Corvids

 I've always been fond of birds of all kinds, but particularly enjoy watching and drawing Corvids!

Over the years I've created lots of artwork, Pyrography pieces and pendants featuring Ravens and Crows - here are just a few..

Pen and Ink Drawing 'Guardian of the Reef'

 Having lived beside the sea for nearly two years now, my imagination has recently turned towards the ocean in all it's wondrous complexity, diversity and mythologies.

  It was merely a matter of time before a sea themed drawing arose..and here is my first piece of artwork featuring sea creatures and a Mermaid!

  I used my usual watercolour paper and Rotring Isograph pen  for this one, and have named it 'Guardian of the Reef' as I wished to convey something of a relationship between Mermaid and the creatures of the reef where she dwells. I like to think of her as taking on a caring role here...

Recent Pen and Ink Drawings

Over recent months my time has been split between Pyrography work - mainly making jewellery and Keepsakes for sale in my Etsy shop 'houseofthegreenlady', and Pen and Ink drawing.
  Some of these designs I have printed for use as Greetings Cards and gift tags, and some are offered for sale as small prints, occasionally I offer originals for sale.

'ORCA'

'Wanderers'

Pen and Ink Drawing 'Place of Grace'

I'm back to my old stand-by, pen and ink work!
    Fond though I am of bright colours, I sometimes feel that the use of colour in my drawings can add unnecessary complications. Using only black and white does present a welcome challenge to the design and also results in a very traditional looking drawing or illustration well suited to my favourite subject matter.
   I very much enjoyed working on 'Place of Grace' and was quite pleased with the finished drawing.
