You know when your brain feels full of too many different things all vibrating & jumping about, like a kettle that's been whistling on a stove for hours & you feel like it could burst open at any moment & make a big mess all over the walls? That.

Fresh off my easel today. I don't know if I'm sympathising with her tiredness or if it's my tiredness that informed her creation... All I know is that we are both very, very tired.

Last night, this painting was destined for the bin. Looking at her now I don't even remember why! So much can change in 24 hours... Perhaps I should have something to that effect tattooed on my person...

Too extreme? Okay, I'll write myself a note.

Everything is temporary. Don't stop. Keep going!

My first painting of 2025 was another little postcard destined for an Art on a Postcard auction very soon!

Really enjoyed painting these little compositions on paper! I love working on such a small scale too - there's something so inviting and intimate about tiny art!

So delighted that my painting, 'Long Distance' is the winner of this year's Guildford House Open! I'm absolutely blown away!

Part of the prize is a solo exhibition in 2025 - I'd better get painting!!

Huge thanks to all the judges & congratulations to all the amazing artists who made the shortlist!

Hello to all you lovely new followers! I really appreciate you all!

My studio was out of bounds for a couple of months after a roof leak, but I'm finally back to work!

It's good to be making art again and great to be making friends on a new platform (which isn't owned by a lunatic!)

Hooray!!

I've recently been enjoying the simplicity of these coloured pencil compositions, both in terms of their minimal content and the materials used - Three pencils and a sheet of crisp white paper.

Also love the contrast of the detailed study followed by the uncomplicated circles of pigment.

Giving my self portrait a spruce before she goes on an adventure to Bristol this weekend - you'll be able to see her amongst a host of amazing work at this year's RWA open exhibition from September until January!
