Light the night

Tonight we are going to  Light The Night  to support the leaukaemia Foundation, as they have supported my family

I did this illustration today.

(watercolour on paper)



Old Fashioned

Is the topic for this week on  Illustration Friday

"It's that wonderful old-fashioned idea that others come first and you come second. This was the whole ethic by which I was brought up. Others matter more than you do, so 'don't fuss, dear; get on with it."

 ~ Audrey Hepburn

I love this quote, you can just imagine darling Audrey stating it in the most earnest manner.

I've put this image in as a painting I did in ode to the masters, it may seem a little 'old fashioned' in style but I LOVED painting it and I'm hoping holds a contemporary twist ?

(acrylic on wood)

Acrobat

Is the suggested topic for Illustration Friday this week

"The poet like an acrobat climbs on rime to a

 high wire of his own making."

 ~ Lawrence Ferlinghetti

The paint was still wet when I photographed this little guy, I've been experimenting with colour and texture recently. I'm not sure if the image is too simple, the canvas is quite large.

(acrylic and mixed media on canvas)



proverb

Is the interesting prompt for Illustration Friday  this week.

"A proverb is a short sentence based on long experience."

~ Miguel de Cervantes

"Mrs Tipple's Russian Blue I & II "

 Mrs Tipple couldn't decide on which outfit she wanted to wear,

 so we painted her in two,

 luckily we didn't have the same problem with her Russian Blue.
