrow, so please come back soon. :)

Raffle card!

Just added this card to the ATC Raffle Group at Flickr!  Hope you like her!

She is drawn with Letraset Promarkers and gel pens.

Here is something else I drew at around 6.00 am in the morning (after letting the cats out!)  I love drawing in pen and ink.  I admit this is a little creepy, but I do like a bit of dark, surreal art!  She is a ghostly figure of a girl.  My husband thinks it is a very odd piece of art - but very unique! Ha ha! What do you think? :)

More art on Etsy!

Hi everyone,

I have just added more art cards to Etsy including this big eyed girl!  I love drawing big-eyed whimsical girls, don't you?!  

I can't wait for the days to get longer, and then I can create more art.  The lighting in my house is so dull because of the low energy light bulbs.  I often pick up the wrong coloured pencil by mistake, when I'm drawing. Maybe I just need stronger glasses ha ha!  

Here's to warm, sunny Spring days! :)

Etsy Shop Now Open!

Hi folks

Just to let you know my Etsy shop is now open!  Wish me luck! :)

I will be adding another raffle card in the Raffle Group at Flickr soon. I will let you know when it is posted.

Hope you are all having a wonderful weekend.  I wish you luck with all your creative endeavours this week - have fun!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Hope you all had a great Christmas and that 2013 will be a joyous year for each and every one of you!

I will be opening  my new Etsy shop within the next couple of weeks (I will add a link once it opens!).
Here are more art cards I will be selling - 3 wise, whimsical owls! The first 2 were created using Letraset Aqua markers and gel pens - and for the 3rd owl I used Derwent Inktense pencils and gel pens.

It was so lovely to see the sun shining this morning, after weeks of dull, rainy weather.  Let's hope it continues for the rest of the week! :)

Hi folks!

Here is another art card I will be selling on Etsy!  She is a nature goddess called "Hope".   Her eyes shine, with hope for the future. I drew her with Letraset Aqua markers.  I love creating my nature goddess cards - I usually put on some relaxing music and draw intuitively.  It's fun seeing how they turn out!  I recommend it if you are feeling stressed!

Here she is:

I've been playing around with Adobe Photoshop Elements.   Here is what I created:

I also made a sweet, whimsical princess art card which I will be selling in my new Etsy shop in the new year. I will be making more whimsy girl cards, plus some animal cards - dogs, foxes, cats and birds.  I have lots of new ideas and will be adding more art here soon.  Meanwhile, have a very Happy Christmas! :)
