Hellooo!

We had a lovely break from routine, did some travelling and are now back in Montreal. Here are a few pictures of our travels:

We never get tired of this view:

Edinburgh castle

The old swimming baths that I used to go to has been turned into a wonderful tapestry studio called Dovecot Studios. While we were there, we were lucky enough to catch the John Burningham exhibition that was on:

Dovecot Studios, Edinburgh

We took a very wet but lovely trip to the botanics:

On our way to see some friends in Orkney, we stopped off at Dornoch:

But he main reason for our trip was because my sister was getting married:

My beautiful sister and my lovely nieces

It was an absolutely wonderful day and we were so glad that we got to share it with them. We did lots of fun family stuff together and also had plenty of time to sit around and relax.

Consequently, I haven't touched any art materials in weeks, which was needed I think. But now, I am itching to get started again but also a little nervous to begin. I am experiencing a little bit of illustration stage fright if there is such a condition :) I thought I might start with buying a new sketchbook, try a bit of doodling and see where it takes me....

Almost forgot to mention that some copies of the latest book that I illustrated recently arrived:Why oh Why does Baby cry? Published by Random House.
