Feeling More

I am trying something different this round.  And I think this might be good.  Looking inwards for my own ideas, my own thoughts, my own way of expression.  Venturing into the unknown and looking forward to discovery.

This is the home of my late grandparents, such a joyful place to be.  Warm and cosy and full of love and greenery, I still think of it with fondness and a smile on my face.

And here's one with some words which I really enjoyed thinking up and drawing...

Simplifying The Frame

Going for a more simple approach this round, a quiet reading corner on a rooftop garden in Milan:

All that's missing is a cup of camomile tea and a good read :)

English Gardens

There's just something about gardens that pull me in to take a second look.  Through some photos you can almost smell the fresh grass and hear the sounds of insects in a lush garden.  

My first attempt at doing an ink drawing with colour pencil:

New England Snapshots

New England is white-steepled churches, craggy coastlines, immaculate village greens.  And in Autumn, a beautiful foliage of reds, golds and yellows.  A perfect, perfect escape and dream.

Great Salt Pond, Block Island

The Thimbles, Connecticut

This One Is Special

15 flowers and 1 sparrow

Blacks & Whites

These would make lovely borders for cards.  Wanted to ink a little poem next to the designs but thought it best to leave them plain for now.
