Finding My Way Again + New Art!

Since I last posted things have been improving a lot! I realised I just need to embrace all aspects of myself which includes different mediums of art. Somehow accepting that has really turned things around and I feel like I’m back in the game so to speak.

So yesterday I decided it was time to put my art on the walls, I had been enjoying the blank walls but knew I needed to decide what I wanted to put up. I wanted it simple, uncluttered and showing my range of art.

So this is how it looks and I am delighted! I’m displaying my ACEO’s on my memo board and they look fab! And a new thing.. I framed some of my drawings for display and they look really stunning. It’s great to be able to share these pics with you so you can see how my work looks up on the wall Smile

This is the wall near my computer, I put two of my 10 x 8” drawings up here and they look wonderful.

This is ‘The Village’ framed. I won’t be selling it framed but it gives you a great idea of how it looks. I’ve realised my drawings look far better un-mounted and just framed, keeping it simple shows them off a lot better.

Besides doing that I have been working on new originals and I have a few other secret projects in the works which I am totally excited about. More on those later but for now please meet….

Inspired by my ACEO cards featuring my newest character I decided to do a A5 (8 1/4 x 5 7/8)” version. The paper is gorgeous, slightly off white and the pencil marks really pop out, this drawing will look great framed.

My other new original is ‘Signs of Spring’ inspired by the bulbs popping up in the garden and my fav time of year…

You can find both now in my Etsy shop and see more pics of the full sized versions.

Off to create more… and thank you all for your support x

This one has a little story behind it, see listing for more details Smile

I’m really enjoying working on these ACEO’s, it’s great whilst I wait for my studio to be finished.

People are trying to guess the colour that I’m painting my studio, lol do you have a guess?

Thinking of Spring

pinkblossomtree

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
