Happy Eurovision 2022

Happy eurovision 2022! As many of you may know, eurovision day is one of my favourite days of the whole year (after Christmas obviously ).  To celebrate this year, I drew the uk entry, as that's where I'm from. Sam Ryder is representing the UK this year as has been doing the uk so proud in the  run up. After the past couple of contests, where we've come last I feel like Sam is the joy and hope we need. He's brought so much positivity to the contest and to the run up and we are proud of him no matter what. The bookies are suggesting we will do well and I think its going to be a positive result if we get double figures and we will have done incredibly well if we get on the left side of the board. But no matter what, he will have done his best and that is all we ask as at the end of the day its all fun and games and about bringing Europe together.  

My other favourites are Portugal and the Czech Republic. I loved Ireland's entry but unfortunately, she didn't get through to the final but its a tune that I will listen to loads. 

My Spotify is mostly used for  listening to eurovision songs and one of my most listened to song ever on Spotify is if I were sorry by frans who represented Sweden in 2016 who came 5th. Fairytale by Alexander Rybeck is also one of my favourites as him winning is one of my first eurovision memories as I was allowed to stay up when I was 9. I remember the next day, me and my sister bought fairytale on our phones back when you could buy songs for 99p.

What is your favourite eurovision song or memory? 

Good luck to all the acts competing tonight and i hope everyone watching enjoys the show. 

 

Leaf insect

I saw a collaborative project on Instagram by eve macmaster to illustrate a bug so I thought I'd join in and paint a leaf insect. On animal crossing I love leaf insects as they blend in to the item icons which I think is a cool little thing for the creators to do. I painted this insect im watercolours and used a dotty technique to give get the insects colouring right. I gave the painting a little shadow as it reminded me of all the butterflies I drew in my alevels for a project I did on patterns in nature that turned into a project on butterflies where I must have drawn about 100 butterflies in every different type of material going . It was a lot of fun but im glad I don't have to analysis every single piece of work I do anymore and I can create work I won't to create a bit more and in a style I want to create work in and not be focused to do cubism and for the billionth time. Anyway I really enjoyed creating this little painting as I hadn't done a realistic watercolor in a little while so this was good to do and get practice with it some more. 

Remember I am always open for watercolour pet portraits at a very reasonable price!!!
