Some kind of branchy, leafy, flowery thing! As my husband described it

I'm creating a drawing a day, just for the art of it.
Today's is a branchy, leafy, flowery thing.
I have been at the V&A today, it's the world's biggest museum of design and decorative arts, which pretty much makes it MY museum! Love it!

This work is sort of an emotional response to the Japanese collection.

Ice-skating girl

I'm creating a drawing a day, for two years (yeah! It's official, I'm going to do it again) just for the art of it.

Some of my lovely artist friends have decided to do it too (some every day, some once a month) and you can search on Facebook for #drawingadayclub to see their varied and interesting works of art.

Today's drawing is a girl ice-skating. My daughter Jasmine of course.

Seeing the future.

Today's is a fantasy art picture of a girl seeing the future or some other magic, whatever you want.

Leopard. Fine pens and markers on paper.

I'm creating a drawing a day for a year, just for the art of it.

Today's is my favourite animal, a leopard.
Perhaps you are not supposed to say this about your own work but I really like this drawing, it went well. So often I can't be bothered to draw, it's too late, I don't feel happy enough, then I do and I get drawn into it and enjoy it and enjoy the result. Perhaps the days I least feel like creating are the days I most need to.

Flowers

I'm creating a drawing a day for a year, just for the art of it.

So tired after having my daughter's birthday party I fell asleep reading her a story, but somehow I woke up and drew!

Porcupine

I'm creating a drawing a day for the art of it.

Porcupine.

When I was in Italy my friend and I sat out in an olive orchard most of the night, with a saucer of milk, hoping to spot one of these, we collected many quills and had the best hedgehog sighting of my life, but sadly we did not see one of these.
