The neighbours’ little girl was showing off her halloween costume today… (At a distance of course). Her beautiful red hair makes her look right at home in the autumn forest. 

It’s not easy for the little ones in these times. She won’t be trick or treating this year to stay safe from Covid.

But maybe we will have to invent a new Halloween tradition! Perhaps a good witch who leaves little packages of sweets in the doorways for the children before she disappears into the night.

Let’s start a reverse trick or treat treat tradition. #reversetrickortreat

6 - Where are the Trees?

Something for the spooky season… ?

Have you ever been afraid of that strange sound in the night…

That ‘boohoooo’…

Could it be a ghost!?

G…g…GHOSTS!!! ?

Pip and Peter certainly think so…!

This is a spread from my children’s picturebook ‘Where are the Trees?’ ???️

Good evening! ?

This is a character from a children’s book I’m working on at the moment. She reminds me of one of our rescue donkeys that we call ‘Pluis’.

But she doesn’t have an official name yet. Any suggestions? ?

Just getting some autumn inspiration today and doing a little colour study. ??️

I love this time of year. Beautiful colours are slowly starting to appear in hedges and I’m cosy, sitting at my drawing table watching the rain. ??️☕??

The change of season always offers new ideas and inspiration. ?

?Getting that Autumn feeling ?

Back inside painting… Work started on a nature inspired calender.

Slowly seeing the fruits from the summer flowers appear, food for the birds as the weather starts getting colder. ?❄️

I’m growing closer to my surroundings each day. Seeing things in nature I never noticed before. ????

Is anyone else becoming more home focused since the beginning of the epidemic? ?
