inspiration . amanda blake
i was relaxing/drawing/chatting with the kids at the table the other day when i realised i was drawing a boat pulling into a shore. the background was all pretty usual ~ mountains with trees and a few signs of life. but, i wondered ~ why am i drawing a boat?? i was a bit surprised. . . then when i was reading blogs/surfing etsy i realised where my subconscious had been visiting!
i love amanda's characters and i also love her landscapes, and her boats!
:: she waited for the ice to melt
:: when the sea had turned to purple they knew they had gone too far
:: she had made a promise to the bees

These are really whimsical and intriguing! Can't wait to see your boats...
these really are very pretty. and they even remind of the book i'm reading because it talks about boats and stuff :)
Such beautiful images.
Lovely and very revealing imagery, thank you for sharing.
Amanda's work is really beautiful!
How fun to draw with your boys - perhaps time to show some of their art? I love children's drawings - they are so honest!
Love Amanda's boats; would love yours too :-)
