Off to do some foraging this afternoon with my youngest as part of our daily exercise, loads of wild garlic down by the local river so going to make some wild garlic and cheese scones using a @nationaltrust recipe, delicious! #theydrawandcook #theydrawandgarden #nationaltrust #nationaltrustforscotland #wildgarlic #foraging #forage #baking #sconesrecipe #botanicalillustration #botanical #homeschoollife #homeschool #creativelife #home #homebaking #illustration #ink #inkdrawing #blackandwhite #penandink #eastlothianlife #eastlothian #countryliving #countrysidelife

A bit different for me doing more abstract work but just thought about it like a big blobby pattern! #makeartthatsells #makeartthatsellsbootcamp #matsbootcamp #matsbootcamp2020 #makeartthatsellsbootcamp2020 #marchmeetthemaker #marchmeetthemaker2020 #meetthemaker #meetthemaker2020 #surfacedesign #surfacepatterndesign #surfacepattern #pattern #abstract #blobby #abstractart #creative #creativity #creativeprocess #process

Work-in-progress - working on an abstract art assignment for #makeartthatsells I was thinking my original paintings were a bit too messy and scribbly and I wanted to make something more decorative or that could become a pattern. So instead started painting lots of different shapes and blobs and doodles and have scanned them to PS. Currently just playing and noodling about with composition 👍👍👍#marchmeetthemaker #meetthemaker #wip #creativeprocess #process #meetthemaker2020 #marchmeetthemaker2020 #matsbootcamp #creativity #play #abstract #matsbootcamp2020 #makeartthatsellsbootcamp #photoshop #photoshopart #composition #blobby

Posted @withregram • @moononthehillshop I’ve been looking at this card by my lovely @catherine_chalmers for the last couple of days! How unbelievably appropriate these words are now! #staysafe #bekind #washyourhands #bethoughtfulofothers #wellness #wellbeing #safeharbour #safeharbor

Going all messy and abstract for #makeartthatsells assignment - enjoyed the scribbles and chucking the paint around, defo therapeutic in these unsettling times 🖌🎨💛 #abstract #messy #paint #makeartthatsellsbootcamp #makeartthatsellsbootcamp2020 #matsbootcamp #matsbootcamp2020 #abstractart #abstractpainting #therapeutic #arttherapy #therapy #wellbeing #selfcare #wellness

It’s feeling a strange and deeply unsettling time - so to help my fizzing anxiety, been trying to plan ahead. And a positive project would be attending to our neglected and chaotic garden if/ when the schools shut down. Going to try growing stuff from seed for the first time which will be very interesting as I have a not undeserved bad rep as being a plant murderer 🌱😳 #meetthemaker #marchmeetthemaker #meetthemaker2020 #marchmeetthemaker2020 #makeartthatsells #garden #gardening #ink #inkdrawing #selfcare #help #growyourown #familytime

I’m doing a bit of catchup for #marchmeetthemaker so in thinking about #selfcare I immediately thought of my favourite three things: #family #holidays and the #seaside So this is from a trip to Lismore a beautiful small island on the west coast of Scotland a few summers back. This is our wee guy pottering about in his wellies and looking for beasties in the water which is how we spend our days when we are away and is the best medicine for the soul ever 💛 Hoping we can get away this summer 😬🤞🤞🤞#marchmeetthemaker2020 #meetthemaker #meetthemaker2020 #islandlife #seashore #pottering #slowliving #sea #scotland #scottishislands #scottishscenery #summer #summerholidays #summerinscotland

Trying to draw fishy things at the kitchen table with the kids drawing, squabbling, playing, eating and laughing around me - just a bit distracting! #meetthemaker #marchmeetthemaker #marchmeetthemaker2020 #meetthemaker2020 #fish #trout #penandink #penandinkdrawing #wip #sketchbook #scallops #sealife #seafood #abitdistracted #creativelife #creative #creativelifehappylife #creativelifestyle #familylife
