Late night doodles

So last night I grabbed a pencil and started to draw a picture I had my eye on painting for a while.  I took the picture of the teapot, jug and cup when Jim and I were in a tea room in the lovely St Ives and last night I decided to get it down on paper ready for some paint.

Then I saw my sketchbook, opened it and found half a doodle I started some time ago.  It was just three houses and that was it.  And before I knew it I had drawn lots of lines, opened up my paintbox and started applying paint.  It was late when I took these pictures so the light isn't good, but I want to post them more as a reminder to me that when I am being creative I really am at my happiest.

And right now I am itching to carry on......

Happy Thursday to you all.

Doodling

Sometimes it's good to doodle and let your pen wander as your mind does the same.  I wonder what an analyst would make of my fish, swimming with a heart he caught.  Who knows.....

Hope everyone is well.  I will post up a picture of the finished Octanuts banner soon.....I completed it in time and Ollie loved it and the rain stayed away for the party which was the main thing.

Sorry it's a brief post but I have to dash.  I aim to blog more again now that a few things have settled down, so watch this space.

Have a great Thursday xxx
