I can’t believe it’s been 2 months since I started this alphabet challenge. The good thing is I am still very much enjoying it! There were not too many choices for the letter I and I’ve gone for an Iguana ACEO and an Irish Setter dog SFA painting (small format art, as explained in last …
You may have guessed from the title my rescue cat is now with me and I was greeted with lots of meows! I’ve called her Lottie, the third consideration after Bella and Millie. She was found in a shopping car park, is between 1-2 yrs old and had been with Cats Protection for 3 months. …
Three of the H animals got votes this week- hedgehog, hippopotamus and hare. I’ve not done the hare yet, been distracted with getting a rescue cat but that’s another post! I have painted a hippo mixed media ACEO and hedgehog canvas, which can apparently both be classed as SFA. A new term I’ve learnt this …
This weeks alphabet challenge is the letter H and I found this cute hedgehog video to show you. As voting went down well last week, I thought I’d put it to the vote again. Please do choose which animal you’d like me to paint this week and put any suggestions for businesses connected to animals whose …
Thank you to everyone that voted in my alphabet challenge and giraffe won the day with gazelle getting some votes too. However I was on a roll this week, so ended up painting a gorilla too!

I’ve just returned from a lovely short break away in Suffolk, visiting a friend who I don’t see that often because it’s a 6 hour journey. A long way in the UK! Hence I painted this flamingo before I went, for my letter F challenge. It is an ACEO (art card editions and originals 3.5 …
Week 5 of my challenge was more challenging with not so many animals to choose from! Thank you to those who gave me suggestions. I decided an elephant would look quite good on a decanter, with his trunk reaching around the neck. Getting the colour correct and solid enough took quite a few layers of …
There are not so many animals beginning with E, so I’ve already started painting an elephant on glass! Please do suggest another animal for me to paint on an ACEO and a business connected to animals whose name begins with E, that I can feature on Friday. Keeping with E, I thought I’d show you …
For this weeks letter D I have gone for two seasonal mixed media paintings. The arrival of spiders and their webs on my washing line is a good indicator that autumn is on its way! I’ve painted an ACEO of a deer and a larger canvas autumn tree painting with dachshund dogs. I decided to …
