2 livres, une locomotive, une jolie nana et 2 tourterelles

New reads! Loved both books, one a great thriller, the kind you don't let go easily! Read it on the beach mostly, it was nice : )! The other one took some time because it was so rich, a wonderful book about love and reading, and solitude, and books, et caetera... Loved it. I'm sure it's translated in English too. The author is Italian, and the story takes place in Milano, New York, and Belle Ile in France.







Did these two cards for my parents, they liked them!

Quatre bateaux, un poisson et une méduse

These are the four first cards I did for the card swap (not in that exact order - the first one is actually the fourth...). I've been wanting to draw the boats parts I had photographed last month, and I thought the card size would fit well.


This blue one is a "Pointu". That's an old kind of small fishing boat that has become an object of collection. You can usually see one or several of them in the South of France's harbours. There are associations and clubs of Pointu lovers, not all of whom are French!

The last two are fishing boats. There are still of few of them in Cavalaire, where I live. (that's between Toulon and Nice, on the Côte d'Azur). They sell fresh fish in the morning, mostly to the many restaurants we have here.

I think that the fish drawn on the boat is a scorpion fish. We call it "rascasse". The jelly fish we call "méduse". We've had lot of them each summer the last few years.

pour la fête des pères

J'ai fait ça pour la fête des pères. ça leur a plu, ils étaient très contents, donc moi aussi!

c'était difficile. Il y a plein de défauts, mais comme je ne pensais pas du tout être capable de dessiner des personnes de façon réaliste, c'est déjà pas mal, je suis plutôt contente, finalement.
