Wild Flower Cottage Adventures

Remember this?



Well, it’s Winter now at ‘Wild Flower Cottage’, the flowers have all died back and the hill was looking really bare, so what could we do but build a snowman!





Prints of ‘Wild Flowers’ are still available and my new original ‘Winter at Wild Flower Cottage’ is now available over at Etsy.

Focus on Originals

Sorry I have been a little quiet around here lately, there has been much pondering going on, deciding where I want to take my business and what I should keep, not keep.

I’ve come to the conclusion that I love what I already do but I need to make originals more of a focus as that is what makes me happy the most. So I’m going to be adding new originals to my shop but also I am going to create an email list where those signed up can be the first to see and have chance to purchase originals before I put it out to the rest of the world.

If you would be interested in being on this list (emails will be sent out as and when I create originals, possibly once or more a week) please would you comment below or send me an email so I can add you with permission, I never add people unless they give me permission to.

If you are already on my main list, which will still be continuing once per month, please still let me know so I can add you to the other list as well.

Thanks so much for your support of my art, it means so much.

IF ‘Carry’

I thought it would be fun to start taking part in Illustration Friday’s prompts, so here is my first for the word ‘Carry’.

The bee carries the pollen from flower to flower, doing it’s job in nature.

The colour palette for the wild flowers was inspired by a gardening programme I watched the other day, Alan Titchmarsh’s ‘Love Your Garden’. I thought the colour of the plants they chose to make over this families garden was so stunning I wanted to use it in my painting.

This painting was done on beautiful birch plywood chunky canvas and will be available from tomorrow, along with prints of the image.

Spring is on it’s way!

The last couple of days it’s really felt like Spring! Beautiful clear blue sky’s and sunshine, it makes me so happy.

Hubby got back from work early today so we could go walking in the park and enjoy the sunshine. :D Ellie loves to pose for the camera lol.

All this sunshine is so inspiring, I’m sure there will be lot’s more ‘Blue Sky’ paintings to come. The one above is my latest called ‘Wild Flowers’ isn’t it pretty.

I adore flowers, remember me posting about these sweet peas I grew last year? Well I’m going to grow more this year, I just got a new packet of seeds yay :D I went for a different variety this year called ‘Big Tops’ funny name but they are meant to have a lot more colours in them so I’ll be soaking them tonight and sow tomorrow. I always find the growing process so exciting, seeing them come to life and bloom.

Do you grow anything for your garden? I’d love to hear all about it, leave me a comment.

‘Wild Flowers’ is now available on ebay.
