  • A fresh change to an old painting

    09 September 2018 / Art, Inspirations

    They say that the best time to clean out your cupboards, wash your curtains and clean up an old painting is in Spring.  Well, the owner of this painting that I did a few years ago clearly thought so.  She had the art in her bedroom where she looked at it each day before getting…

    15 July 2015 / Art, Inspirations

    I’m constantly in awe of nature. Not just in its capacity to create and control life on this wondrous planet but also, in the little things. Those moments when you notice the leaves changing colour on the trees; raindrops glistening on the window; a butterfly  fluttering from flower to flower; blades of grass dancing in the wind;…
