July Art Thread

Here’s a quickish pen and ink sketch of where I live.
Loving having a dip pen again - and as this is only the 2nd sketch I’ve done since taking up my art again (Nov 2020), I’m pretty pleased. Advantage of being older, I create to please me… It’s so freeing!

Love your sketch @Bythecrookofmyhook and your ink work @Thursdaychildcards.
A new one from me, a small landscape inspired by a spring afternoon walk near my home.

This is another canvas I’ve tried. It’s an abstract, with the name “Is there light at the end of the tunnel?”

I’ve used a mix of brushes and palette knives to represent the struggles we’ve all been through between March 2020 and March this year (which is when I’ve painted it).

It’s a dark canvas because the twelve months I have represented have been hard for everyone. The darker spots, made with a palette knife to give a “scratched” and painful effect, are the three major lockdowns we’ve been through while the slightly lighter spots are the periods where things seemed to go better. The lightest and brightest spot is the light at the end of the tunnel, the one we were (and I think, still are) so desperate to see.


It’s not on sale in the shop, but if anyone is interested, I’m happy to give more details and sell it.
