Dogs And Matisse!

Hello there,

I was meant to post this last week, but the time has flown and here I am 5 days later!

Last weekend I went to see Matisse Cut-Outs at Tate Modern. 

What a total joy, it was.

Ever since my collage days I have been a huge admirer of his work.

Colour, pattern, the subject matters, what's not to love.

To see these pieces in the flesh, the scissor marks and drawing pin holes that go into making them was utterly fabulous.

The scale of some works were huge and lost none of the appeal.

If you can, go. It won't disappoint.

A Mix of Gorgeous Grumps - Repeat Pattern With Canines

Hello!

I'm back from fantastic Berlin ( I'll post some pictures later).
I had a fabulous time, but I'm also happy to be back working.

I've been meaning to create more repeat patters, especially canine related.
This one is a mixed breed repeat, featuring bull terriers, boxer dogs, and bulldogs.
Some of my favourite grumpy faces to draw.
More to follow.

Have a super Tuesday x x x

A Japanese Chin For Friday!

As you probably know, I love a grumpy face to draw.
Along with Bulldogs, Boxers and Pugs, the Japanese Chin is up there with the features I can't resist capturing.
Here's one enjoying some pastel shades and florals.

Have a fabulous Friday. x x x

Boxer Dog Pattern

Bonjour and happy weekend.
Hope the week has been a productive and good one for you.

I'm still finding my feet in the new house, new routines and surroundings are becoming very familiar now and getting in to a new pattern of working.
All good and loving the change.

Here's a Boxer repeat to start the weekend.

Monday Hello!

Hope you had a fabulous weekend and feel as happy as Hamilton does : )

This weekend I went to the wedding celebrations of two dear friends.
Saw more dear friends that I haven't seen in a while and the other half got to meet them all in one go

A lovely weekend, of much dancing, much laughter and eating chips and curry sauce with the bride in the early hours of Sunday morning! (I might be getting too old for this : )

Their first dance.

Sneak peak of things to come!

Jubilee inspired custom portraits!
Orders being taken soon : )
I'll keep you posted.

Have a great Easter Weekend.
I'm off to Prague next week, can't wait.

Ta ra.
