Touch one pic below to enlarge the three of them. I prefer to draw and paint with my finger on the screen, rather than use a stylus, or iPad pencil. Have a great weekend!

Watercolour on Paper: a Haiku – Haiga, from My “Poems from Home” Collection
There's a lot of chattering of pots and pans, every time I go to my saucepan drawers. Sometimes it's like all out war!

Some Recent Sketches – Drawn on My iPad, in the “Art Set Pro” app

It was a favourite subject matter of mine years ago. This is the completed drawing above, with drawings of the various processes further along. So I went searching around for... Continue Reading →
Mother and Baby Moments – iPad Art, Works on Paper, and on Canvas
Over the years, I've drawn and painted many mother and baby images; some from photos of me with one of our four sons; others, like the faces I draw, are a mix of memory and imagination. They are usually motherhood moments of those special times, of hugs and baby smiles. Also, being a mum -... Continue Reading →
