I have spent the past few days working on this and three other small watercolour works, and I think you will see them again soon in a new artists’ book Gracia and I are planning.
I’ll post the others, as soon as they are dry, in the next little bit.
May your midweek prove favourable, and here's hoping that earth hour left you feeling like you are not alone in your efforts to decrease your carbon footprint.
Medium: watercolour and pencil on Fabriano 640gsm traditional white paper
Dimensions: 18cm x 25cm
I want to have my studio on the top floor, is there a patio? You are welcome to come and visit me :) Don't forget to bring chocolat.

have you, perchance, been down my neck of the coast and seen the amazing sandcastle displays on our foreshore? Your beautiful abode would not be out of place :)
hope you're having a lovely mid-week too...

the watercolored earth
seems ancient, almost like elephants
remembering and holding up the palace of hope where only light
and laughing light at that, only good-shining goes in or comes out.
