This week's subject was flowers, I chose to paint just the one lily and a few leaves.

Today I went outside taking photographs and I noticed the same colour theme outside, these are my rescue hens.



Red

Greeting card

Mixed Media

 

I'm doing an "Illustration for Books" course and this is my homework this week.

I've done some other stuff on the course and it's all very experimental and sketchy.

 

This card was on the theme of "red", though not Valentine. 

There is a little red metal bus and lots of cacti in my kitchen, so that is what I did.  

Straight in, minimal planning and I like the immediacy of it.

 

The person who receives this will have to write about the image.  What would you write?

Heralding Christ's birth

Heraldry

Pen on A3 paper

 

This started as a little sketch to design a greeting card for Christmas. 

I found more designs I liked and ended up filling up the entire page! 

I used the Seraphim image for a lino printed card together with the words the angels sang when heralding Christ's birth "Glory to God in the highest and on earth peace, goodwill toward men".

 

Before Christmas I went to the PreRaphelite Exhibition at Tate Britain and was struck by the red Seraphim on the wall tapestry.  Have you ever noticed the pink Seraphim painted on the Octagon ceiling in Ely Cathedral?
