The world looked like this when I woke up this morning. Crisp & white
Take care if you’re out in it.

Probably a bit early to post this one but I don’t care.
How about kicking off November with a bit of #Christmas magic

Midnight Magic

#artistscommunity #digitalart #arctic #moon #santa #christmas #fantasyart #xmas #fantasy #winterwonderland #magic
It’s Christmas Eve at the North Pole. Against a backdrop of Christmas trees and a giant full moon, Santa sets off to deliver gifts. The whole picture is made up of different effects and photos, plus a few old stickers I found in my files. I coloured the picture in different shades of green and blue. If you look closely, you can see the powder blue of the snow as it reflects the night sky. Picture (c) Lynnie 2016

Had to do this one digitally cos I ran out of paper 😞

Anywayyy….

To be honest I think we all deserve these just for getting through this month.
I’m not complaining though. It’s been a great #inktober
I’ve really enjoyed it 😃

Huge thanks to the #bbc for being the inspiration for this one. Reason why (plus the reason I’m using the hashtag #playschool ) in Alt

Through The Window

A drawing of a castle window with an eye looking out of it. An ornate leaf design sits just above the outside of the window. Leaf patterns have been etched into the window sill. The title for this one (Through The Window) was inspired by the UK version of Play School, a kids’ TV show that ran from 1964-1988 The “outside world” segment of each episode where the presenters would say “Through the windows today….” Soooooo…. a huge thank you to the BBC for being the inspiration for this one.
