happy easter!



Sometimes as a child, I used to paint watercolour directly onto blown out eggs and I remember being very taken with the results indeed. Not sure how my mum felt about the dwindling egg supply...

This time, I figured watercolour on paper would work just fine too and we wouldn't have to eat scrambled eggs for days. Easter decorations are not a major thing in our house anyway - chocolate eggs and a vase of daffodils and we're pretty much good to go.

Have a lovely weekend, and may spring and the sun hurry along in these parts. We're ready for you, you know.

colour study

Sometimes I start a small warm up painting without knowing where I'm going, just colour, line and sometimes a pattern if something emerges. This small study on lovely thick paper has been knocking around the studio for a bit, and I've grown to love aspects of it. I hope something similar shows up in my more formal, structured illustration work sometime.
