Morning walk
I managed to capture this delightful doorway on my walk this morning, it’s amazing what you can see in London if you just look up, lots of decorative features and details. It makes me wonder about the artists and crafts people who created such beautiful things… Here is a corner of my house where I’ve…
Morning walk and catch-up
It was a glorious morning today, I routed my walk via St Paul’s Cathedral and managed to capture it bathed in the early morning spring sunshine. The warmer weather has given me a boost in energy and I spent the weekend rescuing my garden path which had been choked by weeds and grass. The crazy…
Morning walk etc
This morning was warm and sunny with a definite feel of spring in the air! I did my morning walk to the sound of City of Glass (Mortal Instruments book 3) on my audible iPhone app, I think this book is my fave in the series, I had a pre-listen to book 4 ‘City of Fallen Angels’ but didn’t…
Cool Dragon and colourful face..

Hi all, I’ve been arting away this weekend whilst the weather here, on the edge of London has been cold, windy and wet. I took the time to complete a painting that had been sitting in a ‘prepped’ state for months. I wanted to practice drawing insects using a lot of line work, I’ve realised…
New mixed media dream catcher painting – Life Book
I thoroughly enjoyed making this dream catcher from a life book lesson taught by Rachael Rice. The background was an old painting (I didn’t like) which I firstly covered with a neutral coloured ‘Fresco Finish’ acrylic paint applied with a brayer. When this was dry I added blobs of my new fave Golden fluid acrylic…
New whimsical lettering painting – Life Book 2015
Hi, here is a new watercolour painting made for a Life Book class by the lovely Joanna Sharpe. It’s been a long time since I’ve used my watercolours, I love their vibrant luminous colours. Who was it that said ‘watercolour painting is like painting with tears’?… And here are some feathers, painted on a scrap…
