I am having my usual Saturday potter around the house drawing relax day today. So far I have drawn this pretty thing you see before you. I'm very pleased especially with the colours. I adore green and this is a new pastel colour I purchased a few weeks ago and it's called "Terre Verte" which I guess is French for Green Earth. Anyway, I love it and I love it with the cherry pink of her cheeks and the delicate inside of the shell. These green turban shells are quite common here on the beaches of Sydney - perhaps they are not exactly the same but they are pretty similar. I used to collect them when I was little when I went for walks with my Dad along the seashores near our house.
So, this lovely serene creature and her home are now available in my shop as a large 8" X 12" or A4 print ! Hurrah!
Hope everyone is having a lovely relaxing Saturday too!
I think she is one of your best creations. Gorgeous. Green has always been my favorite colour!

This is lovely...I particularly like her connection to the shell and the complementary colors...
