I love painting your pet baubles. This handsome boy took me a while, but I quite like watching back how he slowly takes shape! There is always a moment at the beginning when I think ‘I can’t do this’ but then they start to reveal themselves layer by layer.
Let me know what you think in the comments…and if you are feeling generous, like, comment, save, or copy link! It all helps, thank you 🙏🥰❤️

But I still wouldn’t want to change it for the world! I really love working for myself.

At the moment I’m in an extreme quiet period which is a bit scary. The economy is tough right now and I am hearing many small businesses saying the same. Fingers crossed we all get through it!! 🤞🤞🤞
For any small businesses out there…what things do you love/not so much about your business? I’d love to hear!!
Gorgeous 📷 ❤️

I’ve been enjoying painting my abstract landscape collection so much. They’ve become a bit of a go to when I just fancy some gentle escapism. They seem to appear quite organically and I trust the process entirely, choosing colours depending on my mood and experimenting with different marks to create texture.
Some have been inspired by photographs and others are purely imaginary. It’s so nice to see them all together and remember different phases. I started off with gentle pastel shades, almost ethereal water scenes, and more recently have been drawn to brighter colours and creating more depth with the idea of fields and mountains.
I love that a collection can just keep growing and evolving and take new directions every so often. Working with watercolours and oil sticks are two very therapeutic mediums as they have a spontaneity of their own and they really lead the way. I feel like they are guiding the paintings without any preconceived ideas of the end result.
I am hoping to add some to my website for sale very soon so let me know if you have your eye on one. Would love to hear your thoughts on the collection so far.
