Lesley Holmes
After reading a post recently by Kerry of Design du Monde's blog (which you can view here http://designdumonde.blogspot.com/) on one of her favorite children's watercolor book, she inspired me (thank you Kerry) to share with you a book by Lesley Holmes who is an artist who specializes in watercolor and pencil sketches of the countryside and animals of the Cotswolds. I purchased two of her books, A Cotswold Sketchbook, one for myself (which she so graciously signed for me) and one for a friend of mine who is British in 2001. In addition to A Cotswolds Sketchbook she also has books of her sketches on Venice, (my next purchase from her hopefully) and a Lesley Holmes Sketchbook. She also sells etchings, originals, cards and prints. Here is a sampling of her sketches from A Cotswold Sketchbook.

Wow, those are absolutely gorgeous! I think it would be so much fun to be able to paint...to sit in a studio or out in the middle of nowhere with a paintbrush and canvas:) Thank you for sharing these Kris!
ReplyDeleteThey are lovely watercolors. Makes me long for England in the summer.
ReplyDeleteOh my very favourite part of our country captured so beautifully. I will look out for the book, gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteThose are truly lovely sketches and they took me right back to the Cotswalds.
ReplyDeleteOh these are lovely! There is a watercolor artist here in Provence that does a similar style of watercolor and ink sketches that I've always loved, too. I've always wanted to do watercolors!
ReplyDeleteLovely watecolors Kris! I'll take a look at the site you are sharing soon.

ReplyDeleteI don't believe so. She did do a sketch book on Venice and some for a book called The Lesley Holmes Sketchbook. If you go to her website listed above it will show you some of the sketches in the Venice book. Gorgeous!
