With wind, and cloud, and changing skies;"
I believe that Spring, is not too far away!
For a change I thought it would nice to do a painting with colour . I found an old illustration of a clothe's line and decided I wanted to try my water colour pencils. By far , not a very good illustration although I did learn a few things in this exercise, like not applying too much water on the brush and using a tiny brush gave me more control. Will need to do more ; )
************ And of course I couldn't resist to sketch some more pictures for my little story.
Charcoal, which is great but too messy....lol, had to wash my hands and face quite a few times ; )
This one is a pencil sketch of which I'm in the process of recreating in paint on canvas board.
Still missing elements in this one and the one above.
Happy Paint Party Friday and Happy 1st Anniversary .
Thanks Kristin and Eva for creating this wonderful lovely site, enjoying it very much ; )
Please visit all the PPF artists here...... Eva and Kristin

That is a busy week's work and I like your clothes line pic, it looks so spring like... watercolour pencils are frustrating and I love them some days and others they drive me to distraction... sure I just need to spend more time on them, but so glad you are getting on top of them...xx
I love all your works Annabelle, especially the cute little clothesline you are working on! Happy Birthday to you! and also Happy PPF Anniversary! :-)
These are all amazing, Annabelle. I think you sketch quite beautifully. I'm trying to get better at that
Thanks for your lovely comments on my blog. I do love this sweet PPF community.

Love the clothesline sketch! how fun. Soooonnnnn...... also longing for Spring.
The sketches are great. Looking forward to seeing where you take the bottom one especially.
Watercolor pencils are lots of fun, beautiful work!
And thanks for letting me know about my layout displaying oddly. It would seem it's affecting those using Chrome, that my static sidebar doesn't work... I've removed that feature, could you let me know if it works now? Thank you~

Oh Annabelle, what a delightful post! Your clothes on the line along with the colorful flowers painting is gorgeous. I can just feel the wind whipping around. Such an upbeat and spring-like art work.
Lovely sketches Annabelle, love the clothes line, so fresh and springlike!

I love your clothesline watercolor. Coincidentally, I did a clothesline piece this week, too. There's just something so homey and simple about a clothesline> I'll have to post a pic of mine. Happy PPF.

Love that top drawing of the clothes line...whimsical to me. And that big tree is awesome too.
Thanks for coming to my blog today and leaving kind words about my art!
What a wonderful post! Gerber daisies are my absolute favorite!!! I love the clothesline - spring fresh! Your charcoal illustration is great :)
(I love the way charcoal looks, but the way it feels on my fingers drives me batty so I never use it!)

Great movement in the clothing! I can hear the wind blowing them!

Happy PPF..
This is a lovely post...so much here to love!
I'm a happy new Follower! Thank you so much for having me :)
...oh what a dynamic sketch. Love the movings of the clothes. Awesome!!!
Oh, I love the little owl and the tree is great. I love charcoal, too, but always gotta be careful not to have hands and face all black. ;-)
Love the painting with the laundry and the blossoms. So cute!
What a wonderful tree...so full of fantasy and feeling.
The clothesline is great! Happy PPF- on Monday!!! What a great week to start a creative week methinks. Wink.
I adore your clothesline!!!
You have a charming style, fun to see!
I adore those clothes hanging, and that owl has the cutest expression ever!!!
I just love coming to your site. It always makes me teary but inspired, too. I was born in the 40's so can relate to the music and all the old-tyme(?) vignettes.
I LOVE your clothesline!!! It conveys such a feeling of Springtime...soft breezes, fresh air, new blooming life, hope!! Plus your illustrations are beautiful!!
