My latest painting is a ginger cat on a glass mug and I added the goldfish bowl for a bit of character! Hope you like him. Trying to get the colour ginger was quite difficult, I used orange, white and a spot of brown in the end. However having looked at other people’s work ginger …
Happy New Year to you all. I now have a name for my new brand and in preparation for the launch I’ve been advised to get my own website. So far I have avoided this but I can see it makes sense these days, so many hours of research later I’ve started to create my …
Apologies for my absence of posts, I’ve only just come out of holiday mode! I had a lovely week in Spain, despite the rain for 4 days it was at least warm. Those that follow me on twitter will have seen the incredible fog, for those that didn’t here it is: Although I’ve not blogged …
All of you who have owned animals will understand this. I had to put my 16yr old cat to sleep at the weekend, 2 months after losing her brother and this is the reason for lack of blogs last week. She had tumours in her stomach and other complications, so there was no question that …

However I’ve just had a lightbulb moment. I have some old drinking glasses that are cloudy and definitely past their best and today bought …
This weeks theme is sunflowers, inspired by a commission and the fact that I’ve grown some from seed. Last year I had a monster sunflower: As you can imagine this produced a lot of seed. Some went to the birds and I planted a few seeds but to my dismay 3 of the young plants …
