Happy New Year to you all! Here's my offering for this week's Illustration Friday. The theme is Renewal. It's probably quite appropriate as I'm sure many of us will be thinking about getting into shape again after the holiday season's indulgences! I thought a little spa and yoga therapy to renew the body and mind would be a good place to start! This year I WILL lose weight - there, I've made it public, so it has to be done!
There's no getting away from it now Caroline! Lovely illustration again - Happy New Year.
ReplyDeleteHi Caroline, This is a beautiful effect...she looks so happy and relaxed :)
ReplyDeleteHappy new year! Love Cally xx
Very nice work Caroline. I'm feeling relaxed just looking at it. Nice tone and composition. Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteHi Caroline. Nice to be back blog visiting again. Love the artwork. What a great theme for the New Year. Definitely seriously dieting now. I have a new all singing, all dancing step counter and a new rucksack.
ReplyDeleteOh BEAUTY! Your art work is so fabulous! LOVE love love!

Hey... did you peek at my journal list for resolutions ... hee hee!!!
ReplyDeleteLove this Caroline!
Good Luck with that! It never seems to work for me, although I consistantly exercize and try to watch my intake. Maybe you will have better luck.
ReplyDeleteI love your painting, however. It looks very inspiring.
I will be thinking these very thoughts. Great illio.
ReplyDeleteOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM.
ReplyDeleteI love this, especially the soft swirling circles!
I'm right there with you my friend. I wonder how many months in I'll get before I fall apart.
Somehow I think this is the year for me. (Not that I haven't said that before!)
Happy New Year. I hope you had a wonderful time with your daughter!
Hello Caroline,
ReplyDeleteSorry to be late here. Love the theme for this week and I totally agree with your says.
At the mean time, you lose weight, i gain weight yeah, i also make it public here.
When I am less busy, we can meet up to discuss about illustrations.
I will bring a few great books along. We can go to some art exhibitions together.
See you soon Caroline. Have a great weekend ahead!
Poof I have just taken 7 pounds off of you, so now you are free to have the best year ever.
ReplyDeleteLove Renee xoox
circles? air? streams of water?
ReplyDeletei love how you've composed this, caroline (if composed is the right word). makes me want to meditate right now. which is better than eating anything in sight.
sometimes i think we should all lose weight together and do something creative with or from or about all the pounds we've shed. because the shedding isn't really just about weight....
i am now an official waiter and watcher of your blog, excited to know what you will do next.
have fun ♥
