Something new but not quite finished.
Really happy with the lettering and the sun. Less happy with the hare!
Work to be done.

Some little paintings I did last year using real leaves.
And the sweetest of animals….

New work with words by Shakespeare. I really hope you like it.

Thank you. I have them in the wall in my parent's house and they look gorgeous in a frame with a bit of space around them.
And boy did I learn a lot!

5 colour pencil drawings of flowers from the garden. 1 watercolour of Irises in a neighbours garden. All by me, Sam :-) Samantha when my parent's are cross with me!

A reminder today that things don't always go as you planned in life.
I absolutely couldn't make a go of it doing colour pencil drawings like this. But I did get there in the end.

If you can afford to keep trying, keep trying x

Wendell Berry - In the stillness of the trees I am home.
And this is a print and also a card now too :-)

My cat expert (son’s girlfriend) is out at the moment but when she gets home I’ll show her the pictures I used for the colouring and let you know.
I love blacky blue colours.

I promise I won’t do any more of these!

An iPad snap.

A hare surrounded by silver honestly seeds, a red moon, a golden background and words from Rumi The inspiration you seek is already within you. Be silent and listen.

Thank you. Big op so lots of healing to do inside and out. But she's getting there x

Thank you 🙂

Two Bluetits in flight. With Dill and buttercups, common blue butterflies and words by Rumi.

New work today with words by Rumi.
I've been looking after my mum for a few weeks now since she came out of hospital so getting new work done has been hard.
I was very sceptical if I could finish anything so this is all the more special.

A robin on top of a milk bottle. With the words - those we love don't go away they walk beside us every day.

Those we love don't go away, they walk beside us every day.

And memories of doorstop milk deliveries and birds pecking the tops.

Apologies to all those still traumatised by their school milk days 🙂

Dartmoor - with a fox. Words by William Wordsworth.

William Wordsworth
'Knowing that nature never did betray the heart that loved her. '

I painted this picture of Dartmoor a few years ago when I was hoping to have my work sell in a nearby venue.

I love the colours in it.

It really feels like the season are turning today.
Pouring with rain. I'm so pleased for all the plants that have been so thirsty for so long.

A sunflower with a broad bodied chaser on top of it. And lettering using the words ‘her heart was made of liquid sunsets’ by Virginia Woolf.

New work - though not quite finished.
With words by Virginia Woolf.

I painted this using my new set or iridescent watercolours by Sennelier.
I think I used about half a tube to achieve that background! I wanted it really thick.

I really hope you like it.

Three different ways of seeing the moon.
I always take such huge artistic licence with my moon paintings but it really do seem to come in so many colours.

A greetings card of bluetits with forget me nots. And a hand painted pebble.

This is one of my greetings cards and also one of my little painted pebbles.
If you ever have someone who knows to need they are loved, you know where to find them.

Fox drawing in colour pencils. With words by Simone de Beauvoir

Work in progress of dragonfly wings

Bella being most put out that she cannot eat the Peacock. Derek being totally unbothered as he knows the power of reinforced glass.

Close up of the fox.

A new drawing with words by Simone de Beauvoir
What I’m working on now.
Derek the Peacock who has lost all his tail feathers which he only grew for the first time this year.
With Bella looking on, wishing the door would swing open.

I have prints now ❤️

Hare painting.
The bit of the process I find hard to describe- mushing colours….
Once you get these done, you can put the colour on and make it special ❤️
