A Mermaid at St.Michael’s Mount
It’s enjoyable to create an imaginary combination of real places with storytelling. I have placed here a mermaid sitting on a rock. My dance continues to influence my painting and this Summer I was fortunate to be given the opportunity to play a Mermaid in an historical dance with Margaret Morris Movement at Chichester University.
The Red Fishing Boat
I always like to keep myself busy when I’m exhibiting. Last weekend I was exhibiting at Hever castle in Kent with “Craft in Focus”. It is such a beautiful setting and although the weather wasn’t very good, I still managed to keep working. I was reflecting on my holidays and time spent in Cornwall. This […]
Mythical Autumnal Landscape
Last week I created this new painting for my Mythical Range. We can hear the owls at night and the leaves are beginning to fall from the trees. I think Autumn is my favourite season.
An Unexpected Visitor
Recently we have had a mischievous cat creep into our front garden. She has even jumped onto the window sill looking for our dog Nipper. The other day they came to blows when we were taking Nipper for a walk. I think he was guarding his territory. Fortunately she got away!
A view through the window
There’s nothing better than enjoying a cup of tea and a cake on a Summer’s afternoon. We live in an old cottage overlooking some terraced houses, although I have used artistic licence making them brightly coloured in this painting.
Flowers and Sea shells in Salcombe
When I am back home it’s lovely to reflect and dream about good times. I have imagined a view through a window looking out to the sea. I used some fresh garden flowers to create the still life with butterflies fluttering delicately through the petals.
Beach huts and bunting
I also visited a beach in Teignmouth which had colourful beach huts. I have depicted them here with bunting reflected in the sea alongside an assortment of boats. I wanted to express it’s lively character and I have used mixed media, inks, watercolour and gouache.
Teignmouth Harbour
Whilst visiting Devon recently we visited Teignmouth. I loved this quirky harbour with it’s terraced houses right next to the beach.
The Walled Garden
I love Cottage Gardens and really enjoy painting garden scenes. This painting “The Walled Garden” which I exhibited at The Spring Art Fair in Teddington went to a new home.
Exhibiting at The Landmark Arts Centre, Teddington
Last Friday to Sunday 20-22 May, I exhibited at The Landmark Arts Centre in Teddington, South West London. It is a wonderful venue, a magnificent Church built in the 1880s.
