A woman holding a map is riding a giant cat, which is crouched, looking towards the horizon. A child sits behind the woman with his arms around her, and an older man walks next to the cat, carrying a lantern. There are trees around them in varying shades of pink and purple.
An angled picture to show the sparkling paint, particularly on the light coming from the older man's lantern.
Another angled picture to show the sparkling paint.
Put your hand up if you don't like giant cats and families of adventurers, with sparkles. That's right, you can't, you're too busy patting the giant cat.
Oh these look beautiful! Can't wait to see them fired! 😍
Qrp with your watery art 🌊
Ok so… There’s a nice little park on a corner, and a path running directly to one edge of the park. That’s the first image, but there’s 12 other images here. In the second image, there is now a desire path running diagonally across the park. Next image, the path has been blocked by a park bench that the council has put in as a deterrent. Unfazed, in image 4 the path now deftly avoids the park bench. In images 5 and 6 the process is repeated, this time with a strategically placed bin which the desire path also avoids. Presumably in a fit of rage, the council plants an entire hedge to stop people creating new desire paths but eventually this too is defeated and a new path find a way. Finally, the council admits defeat and turns the desire path into a proper paved pathway. After a little while, a new desire path curving off this new paved pathway begins to emerge…
A little comic about desire paths.

A boy in a winter landscape, wants to believe, is given a bell from Santa’s sleigh so the magic of Christmas may continue in his mind.
Merry Christmas and Happy Winter Holidays to everyone.
May your days be warm and filled with the magic you believe in.
It does seem like a shame! Especially faceless - wow! Thanks for reading the blog post 😊
As a feminist author and illustrator who loves painting diverse heroines and heroes, I couldn't agree more haha 😍😁
I will definitely look up Nicole Clavloux, I hadn't come across her before! And I also didn't know Story of a Mother - just looked it up, some consistent HCA themes there by the look of it!
Well that is strikingly terrifying! Wow!
The way this piece grabs me every time I see it...!
Yes! I love her fairy tales - very dark, but very moving. She was writing them even earlier than that - one of the books she's best known for (The Bloody Chamber) came out in the 70s.
Do you have a favourite fairy tale?
Yes I do love the little interesting patterns etc that come from not being able to control it all! I use Winsor and Newton too, although I also have some beautiful Daniel Smith paints (moonglow is especially favourite, used partially in the wolf here) and Lisilinka sparkly paints.
This painting has been embellished with some beautiful sparkly Lisilinka watercolours I've been playing with lately ✨
