illustration friday (bottled)

The inspiration for this etegami comes from a silly poem titled "An Alphabet," by the great English nonsense poet Edward Lear (1812 – 1888). I'm always looking for excuses to paint with blue, which happens to be my very favorite color. What's yours?

  2. Hi Debbie,

    I love your drawing as ever! My favourite colours are red, pink and aqua blue/green. Red for dynanism and energy, pink for happiness and aqua blue green for dreaminess. Love your work, cheers Sam. :)

  14. How fanciful and fun! I adore ink bottles. Reminds me of the HP series, of feather quills and parchment paper :) Loved the poem too, looked it up. And blue happens to be my favorite color too, followed by green :)
