Cricketts Inky Art Blot

Baby ducklings are back on the pond, so cute with their "peep, peep, peep'. "The Honkers" were guarding their new baby goslings. They scrounged some bread then hissed at me repeatedly, just incase I got the wrong idea and thought that I really could reach out and give them a cuddle. New iris flowers have opened and this colouration was a complete surprise. It inspired me to digitally paint the flamboyant flower at the studio today. "Flamboyant Iris"

    I am still thinking about those Chihuly colours and shapes and sea kelp trees swaying with the motion of the tide.   Jellyfish have tremendous beauty and grace, that entices the viewer ever closer. Like mythical mermaids, these mesmerizing beauties have their dark side and can burn, sting and can even bring death.
