Sunday Sketches

Here's a little folk style art flowers. Just random doodling and then added some colour using watercolour pencils.
I've had watercolour pencils for years but never really used them until recently...but they are quite fun to use.

Off to another children's party today so not much time to paint.

Right, I'm heading over to Sophia's blog to check out the other Sunday Sketches before I head out.....it's well worth a look to see everyone's sketches.

How lovely...

It's hot.....

The flowers are out...

The birds are singing.....

People are going crazy in the heat

Courtyards are perfect for summer lunches...

And the creativity is in abundance. Long may the sun shine :o)

Blessed....

Yesterday I felt overwhelmed....today I feel blessed. What a difference a day makes (and plenty of sleep).

I still have a tonne of things to do in the next two weeks before I head to Grand Bahama (yup - now can you see why I feel blessed)....the first proper beach holiday in my entire 38 and a half years of life!

I can't wait to see a blue sky, feel the sun on my skin, take photographs, fill my moleskin sketchbook up, read some great books and most importantly of all, relax with Jim. Just some us time.

And to give me a little taster, the sun poked out from behind the houses this morning to wish me a great day.

I hope your's is great too!
