coffee time!

Lovely lines Louise and great palette, your pen work in super in these little sketches

Super work Louise! Love the dark background.

Thank you Ros and Satu for your encouraging comments. I don't really feel that I'm winning though with this arrangement...!

You've got me at it now - loose pen and wash and it is good fun I have to admit. A bit of a relax from 'proper' painting. I love all your little glimpses of you daily life around you house. I am still waiting for the one of your husband ironing (and I want to see him with a pinny on as well, lol!) This sketch is great.

Great - I love all the run backs on the brown board - so painterly. The kettle is great too - a super sketch.

Many thanks Thea. No chance, he doesn't do ironing. LOL

Liked this one so much you got two comments!! Aren't you the privileged one, lol!

Actually, now three comments - I'll stop now.

Thanks Thea x 4 !

Nice and loose Louise, has a cartoonish quality about it (I mean that in a positive way).

Such a delightful piece, Louise - the merging of the washes is superb.

Great sketch - but next the husband! lol

After a virtual tour of Manchester we now have a virtual tour of your house :) Of the two coffee ones I prefer this one too. Thea described it perfectly as "painterly".

Thank you Stephen, Seok , Debs and Val. Definitely no husband Debs and I prefer this one as well Val. The spontaneity has been lost on the second one as often happens when I try too hard!

Love the energy in this, love the subject too :)

Thanks Lesley!
