HE'S HOME!

 

After a 5 week stay in hospital hubby is finally home! I just plead with the universe that it does not throw me more challenges for a long time. I need some breathing space, a chance to regain some positive outlook on life and get rid of the constant anxiety I have developed over the year. 

Well, back to colouring now. Here is a page I completed about a week ago from Rita Berman's 'Hidden Seasons'. 

I have been working on this next page for a few days . It is from Johanna Basford's 'Enchanted Forest' and started out as a raven but somehow morphed into a mythical bird along the way. I do enjoy seeing where the illustration takes me as I start adding colour to a page.

I have no idea if I am going to add a background or leave a vast white space yet. Sometimes I just spend half an hour colouring and then come back with ideas the next day. I added speckles to the eggs and used that colour because that is what ravens eggs look like. The colour is a bit more vibrant but I am not trying to replicate real images. Just exploring and having fun.

Well, it is officially summer tomorrow. Apparently! I can not recall in my lifetime ever having had such cool weather in November. I do hope summer puts in more than a cameo appearance soon, although I would also hope the fire risk is not very high this summer. 

Thanks for visiting.
