Abstract on Yupo 1
November 30, 2019
I did this small painting recently, during a break in studying. For this piece, which is A4, I used Yupo synthetic paper (which is a unique plastic-like substrate) and alcohol inks. I also used water colour paint, acrylic inks and paints, as well as Winsor & Newton Pro markers.
Hedgerow and Barn
April 23, 2019
Did a painting over the Easter holidays, inspired by life at the barn where we were a year ago. I am also fascinated by hedgerow life and conservation. I used acrylics for this piece on stretched canvas. To make the marks, I didn’t use any brushes but potatos cut up to stamp the paint with, … More Hedgerow and Barn
‘Monkey’s wedding’ …
December 22, 2018
Hey, I hope all of you who celebrate Christmas have a joyous one, filled with everything you need – like happiness, love, family and good friends. Christmas is not about the gifts, or the tree or the baubles and garish lights festooning so many houses at this time of year but you wouldn’t think otherwise … More ‘Monkey’s wedding’ …

New work (not for sale)
November 21, 2018
Something different (for me, at any rate). Got a bit tired of one of my larger canvasses last week, so decided to jazz it up somewhat. I don’t do this ‘pointilist’ type of work normally, so it was something strange to begin with but after a while I enjoyed the freedom. ‘What do you see?’ … More New work (not for sale)
Water-soluble Oil Pastels
November 8, 2018
I got me some Caran D’Ache ws oil pastels the other day and some really wonderful Bockingford Hot Pressed Watercolour Paper – A3 size – I took 20 sheets. What a difference good ground paper makes! It is really sturdy and quite stiff but takes a lot of manhandling with liquid and paint. I have … More Water-soluble Oil Pastels

Some new work
August 22, 2018
Well, we have at last settled into our new house. My painting space is very limited but I’m managing to scrape a hole big enough for myself and the paints … the large one below [abstract seascape) was painted mostly outdoors, great fun that was in 32 degrees C, trying to keep the acrylics wet! … More Some new work
Opposites attract
May 28, 2018
I was walking the dog last week and came across my first poppy of the summer – i just love how electric the reds are set against the green of the grasses. Hope you’re all having a lovely summer (if that’s your climate at the moment!)
New mixed media
May 1, 2018
There are many things influencing my outlook on life at the moment – some very positive (like moving to our own house very soon – yay, no more renting!) and others not quite as positive (like waiting to find out if we will be able to permanently care for my baby granddaughter – we will … More New mixed media
