| Doodle-Town Map - Jez |
'Welcome to Doodle-Town' is my entry for the
Mix it Monthly challenge to create a map and use pinks and browns. Wherever you go in Doodle-Town there is a great deal of variety - in fact it can get a bit too much variety if you are driving around looking for a particular address because there are no signposts. The best thing about Doodle-Town is that all roads lead out of town and away to something more like civilisation.
And now three digital paintings, which I created for the 'Away from Home' theme at
Paper, Paint, Pencils & Pens . I wanted to illustrate some of the holidays I would love to have taken but never got around to, and here are my imaginary holiday destinations. All three were painted with the 'Brushes' App on my I-Pad.

I love Japanese Gardens, and this little corner of the large garden of the old house we'd spend a month or so in would be where I would come to sit and enjoy the silence and serene atmosphere.

Then there was the holiday we fancied in a lighthouse on a cliff, but that was in the days when we would have enjoyed climbing half a dozen or more flights of steps to see the view. Good job it's got a television aerial and broadband.

And a real castle on its own little island, with a gentle slope on the other side behind the castle with a helicopter pad and beautiful gardens leading down to the beach. At the moment we are out for a ride in the power-boat that is included in the deal.
If you want to come and spend a little time with us in one of those lovely imaginary places, I'm sure we'd find room for you.
Linking with
Mix It Monthly,
smashing digital paintings Jez and really love your Doodle town map for MIM. Annette x

ReplyDeleteI enjoyed all of your art, but the one that really made me feel all zen was your Japanese garden. Its monochromatic colours and simplicity of strokes created an ultimate place to relax and think! Thanks for sharing!
