A Bouquet To Start The Week

The weathers a bit hit and miss here at the minute.
Certainly quite a way from being bright and summery.
Still, things can be brightened up with some colour and flower.
Have a splendid week.

New Paints And Coloured Backgrounds

Hello!
It's been a while. I can only apologise ; )
I recently bought some acrylic paints. I've not really used them since my uni/college days.
Pens, and collage took over once I left.

It's so nice to put colour on colour again. It's hard with just pen.
So here is my first dabbling back into painting.
Staying true to my floral/plant/abstract marks.

Catching Up On Here! 3 Fabulous Commissions

It's been a while! Sorry, got busy after returning from New York.
(which I will post about very soon, it was very good)

Before I do that I need to share with you these 3 gorgeous commissions that happened before I went.
I was even able to deliver them by hand, in NYC!

Sadly two of these beautiful canines are no longer with us. I know they will be greatly missed, and I also know that the portraits will be totally treasured.
As I've said many times before I'm always very honoured to be given the duty of capturing memorial portraits. To be trusted with them is something I never take for granted.

Thank you Emma, I loved having them as models.
So here's Koko, Winnie and Valentino.

Paddy The Cocker Spaniel With Flower Crown

It's been a busy week for commissions and project work.

I had the pleasure of creating a portrait of Paddy, who turns 14 very soon.
Apparently he's a fan of a flower crown.
Who am I to deny such things.

Spring Is Upon Us

I won't lie, it's so nice to see and feel the sun.
I don't mind winter, but lets face it, the sun and longer, brighter days are a lot nicer.

Things are warming up here and feeling like Spring is upon us.

Here's my tribute to, perhaps, my favourite season.

Greyhound Repeat

Good Morning!
March is here, and Spring is finally feeling like it's upon us. Delightful.

I intend to be far more present on here and fill it with colour, pattern and embroidery.
I can't grumble about my absence as I've been busy, but enough is enough ; )

So to start things off, here's a greyhound repeat with a gemstone saddle!

See you again soon X X X

New - Floral Doodle Greeting Cards

Hello and happy wednesday to you.

The sun is making a rare and most welcome appearance here.
I must say it's long overdue. Spring is finally showing it's face.

So to beckon it on even more I'm introducing my new Floral Doodle greeting card series.
At present there is 4, but there will be more coming very soon.

They go a treat with my existing floral doodle prints ( Oh Joy! is a fan and we all know she's got good taste ;)
If you decided you didn't want to send them to anyone, they'd even look great framed on your wall!

All can be found over at my Etsy shop.
Have a super day.

A January Bloom

It feels like an age since I've been able to draw.
So it's so nice to get some time today to create a floral doodle.

After a block of teaching seeing so many creatives producing interesting and inspiring ideas, I'm ready again to get playing.

Heres to a productive few weeks ahead.

House Plants And A Bit Of Patchwork

I'm terrible with house plants.
My record is keeping 3 alive for nearly over a year and a half, and that's been a struggle.
I either over love them or neglect them.
I must try better.
A collage version will last far longer in my hands I'm sure!

Me If I Had Blond Hair And Had A Dog

The other day I found myself daydreaming about having a canine friend.
Being back in my hometown over christmas and being around so many animals heightened my desire for a four legged friend.

So here's me, if I were blonde, a doll and had a canine pal to pet ; ) x x x

More Colour, More Pattern

I intend for 2015 to be filled with more colour and pattern.
And of course, it goes without saying canines.

Enjoy the remainder of the holidays x x x
