A watercolour painting of a hare. I painted this as a commission for my neighbour's birthday, because he loves hares! It's been the top seller in my greetings card range.

Happy New Year all! Here is another reflection-based drawing I did a few years ago whilst laid up in bed with COVID.

'2024 Reflection'
It's the end of the year and a time of reflection, so it's quite apt that my last piece of art before Jan 2025 is one of glass marbles.
I didn't plan it that way, I just fancied a challenge 😊
Happy New Year everyone. I hope you have a healthy and happy 2025. 🙏🏼

A pastel dog portrait I did a few years back. Sadly the chocolate Labrador passed away a few weeks ago after leaving a paw shaped imprint on her owners' hearts.

Marker pen drawing of a vintage Knitting Nancy toy. I had one but never understood how to make it work so never achieved the knitted tail 🤣

This was a painting of my late friend Emma before she passed. She loved rainbows and unicorns.

I'd given my friend a lift to her doctor's surgery and whilst sat in the waiting room for her, I saw this adorable little boy handle the boredom of queueing with his mum. Appropriately this was later shown in a hospital exhibition so I called it: 'Emergence-See'

I think this is my favourite animal portrait to date. It was commissioned as a Christmas present a few years ago and is of a farm cat that was named 'Clive' 😆 It's a soft pastel drawing 11 x 11"

Continuing the building art theme (along with various modes of transport in the foreground) This is a marker pen drawing of an orange Messerschmitt driving through London. Inspired by a photo a friend took.

This is a watercolour I painted of a museum/replica of a 1950's French grocer's shop belonging to my friend's father. His own parents owned an Epicerie and so he converted a barn to create this in Vendôme.
As the French would ask: 'Qu'est-ce que tu penses?'

Another one of my favourite watercolours. This now hangs in the very pub that is depicted (in Rugby, Warwickshire) The owner is a huge fan of The Clash as you can probably tell 😁

A wallaby mum with her joey. Painted using watercolour pens. I loved seeing rock wallabies l in Oz in 2001.

Another of my latest pics. This time a marker pen pic of Gukje Market in Busan, South Korea. Complicated pics like this is pretty therapeutic like doing a jigsaw.

My first post as a newbie! I make lots of art and especially love working from photos I take such as this couple of dog owners deep in conversation in Amsterdam. This is done with watercolour pens. If you would like to see more of my art check out Instagram @lornabowdenart and/or follow me on here
