Lilypads of Monet.

Inspired by the incredible works of Claude Monet, this oil painting takes me into a dreamy place of calm and wonder.

Oil painting inspired by the bright gladiolus lining the harbour wall in Gorey, Jersey, with Mont Orgueil Castle in the distance.
This painting came from a week spent exploring long beaches, dramatic tides and the island’s incredible heritage — a place that’s hard not to fall in love with.

A view from St Helier, Jersey in May. Mixed media painting - Acrylic inks and Oils on canvas inspired by a photo I took.
Original photograph had two figures walking along the beach - should I add them? Will they enhance or detract?

⭐️ Which one do you prefer? ⭐️

Oil painting on wooden board. Self portrait with my best friend.

In the winter days / evenings - daylight is somewhat restricted in Scotland so I rely on artificial light.
The 1st photo of this painting was taken outside the 2nd was taken inside where I painted.
What a difference the light makes - what was warm and cosy is now cool and more vibrant.

This is the 2nd portrait painting I have done and already learning so much!

What do you think? I am learning so very open to all suggestions, comments and critique.

Thanks ☺️

🎨✨ A Portrait of Love and Legacy ✨🎨

This is my gran, Betty Crighton, captured in oil paint at age 86—a moment from a very special day we spent together for my birthday 7 years ago.

Betty isn’t just my gran; she’s my greatest inspiration. Her strength, creativity, and boundless love have shaped who I am in ways words can’t fully express. She’s the heart of our family, the reason I fell in love with pottery, and a reminder of the healing power of creativity.

This painting took me around 10 hours to complete. When I stepped back after the final stroke, I couldn’t hold back my tears. Seeing her vibrant spirit and kind eyes come to life on the canvas felt overwhelming—it was like reconnecting with everything she means to me.

This portrait is more than just an image; it’s a tribute to a woman who has taught me resilience, the joy of creating with my hands, and the beauty of life’s simplest moments. I’m so grateful for her love, wisdom, and all the precious memories we’ve shared.

Thank you, Gran, for being my anchor, my muse, and my forever role model. 💕
