Reading & Writing

Reading and writing have always been large parts of my life so it seemed to make sense to give them a home of their own on this site. I’ll be sharing my book reviews and snippets of my own creative writing …when I feel brave enough 😉

Really enjoyed Portrait Artist of the Week again this week! 🙂Find I’m looking forward to Sundays now ☺️ Thanks @artistoftheyear for the amazing programme. ... My #mypaotw portrait of @willyoungofficial (who was a very entertaining sitter!) had to be was a quick one because I’m working on a commission and still fighting this virus (😓), so only finding very limited amounts of time where I’m well enough to paint. Obviously, as I’m in bed, this is digital again. As always, though, it’s freehand—no tracing or digital trickery here 😉 . . . #paotw #mypaotw #portrait #digitalart #procreate #procreateart #applepencil #ipadpro #monochrome #colourblindartist #instaartist

Rankin was the sitter for this week’s Portrait Artist of the Week. Coming from a photography background myself, I *really* enjoyed listening to the conversations. As I’m still unwell and wasn’t up for traditional painting (nor did I think it would be a good idea to paint in bed with my white sheets!), I worked on my iPad Pro, in Procreate, with my Apple Pencil. As always though, this is freehand, no tracing or digital trickery 🙂 . . . #mypaotw #paotw #rankin #instaartist #instaart #procreateart #ipadpro #portrait #monochrome #freehand

Suspension⠀ ⠀ I grew up with a pool and near a lake; I don’t remember a time I couldn’t swim. Sometimes when I’m overwhelmed, I still crave that feeling when you’re suspended in water and time and everything is quiet and peaceful. Woke up thinking of that, so decided to draw it 🙂 ⠀ ⠀ #procreate #ipadpro #digitalart #monochrome #drawing #instaart #instaartist #underwaterdrawing #imagination

Thought we could all use a break from the seriousness of the world, so... here’s a mouse in a wooden boot! ☺️⠀ ⠀ (It’s drawn from a lovely carving that belonged to my grandparents. We don’t actually have a mouse in it, though I’m sure that Inari and Ponzu would love that 😉)⠀ ⠀ #mouse #instaartist #instaart #drawing #sketch #graphitedrawing #cute #boot

Sunday morning sketch of Akram Khan for Portrait Artist of the Week — A5, graphite. Loved watching and doing this live (even though I’m not at all used to drawing so quickly)! My husband joined in too, which made it even more fun. Many thanks @artistoftheyear @christabelblackburn and @akramkhancompany ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ PS - hearing the kids in the background made us smile 😊 #art #instaart #instaartist #graphitedrawing #sketch #portraitdrawing #portraitartistoftheyear #mypaotw

Happy Caturday! (Sorry we haven’t posted in awhile.🙀😸😽) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Our little Inari is growing up! She recently had her first birthday! 🥰 ❤️🎉🐾🎁 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #caturday #cat #inarithekitten #whitecat #neko #gato #katze #katzen #猫 #ねこ#deafcat #deafcatsofinstagram

Another Happy Caturday wish to everyone! This is a painting of our crazy little fluffball Inari by our human mum @mikomakesstuff — she painted it on her iPad and we helped! 😸 (She couldn’t have done it without us.) We love helping her do everything! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #catart #catartist #caturday #saturdaycaturday #kitten #painting #digitalpainting #procreate #ねこ #instacat #neko #猫 #chat #gato #katze #katzen #digitalart

Happy Caturday! Here’s a little close up of Inari’s ever-changing eyes! This was taken a couple weeks ago and they’ve changed a lot since then. We *think* they’re almost finished changing now; never seen a kitten’s eyes take so long to settle (she’s 8 months old now!), but have read that Persians do take longer and Inari is a halfie 😉☺️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #kittensofinstagram #inarithecat #inarithekitten #cats #catsofinstagram #instacat #caturday #ねこ #neko #猫 #saturdaycaturday #gato #katze #katzen #chat #catseye #kawaii #cutecat #cutekitten
