New Painting in my Animal Series : Miss Molly Cranston, Lady's Maid
Miss Molly Cranston stood firm on the train platform. She kept her watchful eye upon her lady's cases. One could never trust conductors with fine luggage.
Miss Cranston, or Cranston to her Lady, was a stern ship in the sea of travel. She'd followed her lady, the beauty Lady Sybil, from relative to relative with the seasons. Now, however, her Lady had come "into her own" as she had told cook, sternly, when she heard the lower staff discussing the windfall of Lady Soft-Pelt.
"You shouldn't discuss money nor things you don't understand", she'd had words with the kitchen staff.
Cranston didn't suffer fools, and she didn't take gossip below stairs, nor sass from sloppy Porters,
"You there, boy," cried Cranston in her stern tone, getting the attention of a porter. His cap was not set as straight as she'd have liked, "What are you on about? Get my lady's things."
Yes, things were about to change for the better. No longer was her Lady to be sat lower at table, given spare rooms a bit too close to the upper floors in wealthier cousins homes; Now She was to be her own Mistress.
Miss Molly Cranston, Lady's maid, was very proud of her Lady.
The piece without color.
Well, after making Lady Soft-Pelt in My Last Post, I had to create her darling Cranston, Lady's maid.
Here you can see Lady Soft-Pelt:
I really do love creating the storylines for my characters when in my studio day dreaming away as I sketch. These little creatures came to light at the beginning of the year and they've stuck with me.
Some of the layers of this piece.
Even tho I've been SO busy this Summer, not getting as much time in my studio as I'd like, they've stayed with me. Their little storylines swirling about my head as I chatted with family, or tidied up my little cottage for guests.
It's why I'm looking forward to Autumn to get back into the studio and really delve into this world.
I hope you are enjoying them with me as I create them.
I've always been a creature of Autumn and Winter and as we leave Summer behind I'm excited to set up a new studio space and get back into the swing of the "off season".
I hope all of you have a lovely day and find a moment to indulge in your own passions.

Oh this is beautifully written, I love the story behind the art piece. I know the feeling of having a whole story developing in your mind before you even pen down or draw the artwork. Thank you so much for sharing! It is really beautiful.
Thank you so much @fermentedphil I'm happy you enjoyed my little story line. Isn't it true, tho, that we make these little stories as we create , I love it.
I love it as well! I remember in my school days, I used to tell elaborate backstories to my art. It inspired so many writings of mine. I need to rekindle that story telling passion!
All Ur works are really good broz cheers ⚡⚡🤛🏻
Thank you so much @fonestreet I'm happy you enjoyed it.
I congratulate you, they are really beautiful, they gave me so much tenderness that they reminded me of the stories from my childhood, I will be waiting to learn more about Lady Soft-Pelt.
I'm so happy these reminded you of your childhood @ycarola I grew up on old illustrations and stories. My childhood books were filled with old Victorian illustrations as I was lucky to have many ancient books left by relatives, so whilst others were reading Clifford, I was reading Tales from the Nursery from the 1800's :)

Gosh @hivebuzz what an honor! Is it true I had the most upvotes of the day?! I wonder is that just in the one category? I'm so proud, thank you :)
Yes @donnadavisart, it's true! Your post had the most upvotes of the day across the entire Hive blockchain, not just in one category. This is a significant achievement and you should be very proud. Keep up the great work!
The attention to detail in both your story and artwork is wonderful. It's evident that you have a vivid imagination and a talent for bringing your characters to life.
It's always a pleasure to see the stories and characters that you create. Thank you for sharing this charming tale with us!
Gosh, thank you @ilmaffeiano78 I'm so happy you enjoyed my little story and my artwork. It's a labor of love, for certain.
There is something so sweet about your line drawing overlaying the watercolor-like coloring. Makes the whole piece so gentle and well put! Congrats! I love what you've been doing over here! =)
Thank you so much @lourencoalart I've been having such fun with it. I love animals and was inspired one day to put down the little characters I'm always making stories up about and it's just been a fun journey.
So quaint, I love mice and bunnies!
Me too, really I love all animals, so I try to give them all a shot in my drawings :)
Such lovely characters!
