Lily Pads

I have not done any watercolour painting since I left school.....BUT it was something I enjoyed and I am hoping to use art as a way of escaping/distracting me from the hell that goes on in my head on a daily basis........ So here is the inital picture I drew

The Finished Piece

I am quite pleased with myself and actually feel quite good right at this minute :)

Magic Eyes

My inspiration for this picture has been taken from my daughter Alisha. She believes that her mummy has magic eyes because when she looks in my eyes she can see her reflection in my pupils.
I initially drew the eye as you can see:

I then scanned it and super imposed a black and white photo of Alisha onto in.

Fairy with Wings

This again was done with my imagination, and I am wondering whether I might write a short story with illustrations about fairies for my little girl. She enjoys looking at the 2 fairy pictures I have drawn so far so it would be a nice little suprise if I could make her a little book.....I just have to try and write a Magical Fairy Story....that will be a challange on its own for me

Fairy

This is the first time, I have really used Crayons to try and create shadow. I have a book on how to draw fairies which I used for the basic shape and then my imagination did the rest.
