Des parapluies

"Umbrellas" was Inspire me Thursday's theme of the week some times ago. It was raining yesterday and I was stuck at home with my sniffling and coughing daughter, so this came out : ). I like umbrellas, they're lovely objects!



I really made four little squares (10 x 10 cm) and played with flickr toys afterwards.

Hétéroclite

I've been drawing a lot, just when I thought I had no motivation for it... I think the comments helped, (thank you very much!). Then, very often, just at the moment I say something, or write it down, I begin to do exactly the contrary. Last time, I told a friend I'd never cut my hair short again... And less than a week later I had it cut shorter than ever...

Little fantasy, about things I find nice, places I'd love to visit...

I can't wait for the weather to warm up so I'll be able to take those diving lessons I promised myself. Always been scared of the water, and now I can't seem to stop drawing fish and ocean related things.

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.
