Explosions of colour

Hello blogworld! It's been a while...! Whilst I am admittedly the worst blogger in history (It's been MONTHS!) I have actually been pretty busy creating, painting and scribbling down ideas. Here are a few snippets of what I have been doing. 

What I lack in my dedication to blogging, I certainly make up for in embracing this beautiful weather, spending as much time as possible on the beach, walking in the mountains and through forests; jumping in lakes and avoiding the hundreds of jellyfish that seem to have appeared in the welsh waters since the sun popped out. My favourite thing about this time of year is that everything becomes so colourful, there are vibrant flowers everywhere, the butterflies are fluttering, the sea is glistening and everyone is in a better mood because of it. Long may it continue. Wishful thinking living in Wales, but I like to be optimistic about these things. 

In the meantime it serves as great inspiration for artwork.

New pens....oooooh!

Don't you just love it when you order something online and completely forget you've done so?! Then a few days later it arrives like a present! This happened to me on Friday when to my delight some wonderful new pens arrived for me :-)
I have been using the black and white UNI posca pens for a long time, so its about time I ventured over to the coloured ones. I love them! I also got a Staedler triplus colour set...which I am equally loving. Above are a couple of small sketchbook drawings using them.

 

 

Unfortunately the day job has taken over a lot this week, meaning I have been quite unproductive. I did, however, get into the halloween spirit today and have made this bat print. (Apologies for the photos, lights not great today) I think I will wear it as a scarf...just need to sew the edges. I'll post a photo when its finished. What is everyone else up to this weekend? Something exciting I hope :-) Have a great one!
