The niggle of self doubt!

I’m in the process of having a brand new website designed, my husband made my current website years ago and it’s been great, but we felt it was time to upgrade to a professional site. This has been quite a big decision but I’m so excited about it especially now that I’ve seen the start…

Ups & Downs

Today I thought I’d share with you the ups and downs I’ve had with my art this week! When I tutor and demonstrate to groups, people often imagine all my paintings go to plan and that I never have any failures, if only that were true! As I’ve talked about in some of my previous…

Natural Inspirations

Wow that’s another week come and gone! I’ve been waiting for weeks to mount my new floral paintings but the conservation board I use has been out of stock. It was meant to be available again at the beginning of this week and I was looking forward to mounting and photographing my new work. However,…

Artistic Journey

I’ve always found two things really difficult when working on a studio painting. The first is like many artists, I find it hard to decide when a painting is finished. It’s so easy to overwork a painting and then wish I’d put my brushes down ten minutes earlier. I find towards the end of a…

New Ventures

I have to say it’s been a really steep learning curve and I’ve discovered it takes lots and lots of time to get the filming and video editing just right! My…

Exciting plans!

Today is definitely the day to be catching up on computer work, we’ve had gusts of wind, sunshine, rain and now hail! As I mentioned in my last blog I’ve been developing several different projects to enable me to still run my art business during the current situation. One of the things I’ve missed during…

Tips and Techniques – masking fluid

Wow what beautiful warm sunny weather we’ve had this week, I spent lots of time in my garden. At the start of lockdown I decided to enlarge and re shaped a few of our flower beds by lifting some of the lawn with the help of my other half of course! Well this week I…

Favourite Place – My Studio

Wow where has that week gone! Along with my ideas, thoughts, and inspirations I will also occasionally be sharing some “How to….” tips and techniques. Although this is definitely not a “how to…..” tip I would recommend! I recently dropped a full bottle of brown acrylic ink in the studio! Amazingly the bottle didn’t break…
