I’ve had the best day ever today, I’m definitely going to sit out with the easel more!
I’ve really challenged myself with this watercolour using 4 colours (3 primaries and an earthy one 😜)
Here’s my effort. Might call it ‘The Other Bridge’ because guess who wandered off piste a bit 😂

Happy first day of September folks.
There’s a change in the summer air, it’s more crisper and the landscapes are taking on their autumnal hues.
I love this time of year and this illustration of Nicky Nook from my 2025 calendar was the perfect fit for this years September.

Happy Watercolour Wednesday!
Still on holiday and celebrating the magic of this medium all week. I love how letting go and allowing the pigments to ‘do their thing’ creates something so wonderfully unpredictable. It's a life lesson in every painting!

The simple brief? Blue sky, a bit of cloud, golden sands, and a few waves.
If you're looking to capture your own special swimming memory or favorite watery vista, I'll be taking on new commissions from July.
Get in touch if you’d like to to discuss your ideas!

Today I just needed a nothing day. A day of big fat brushes, wet paper and making marks with a credit card like a mad woman possessed.

I’m hoping someone somewhere can shed a bit of light on the artist behind this painting. It’s signed A Kilvington (we think it may be Anthony) I believe it’s the river Bela near Milnthorpe!
