"If I keep a green bough in my heart, the singing bird will come". Chinese proverb
This week the Illustration Friday prompt is 'Proverb'. Been a bit busy lately so rooted through the archives and found something I made for a postcard exchange a few months back. I created this with watercolour, ink and collaged papers. If you're interested, you can view the postcards I made here.
love the collage work. this is neat
ReplyDeleteI really like this piece...and the proverb too.
ReplyDeletecaroline, this is a quote a friend of mine always includes in her emails. it's my version of the sun always rises.

Oh, Caroline! I'm in a daze from going over all your works from the summer. True artistic beauty in everything you create! Yes, even the donkey (which I could NOT see anything wrong with, by the way! He was great!) I wanted to eat the desserts and the cookies. And the paper pear! OMG! I love, love, love that!
ReplyDeleteI also enjoyed relaxing in your beautiful garden with your regal kitties. The flowers are gorgeous. And how exciting and entertaining it must be to have monkey visitors!
So good to see you again!
Caroline, you are just so talented. Love the layering on this one.
ReplyDeleteCaroline, your work is gorgeous!! This is so beautiful, and I can so relate to your "resolved" mouse! ;)
ReplyDeleteOh, Caroline, I just love this! The colors are fabulous and I love the whole feeling of this piece. I hope you are doing well, dear friend!! Love, Silke
ReplyDeleteThis quote is so good. One I have heard before but I always like to hear it. Nice postcard. I will pop over to see others.
ReplyDeleteHello Caroline! Bella is right. Your creations and output are dizzying! I especially love the watercolors. You are the best.
ReplyDeleteI love the composition and the cool textures here.
ReplyDeleteOf course also loving the sweet melody flowing by! Very sweet and thought and it's specially for ces right?
Hi Caroline. Love all the IF illustrations, even the poor derided donkey one. It looks wonderful to me. I think you are too critical of yourself. You are so talented with watercolour which is something I find really tricky. I stopped by for a peek at the postcards and the cat smelling the roses is just gorgeous. Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous Caroline! I really love the chinese proverb too! xx
ReplyDeletemmmm! so very lovely! :)
ReplyDeleteThis is SO lovely!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comments on my blog. They're made me feel I'm not completely alone in the cyber-world.
Beautiful, love the colours!
