Wow, the wind is surely howling around the place her today!

Sketchbook Snaps Continued ... :)

Another peek into my sketchbook today...scribbly,doodley,sometimes a bit wonky, but all created with love!

Peeks inside my sketchbook!

I haven't shared any sketchbook or journalling pages for a while, so will endeavour to show a few this week...they are not perfect but often provide a stepping point for future work. I am SO enjoying painting again at last,after a period of grief and loss causing artist's block, I was unable to get 'in the zone',but I am finally now able to lose myself amongst inks and paints and create a colourful and comforting safe place to be as whimsical and dreamy as I like. *** sending my fondest gratitude to the fairy muse for returning to me after her break! :) *** Sorry for the rough picture quality, I seem to have blown up the camera charger so had to resort to using my phone ...!
