I LOVE this time of year.... my favourite colours, clothes & smells all inspired me to draw my first 'Happy Thanksgiving' illustrations which is available here & here & comes with 8 autumnal Boo tags.
I've had 2 gorgeous autumnal weekends away... 2 nights in the Lake District with my mum, dad & Swiss auntie, eating, walking & market shopping.
& a LONG over due trip back to Paris with Russ.
I studied there for 3 glorious months when I was at art college & it was fun to check out my old haunts. This is where I lived, I remember sitting on the balcony (that I have circled) one morning drinking my coffee thinking I was the luckiest girl in the world.
Opposite the house is this beautiful park
& this is a painting I did at the time !
I also painted these buildings...
& it was definitely in Paris that my love of drawing children started. I would sit in the parks sketching & painting for hours.
One of the best things about being a student in Paris was I had a pass to get into all the galleries for free, I used to pop in & out of the Louvre, Musee d'Orsay etc daily it was an incredible opportunity, an amazing 3 months.
Russ and I decided we wouldn't mind giving up our life in London & living on this boat on the Seine for a while !!!!!!!
I spy Derwentwater! We were in Keswick a couple of weeks ago, we promised little dear a ride on the boats over the lake, but unfortunately the lake was too high to go out!
ReplyDeleteLove the new 'Autumnal' pictures.

oh how wonderful! I can imagine feeling the luckiest girl in the world if that was me sitting there too! I love that feeling.
ReplyDeleteAnd oh my how lovely it is to see those paintings, they are stunning, and so inspiration... (and maybe making me a fraction jealous!!! painting in the park in paris! how beautiful)
Glad you had a nice time back there :)

ReplyDeleteParis does sound like an inspirational place for an artist.
Two glorious weekends away, how wonderful.
Your autumn print is gorgeous and oh so sweet.
What a treat to see some of your paintings while you were living in Paris.
Love
Elise
I wish I lived in Keswick! My Mum & Dad own a apartment there so we make regular visits. We were up there the wekend of 10th October!

Somehow your new print gives me a "happy feeling". It displays all the good things about fall.
ReplyDeleteL,
Tania
Very nice photos again. And your new fall work is really lovely :-)
ReplyDeleteI'm missing Europe a lot, your photos make me a bit homesick, hehehe
Hope you'll have tomorrow a nice Halloween, boo huh!

ReplyDeletejbxo
oohh! lovely illustration!
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful illustrations - I wish I could draw/paint even half as well as that:). How wonderful to have spent time in Paris too:)
ReplyDeleteIt was nice seeing the pictures of the Lake District too - I used to go to school in Keswick, I used to take it all a bit for granted sometimes, but now when i go back I realise how lucky I was to grow up in such a wonderful place.
Oh wow... What beautiful paintings!! I want to go to Paris again too...
ReplyDelete♥ visit me at www.afiori.com ♥
Oh how wonderful, living in Paris for a while!
ReplyDeleteI love the new Autumnal works, so lovely.
Love Alison x
Autumn and spring are my favourite seasons, it's hard to pick the best of them both.
ReplyDeleteI love the colours and smell of autumn and there's few things more 'homely' than scuffing through crunching autumn leaves looking for chestnuts.
How amazing to have been able to spend time studying in Paris. Wonderful paintings and I'm not surprised you'd like to live on the Seine for a while :)
Beautiful painting. I will be going to Paris for the first time in June and can't wait.
ReplyDeleteYour illustrations of Paris are so nice, it inspires me a lot! This sketchbook looks like it's an absolute beauty! I am french myself but I live in Glasgow doing my final year at art school studying textiles. I am doing my final project about Paris and I love drawing the streets, shops, people...
ReplyDeleteA bientot!

I was in the Lake District a few years back, such a peaceful place :) LOVE your new thanksgiving print and those paintings from Paris are stunning. Hugs, Catherine x
ReplyDeleteThere are so many beautiful moments here, I want to go ooh and ahh over them all :)
ReplyDeleteFirst off, the new illustration is just darling! I love this time of year too, so I have an extra affinity to this print!
Second, you studied in Paris? I love the looks into your artwork during that time. What a glorious period of your life :)
Thirdly, I'm so, so jealous you got to go to the Lake District. That was one of my favorite parts of England when I was there :)
Great illustrations! I love your style.
