Y is for Year of the Horse

Happy New Year everyone! 2026 is the Year of the Horse. Yesterday, I sat and set myself the challenge of painting a ‘snow pony’ within a time limit of 2 hours. I allowed myself 6 acrylic paints: mixing white, process yellow, process cyan, process magenta, Hooker’s green and Payne’s grey – no black! I wouldContinue reading “Y is for Year of the Horse”

W is for Woodland

2023 was not a good year for me. Significant health issues plagued me for 6 months and I had to overhaul my life in order to help myself heal and get stronger again. Change of diet, physical rehab, gym workouts, meditation, reiki, being outside in nature… the list of changes I undertook was long, alongsideContinue reading “W is for Woodland”

B is for Book Illustration

September rolls around and I am fully into the swing of being a home worker again! I have been really busy lately, booked up with pet and portrait commissions. One artistic endeavor that I recently made, that was a more unique experience for me, involved working with a first-time author called Lindsay Walter. A kindContinue reading “B is for Book Illustration”

P is for Pottery Painting

Gosh, it’s been a while (a year!!) since I last wrote a blog. I’ve got to be honest it doesn’t come naturally to me to sit and pour my thoughts out on the internet. Anyway, I thought I’d share with you what I’ve been up to! Last September I started a job as an artist-in-residenceContinue reading “P is for Pottery Painting”

# is for #drawingaugust2021

And so another Summer rolls around! Can’t believe this is my third year of #drawingaugust (you can only see and buy the drawings via my Facebook page). It’s quite a challenge producing 31 drawings in 31 days, hard to be inspired to be creative every day on repeat. I’d opened up the challenge this yearContinue reading “# is for #drawingaugust2021”

S is for Summer Hols

Schools have broken up for Summer and the sun continues to shine! I’ve just returned from a glorious week in Devon and am on a major ‘go slow’ after resting and relaxing on the stunning beaches! I highly recommend visiting the South West of England, it is absolutely stunning down there. I then eased myselfContinue reading “S is for Summer Hols”

F is for Father’s Day

I’ve mainly been completing ‘people’ portraits in recent weeks, many as gifts for Father’s Day. These seem to be growing in popularity which is exciting as I always viewed animals as my strength but I’m pleased my clients love the way I portray their family members. I draw rather than paint people; I find theContinue reading “F is for Father’s Day”

M is for Memorial Art

There are two reasons that really inspire me to produce Art. The first reason is producing art for children. I feel I’ll never get a better audience for my art than a child. They are brutally honest in the best possible way…if a child of any age tells you they love your work well thatContinue reading “M is for Memorial Art”

C is for Cat

My pet commissions are mainly of dogs, or should I say have been mainly of dogs up until 2021 (the first and most recent cat shown in photo). I’m nearly on equal bookings of cats and dogs for the first time ever! It’s funny really as I do find cats far more challenging than dogs.Continue reading “C is for Cat”

S is for Spring!

Well I can’t quite believe it…exactly one year ago today that the UK began a national lockdown due to the pandemic. All my Facebook memories are about this, it’s really sad to reflect on all the loss and hardship the last 12 months have brought for so many people. There was a minute of silenceContinue reading “S is for Spring!”
