The Yule ornament collection is live ✨
Do you have a favourite? :)
Painting these was the highlight of my November, art-wise. I hope they'll bring some magic to people's homes this Yule 🎄

Had a little cycling accident on Monday (those autumn leaves are as treacherous as they are beautiful). All is well, but my wrist & elbow are a bit dodgy. Yesterday it was just fine to draw, but today the joints complain. Hence today is rest day 🥲

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

You'd think it was strategic planning to mail potential clients on Halloween with creepy art, but now--I meant to reach out in September and procrastinated 👻

Shop update! Added the Hazelthorn cover plus this alternative version that got killed along the way but I still like a lot 🖤

If anyone has good photographs of European goldfinches that they're happy for me to use as painting references, I'd be so grateful. Thank you. 💛

Please share among birders, if you would! 🙏🪶

I've been enjoying painting small relaxed watercolours of the surrounding countryside lately. This piece was inspired by a walk in Falkland, when the rosehip leaves had just started turning.
