Over Christmas I completed this Deer portrait. Something different in that me and my husband sat down and did the same drawing together. For someone who hadn't tried drawing before I was really impressed with his finished portrait. I'll share them on a later post as he did an initial attempt without any help from me and then for the 2nd attempt I gave him 15 minutes of tuition. It was really rew... Read More
This little guy made it off to its new home yesterday :). I loved working on this smaller piece and plan on doing a few more like this. When I planned this Robin I had lots of off cuts of my pastel paper, Pastelmat. I hate seeing waste and this paper due to its high quality is not cheap. So I started to come up with ideas on how to create smaller pieces but still ensure I captured the level of d... Read More

One of my last originals from my very first exhibition has sold. This was one of my very first oils on canvas so I'll be sad to see it go however its going to be hung with two of my other pieces :). I feel very honoured when people choose to keep my artwork in their home.

I think Pheasants are a really understated bird. To have these on our doorstep with such striking colours which come in a couple of varieties is something we may not appreciate as much as we should. Before Christmas I made a start on this painting and soon after starting it I regretted it... Those feathers. I didn't think I was going to get to the end! I stuck with it and got there. This is a 16... Read More
