My little mermaid with some friends... This was just a snapshot from an aquarium outing, but I liked how it turned out. : )

A second colour version of my recent folk art doodle, hand drawn with felt tip markers and finished in photoshop.

A second portrait of my daughter, Grace. Yesterday, her hair was super loooong. Today she cut most of it off and posted it to CANSA (the South African Cancer Association) as a donation to be made into a wig for someone. She is feeling a little light-headed! : ) Photo 47 in my 52 week photo challenge.

Walked a little deeper into the forest ...

Playing with colors and textures. : )

This is a drawing that Tane (8) did for me, and that I coloured by hand and in photoshop. They are (from left to right) Tane, Grace, Perrin and Mila, my lovely daughters. Grace has asked for this as a T. ( :

Pretty pastels. : )

Oil on canvas - 60 x 80 cm This is the only other painting I did in December - a very non-serious exploration of colour and shape - for the sheer joy of working with oil paint again after all this time. : )

A bright, colorful, boho spring time pattern in soft pastels, black and white.

A cute photo of a spider. it has green fangs and lots of fuzz.

There is wisteria growing in great profusion at the back of my garden behind some outbuildings... for some reason I have never photographed it. Out of sight, out of mind, I guess. But it is so lovely right now! This is my 34th pic for my 52 week challenge.

Baby tangle. I drew the original illustration by hand with pencil and then colored and finished it digitally.

I keep making these patterns, it seems I'm a little obsessed. I tell myself I'm honing my craft. Lol. ; ) This is one of two color versions.

A pattern created from illustrations of apples, pears and leaves, hand drawn with colored pencil crayons.

A detailed and delicate pattern in palest sage / mint / jade green and soft cream.

This pattern in shades of blue, jade & mint green, pink & purple was inspired by a beautiful pair of Art Deco earrings that I saw recently.

Back to messing around with hexagons & geometry. This pattern / artwork is full of imperfections & irregularities that counter the mathematical structure it is based on.

Created from a hand drawn, pen and ink doodled mandala / ogee shape.

Thanks again to my lovely sister-in-law for the roses! : )

A pattern of nature-inspired chalk doodles.

An abstract pattern, reminiscent of seeds / feathers / leaves / flowers in soft pastel colours on grey.

A little maximalist color and pattern overdose. (I'm an addict. I spent two days working in just black and white, this is what happens after...),

A little fox with a lot of balloons. : )

Dinah loves her mommy! : ) Actually, I think Dinah was about to bite her mommy's ear and was momentarily (marvellously) distracted... Capturing this moment kind of made my day.
