Illustration Friday: adrift



Do you catch my drift? My submission for Illustration Friday's "adrift" theme is a colour pencil study on StoneHenge paper and the frame is clay and resin. Eventually this boat will drift and be adrift...

Menuda preciosidad, si hasta tiene una góndola, divina. Espero que tu mami esté mejor. Besos para las dos.

i caught your drift on the "adrift" and that the boat will drift and be adrift.

Now I see you're not only a talented artist, but a talented Poetrist as well.

(izzat a word .. Poetrist?) hope so!

I caught your drift Val! :o) This piece is so lovely on it's own, but wow, as a framed work it is simply breath taking! You are amazing!

oh makes me miss Coronado. Oddly enough they had a gondola that toured through the Cays.

I did indeed catch your drift! I love these gorgeous colors and how your eye travels right up that red pathway to your charming house - guess they'll have to find another way back after the boat drifts off! I recently started working with Rising Stonehenge with my colored pencils and I really like it. Cheers! Susan

I like the lazy look of this illustration. I'm sure the boat will drift away... but not this warm Italian night. Very nice Valerie!

Dot said...

Your house seems to be yawning giving a dreamy sensibility to the work. You do have a way with coloured pencils!
I would like to step into that boat because it is inviting and it feels safe.
