WIP: A Day Spent Painting...

ArtofAmy and ArtbyLily

Our friends daughter is 6 years old and i gave her an Original ArtofAmy painting along with a bunch of prints awhile back and I was recently given the most WONDERFUL 'Thank-You' gift in return! - Lily was so inspired by my art prints she draw a few of her own interpretations which are currently proudly on my fridge for everyone to see!

THANK YOU LILY!

Welcoming a New Year + New Artworks!

I have found I have done a lot of sketching over the last few month (which I never do!) yet VERY little painting so my goal - put those drawings onto canvas!

Ready for the next Stage...

Welcoming Spring!

I wonder if the snow loves the trees and fields, that it kisses them so gently?

And then it covers them up snug, you know, with a white quilt;

and perhaps it says 'Go to sleep, darlings, till the summer comes again.'

Lewis Carroll

Inspired by Fairytails

New Drawings and Ideas!

I have been gradually getting back into artsy stuff and this week i have two new Girls/Drawings to share!

The Inspiration behind these Girls came when we went on a little outing to a rather whimsical, somewhat secret location and found HUNDREDS of these little wings scattered all over the ground.
I put a few in my pocket, alas, most of them broke... must make a note to go back and gather more!

Friday Flashback!

 After my previous post inspired by birds nests i thought I'd share an older piece with the same theme... Enjoy!

A Whimsical World

Anyone who knows me knows my love of Fairy-tales. This is where A LOT of my inspirations comes from and its surprising the amount of whimsy you can find in the 'Real World' if you just take the time to look around you.
This week i found some awesome, whimsical inspirations in my own back yard!

A Colourful Collection!

Looking over my artworks lately I have re-found my passion for painting!... It was never lost!... Just hiding under the layers life can create.
So first things first, stocking up on colours - my art supplies are looking a little sad and neglected right now!

A burst of motivation!

Its been to long since i picked up a pencil... let alone a paint brush!
While cleaning out the closest over the weekend i found some OLD sketches of mine, which reminded me just how much i need to get my ass into gear and start painting again...
Finding these old drawing was a good burst of motivation!
