Drawing Away

 Hello Yoyo, colored pencils on paper, 5x7 inches

Sleep Tight My Bear, colored pencils on paper, 6x8 inches

 Fly Home Birdie, colored pencils on paper, 6x8 inches


Hello lovelies! Is December flowing smoothly for you? As you can see, I've gotten carried away making these mini drawings with my pencils... It's so meditative, especially because I can start one in the morning and have it done after sundown. Somehow I feel happier knowing that I've accomplished something for the day. I don't know if you've noticed, but I'm also enjoying these simple childish theme...everything is just uncomplicated and straightforward, unlike life in general. Wouldn't you agree? :)

And on an even much happier note...guess what the postman brought me the other day!


...Yes, yes, Oona is here!! If you remember, I won a giveaway from Jess Quinn not long ago and I'm so excited now that it's finally here. Thanks again, Jess, for this wonderful gift. She will be treasured always.

Okay, back to my drawings... a lovely December to you all!

Amalia, oxx

  9. I like the birdhouse one. Love birds, I even have a parrot. I made him a birdhouse fort which he loves, but he's chewing it up.

    What is that YOYO maneuver she's attempting?
    'Walk the dog'? 'Aound the world'? 'Skin the Gerbil'?

  14. Amalia you're so right about the meditative quality of these pictures compared to real life and all the 'mess' that comes with it! They're so beautiful, I love the way you make each one into such a pleasing composition, very calming. Thanks for sharing them here, you are an inspiration. Have a lovely December, you're certainly making mine a happy one with these gorgeous pictures!
