Thinking of Spring

Yes I did just really say that lol! I love Spring it’s my favourite time of year. I look forward to all the new growth especially as I love to grow my own plants from seed. The coming year will bring experiments in growing vegetables for the first time which will be exciting.

I also love the colours in Spring, the blue skies and the sound of the birds. So these drawings are inspired by those things…

The first is a new card in my kraft card original illustrations range and the second is a new 10 x 8” drawing. It’s my favourite yet!

Hope you are doing well and not too stressed from the preparations for Christmas. This week has been an emotional one so I took some time off to relax a bit. We’ve come out the other side though and I hope you will enjoy these new offerings now in the shop.

It’s not too late to order in time for Christmas if you live in the UK. I’m still taking orders through Christmas and the New Year and open for commissions at this time too.

Merry Christmas

Spring is almost here!

This weekend as we travelled and walked Ellie, I gasped with joy at all the blossom trees blooming. It has almost arrived! Spring is my favourite season, all the daffodils are out and now the blossom. I can’t wait for our blossom tree to bloom. We only planted it last Autumn so I don’t know when it will bloom, the label says Spring!

Next weekend the clocks change and we will have the long awaited lighter evenings and that means much more enjoyable walks with Ellie at night and when the warmer evenings come, dinner outside can’t wait!

Hope you like the new look of the blog.

Beau Jardin – Beautiful Garden

As promised more photos from France! The Chateau grounds were blossoming with lot’s of gorgeous blooms including these beautiful white blossoms.

Red ones…

I loved the red the best!

This is the moat around the Chateau, see those beautiful red blossoms.

Here is the large greenhouse that we where in and out of all week :D

This is the gate leading onto the woodlands, looks like the entrance to a secret garden doesn’t it!

So that was all the beauty of the grounds I captured and tomorrow I’ll be sharing our pics from our visit to Lille.

See you then,

Sunday Afternoon

Ahh remember what warm Spring Sunday afternoon’s feel like? I’m dreaming of them as I sit cold with no hot water and a cranky boiler waiting for a repair! Still I got the heating working so I’m warming up :)

I had some exciting ideas for new things I could work on next for the shop today, so watch this space for news on those.

‘Sunday Afternoon’ is now available on ebay.

Hope you are keeping warm, we’ve had more snow the last couple of days.

Guess What’s On My Mind…

All this snow and having to wear many layers of clothes is making me long for Spring!

I love blossom trees so I have started early and painted this pretty painting, ‘Spring Blossom’ the first in a new series of ‘blue sky’ paintings.

I hope you are all keeping warm and safe.

‘Spring Blossom’ is now available on ebay.
