Created using both Illustrator and Photoshop, bought resources and my own illustrations and photography. 

I can never decide if I like the woods better or the sea, so here's a mix of both in on of my favourite colour combos. :D And, don't forget the cool raven. :D 

More to come... So watch this space.

So it's been a while. I had this nasty cold that was going round and it took a bit of time to shake it off and catch up with everything. However, I am back and here are some ranunculus I bought at the weekend. Aren't they pretty? Photographed in natural light and edited in Lightroom and Photoshop - mostly colour adjustments to make them look as bright as they look on my table. :D

Can you tell, I am missing Spring... and winter hasn't even properly started yet... :(

I love deer. There's just something about them. :D

Enjoy.

A for Autumn

I went out in the lovely autumn sunshine and took some pictures of the remaining foliage. I generally don't like autumn much because it means summer is at an end and winter is just around the corner, but I love days like yesterday. 

If you look carefully at the picture you see what I spotted when I took the picture... hence the name. :D

Edited with textures and colour adjustments.

Another a digital collage of images from various (vintage) resources, including some I bought, some which are in the public domain and some from The Graphics Fairy, Vintage Printable and Karen's Whimsy. I added my own flair and and imagination and a little magic to make this.

I didn't realise quite how long it's been since my last post. This image was started 2 weeks ago, but a party, a hangover, Christmas and a cold later.... here I am with the finished result:

It all started with the cute skeleton deer. I just wanted to make something with this. It reminded me of winter and the bare winter branches and how spring mostly starts with rain and that's how it came about. I can't wait for spring. :-) I doubt it will rain fish, but there will be wind and new leaves and lovely cloud shapes in the skies.

Early Autumn Glory (Diptych)

I went to the woods yesterday and, no, I didn't find any teddybears having a picnic, but I found this, the most glorious golden light shimmering through the trees. I love the colours in the autumn and the wonderful light, even though it always reminds me that winter is coming and that summer is over. :-( 

I love the woods and the serenity that can be found in the wind making the leaves rustle and the smells wafting from the ground with each step you take and the light that shines through the trees like some benevolent spirit. :-) Sorry. I get carried away sometimes.

My own images plus bought resources.
