Jasmine and Dylan

I'm creating a drawing a day for a year, just for the art of it.
Today's is my children snuggled up together.

It's coloured pencils on brown paper. Caran d' ache watersoluable pencils and Derwent Inktense but I have decided to leave them as pencil lines and not take a brush and wash the colour around. Included an earlier version too.

Fern

Today's is a fern. (Actually yesterday's as I fell asleep with my kids again).

Today's is my daughter playing.
We went to a fair and they had this log you sit, on surrounded by hay bails, and you hit your opponent with a sack filled with stuffing till someone falls off the log.

Jasmine has just knocked the other girl off and is victorious!

I forgot my art stuff so this in the inside cover of my diary and the pen that was in my handbag, but it's 10:30 at night and the baby only just went to sleep and I'm beat, so I am not doing another drawing!

Waterfall, ok I confess, I'm a little obsessed with waterfalls

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

Today's is a waterfall. I have done several waterfalls, but like the raw power, the eternalness, more and more and more water wearing away stone. It reassures me that the natural world is still a force to be reckoned with, we still have abundance, we simply need integrity and organisation to have a healthy world.

Flower in the park.

Today's is a flower found growing in the park.

Water lilies and gold fish.

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

Today's is water lilies and goldfish.

No need to get too hung up on "the colours things are" look closely and they are often not the colours we traditionally associate with them. Look out for a brown tree trunk and you soon realise that they are usually grey, green black or silver in various combinations.

Here are water lilies that are not green, water that is not blue and goldfish that are not orange (I admit that one is artistic licence as they sure are orange!) I hope you like it.

Tulips drawn with one continuous line.

Today's are tulips, drawn with one continuous line. Why? It seemed like a fun idea at the time.
