Ah! Here we are again at Monday! This is a drawing I completed on the weekend. Something a little different for me because a) it has background and b) the young lovely thing is wearing a patterned dress. Usually my gals wear dresses that are solid colour. So, I had an explore drawing wise! You can find her in my shop as a small print here!
Hope everyone is rested and relaxed and refreshed after the weekend! Although, I think some folk are enjoying a long weekend, no?




























Sam! she is beautiful, i love her dress, the background detail and you have captured her face perfectly! she reminds me of someone but at the moment i can't place her... hmmm!?
i must say i'm a wee bit crispy after this weekend, got caught out with the changeable scottish summer weather ~ cold and cloudy when we first left for our dog walk, then as hot as the sahara by the time we had finished! thankfully Spanner is fine, no sunburnt noses in sight... :)

Background and pattern: that was a risk worth taking!
She is beautiful! What's her name?
I'm so inspired by all your other 'customers' and their walls filled with different art. I'm dreaming of starting my own little collection!

she's lovely Sam! I saw her in your shop yesterday and thought she was lovely then too... I like the background and the expression on her face. Very solemn and bright at the same time.

This little lady is beautiful Sam! And what divine hair she has! I wish I could pull off a swanky hairstyle like that! Your exploring was a big success!
