Beatrix Potter style

My Mum and I watched Miss Potter the other day and I have been incredibly inspired to write and paint ever since! I could really relate to Bea when she held her first published book in her hands -- wouldn't that be so awesome?? I highly recommend that movie to all writers and painters :)

From The Tale of Two Bad Mice

Here are her watercolor paintings...
From The Tale of Benjamin Bunny

... And here are mine.


What do you think? Do you like them? Has anything recently inspired you? I want to know! :D

Sorry this is such a short post, but I must dash!

  6. Thank you all, you gals are all tooo nice!:)
    I must admit I was very excited when I saw how well they came out :D Up till now I've considered my watercolor skills non-existent! Hopefully I can continue to nurse this seedling into a full blossom!

  7. They're really good! Keep it up ;)

    I remember watching videos of the animals that she made. Like "Peter Rabbit", "Flopsy Bunnies", and "Mrs. Mouse Something", I don't know its been a long time ago since I watched them. :)
