Brr

It’s been raining so much in England, all day, everyday lately and Autumn has come upon us really quickly. We’ve been taking Ellie to the park and noticing more and more beautifully coloured leaves in dark reds, gold’s and greens. Although this time of year can be cold and dark here some days, there is always beauty to be seen.

These little cute robins are enjoying an Autumnal walk together all snuggled up under their umbrella.

‘Brr’ 5 x 5” painted on birch plywood, varnished and comes ready to hang.

£40 inc Shipping ($63 approx)

 

Happy Autumn!

Sweethearts Series…

It’s been a while since I painted something for my ‘Sweet Hearts’ series, I think the last one was the owls.

This week has been very exciting creatively speaking and I figured I could be even more creative in the way I put out my offerings to you. So, inspired by my new friend Jolie, I present ‘Pay what you will’!

I’ve been back at my painting table and present to you these little cuties…

‘Hold Me’ 5 x 5” painted on a vintage bingo card, can be framed or displayed free standing.

Thanks so much for following my art, I really appreciate you.

That’s Better!

Need a lift? It’s been a little tough for me lately and this latest painting is a cute little reminder - because sometimes you really do need a cuppa and a cake to feel better! (Just not every day lol :D)

Shop Update!

Summer has definitely arrived here in the UK, it’s been very hot the last couple of weeks. I enjoy getting out a little and sitting under the parasol for short breaks or for dinner but the rest of the time I like to be indoors trying to keep cool.

This has given me the perfect opportunity to do a shop update over at Etsy and share with you some old favs made into prints and some new originals and prints too.

I’ve decided to have a break from ebay for a little while so you can find all my art over at Etsy for the time being.

Enjoy the sunshine and don’t forget your sunscreen ;)

Hope

What do you ‘Hope’ for?

I’ve always loved the 1950’s fashions and beauty, there is just something about the simple, beautiful dresses and the big hair.

This painting was so much fun to do, I love how her eyes came out and how the skin looks. She looks like she is dreaming of something, her eyes focused on something in the distance.

I wonder what she is ‘Hoping’ for?

Home in the Country

18 x 14”

All the celebrating has calmed down round here now, Birthday cake eaten, kitchen organised (mostly lol) and getting back into everyday life.

Last night I sat listening to Eric Clapton on Sky Arts, knitting away my first sock (exciting) and Ellie was snuggled up beside me. Hubby asleep on the chair, I thought to myself how perfect this all was, peaceful and perfect. The only thing missing was a burning fire in the fireplace :D One day my dream will come true.

‘Home in the Country’, peaceful and perfect!

The Big 30 + A New Painting!

On Saturday it was the Big Day! The day I turned 30. The start of a new decade, boy that sounds scary :0 Still I’m sure God has great things in store for us so I won’t complain.

I had a lovely huge cake which Mum in Law made (Thank you!) and it took me quite a while to blow out all those candles lol

Thankfully the rain held off till later on so we were able to enjoy a lovely BBQ with family and friends. A very blessed day all round.

Thank you all for the Birthday wishes on Facebook, I was so surprised to see so many :D

This new week brings some new paintings to share with you over the coming days…

5 x 5”

{Original Sold thank you! Prints available at Etsy}

‘Sweet Hearts’ A cute little painting on wood, with a touch of vintage. I used vintage style collage papers to make the flowers and finished it off with some glitter (of course ;) ) and an antique wash. Ahh love, makes the world a much better place don’t you think?

The outpouring of love shown to me over the weekend really touched my heart, it’s wonderful to know so many people care. Sometimes we think that ‘we aren’t enough’ or ‘nobody cares’ and it’s hard to dig ourselves out of that pit. I’ve fallen in many times and probably will again and again, but I know that people around me love me and that they are always there to give me a hand up and a lovely warm hug.

Don’t forget, You Are Loved!

These two little gorgeous owls are waiting for a new home, find them on ebay now.

Hope you had a great weekend,
