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..
Everything seems to have stopped working in my house! Last night my internet service provider refused to allow connections to Netflix, then the 2nd Xbox controller in a row broke, and then my toilet started leaking… So whilst waiting for a plumber to arrive I finished a ‘Fabulous Faces’ lesson by Willowing. I mainly used…
Morning Walk
It has been a delightful morning, I’ve been continuing my health and wellbeing drive with daily walks, this will be my fourth week of walking and eating 5-a-day (mostly) and I’m definitely feeling better for it, my stomach is flatter, my skin clearer and the initial blisters and sore legs have all gone away. Its been really…

Morning walk
I love this calendar clock, it twinkles at night :) Update!

The face in the middle is Winston Churchill. The little round window…

I’ve been trying to capture my morning walks on Instagram. It adds another dimension to walking to work every day and allows me to capture the details of what I see and keep a record of them. So I’m going to start posting them on my blog too.
New Painting – Lady and insects
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…
