It is still summer but you can feel autumn in the air: the nights and mornings are getting cooler, the air smells different, the sunlight has taken an even warmer yellow tone…

The many colours of sunlight

This is my first participation at Illustration Friday!
This week’s topic is Tall.
Some people feel a bit uneasy being very tall; this moose might be one of them. Or he finds that his coat resemble long johns?

The photos above are in continuity with my sister’s Not in the woods series on Instagram. She started taking pictures of her shoes at work, someone else followed her lead and then invited me to contribute. My sister had to tell her that I actually live and work “in the woods” and that I don’t even own a pair of high heels. Anyway, I rose to the challenge but with the title Not in the city. Two down, one more to go!

To find me on Instagram, search for ladatcha!
My sister is Titanike and the third participant is Val_GG.

My little creatures are ready for a party! I am quite sure they are dancing to “Love Shack“.

They are all simply beautiful…
I really love creatures, especially when there is that mix of human and animal.  :-)

Tout simplement magnifique…
J’aime vraiment les créatures, surtout avec ce mélange d’humain et d’animal. :-)

Moosewoman & the Colonizers


Ink, watercolor and marker on paper

Moosewoman & the Colonizers… Was somebody looking for the name of a band?

You might have recognized the drawing above; it started as a painted pebble. I felt compelled to draw that character again. I am not sure how to complete it yet. Three quick tests were done (the circles) to see how the blue bubble could end up like. Still thinking about it…

What would you do?

 

Colonizers :: Colonisateurs

I should rename this blog “Finds from the forest”. I walk a lot in these woods, so much that one of my snowshoes gave away on Saturday. The other one does not have much longer. And well, they were 14 years old! It might have helped a bit.
