Stop for a moment...or three

When I got to escape during the summer with my very best friend Dervilla across Eastern Europe, I tried my hardest to take time out and doodle or sketch about the things I was experiencing and seeing. It's so important to remember to really 'see' and absorb whats happening in the present. To take it in. That's how you make really solid memories after all. We spend so much time worrying about whats ahead that we forget to witness how wonderful now is...
Now, that's me just feeling very nostalgic...:)

Lived In - Reconnecting with colour

After I finished college - where previously I indulged in drawing and ignored colour where possible, trying to focus solely on line making - I grabbed my watercolours and started reconnecting with colour. It was as if I felt I wasn't being watch and I could make all the mistakes I wanted. A bit backwards I know...
