It took me a while to get 'in the mood' for some Spring time paintings since it seemed Spring would never arrive here, but hurray it finally has!
This is 'Birdie and Blossom', I love how the colours look quite vintagey and you can just about see the little blue bird snuggled in the tree.
This is 'Blackbird Song', I had this image in my head and couldn't wait to paint the pink roses climbing up the bird house, so pretty.
Both new paintings are now available in my Etsy shop.

Remember I said that I've been waiting and watching out for birds in my garden, as we recently put up a bird feeder to attract all my favourite little creatures. Well so far no little birdies have found it.
I think our feeder is too high so I am planning to get one of those hooks that you hang the feeders from. {Apparently called a bird feeding station, I just found out}
Well the other day, even though they didn't feed, I did see an abundance of birdies just playing! First came Mrs Blackbird, then two cute little Blue Tit's (my fav) and then Mr Robin! I felt so blessed to see all of those birdies in my garden at once. I hope they come back...
‘Christmas Robin’ cute little original painting now available here.

I’ve been playing around with some new ideas and came up with this pretty notepad. There is only one and it’s an original illustration in pencil with shimmery pink flowers with glitter in the centres.
I have some other notepad type items in the works too so what the shop for those coming soon.
Also, got some new characters being developed so lot’s of exciting new things coming up.
Thanks as always for being so supportive of my art.

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

I am so excited about this latest drawing ‘Tree of Hope’. I’m so inspired by trees right now and the beautiful colours of the leaves this time of year. I thought it would be cool to add some collage to my pencil drawing and it works so well!
It’d hard to see from this picture but when you head on over to Etsy I have a great close up of the flowers which shows them in their sparkling glory. I used some gold paper and it looks so festive and special.
This drawing and another are now available over at Etsy.
Enjoy!

As I sat down to paint on Friday with no painting planned ahead, I started off with the sky and it flowed from there. The Summer sunshine and the beauty of the flowers has been inspiring me so much. Such joy to be out in the sunshine, especially when walking Ellie.
Remember this painting I did last year? {original is sold}
It was inspired by this beautiful tree I had seen whilst walking Ellie near the park. It was so full of pink blossom it looked amazing. I forgot to take a photo of it at the time but the other day I saw it again in full bloom and just had to take a pic to show you. It’s fun to see where inspiration comes from, so I thought you’d enjoy this.
The tree is huge!! I’ve never seen so many blossoms on one tree. I hope ours gets like this some day. We only planted it last year so this years show was pretty poor. Hoping for a better one next year.
‘Blossom kisses’ is available in the shop as a print.

As the season changes I am also entering a new season of life where new and exciting things are taking place. New art opportunities, new challenges and new friendships. I think this year has been my best yet!
‘The Whisper of Autumn’ is something new for me, it came to me as a vision from God and I love the atmosphere of the painting. I was so keen to get the right ‘feel’ as I had envisioned it and thankfully I did!
I really love this new painting and am hoping more paintings will stem from this as well as my ongoing characters and whimsical things.
‘The Whisper of Autumn’ is now available at my Etsy shop.
Hope you had a great weekend! We were celebrating Hubby’s Nan’s 90th Birthday! :D
