The drawing has taken a back seat for a while but I'm loving cross stitch, the creativity of pattern making and then the zen of stitching. #running #irishartist #crossstitch

I took a break from drawing for a while but have still been flexing my creativity. I decided to try out cross stitch and made this pattern of my old pug Buddy. Buddy is dumbfounded by my talent.

A really rushed toad but hench tonight but I'm trying to stick to the promise I made to myself to draw or paint something everyday no matter how small.

Todays toad attempt was inspired by daughter after a very cold swim in the lake.

A quick toad pencil sketch to keep up my pledge to draw everyday. I was short on time yesterday so just kept it simple. #irishartist #pencilsketch #toads #draweveryday

Todays toad inspired by my really tough run this afternoon. Sometimes I run and feel like an olympian other times I feel just like this toad. Today was definitely a toad run.

Another day, another sad toad. Trying to stay in the habit of practising every day even if it's just for a short time.

Feeling pretty flat and uninspired lately, not just with art but with everything really. Here's a toad I painted who I reckon feels a bit like me. #irishartist #watercolour #illustration #toads

I've been finding it hard to concentrate lately since I've been ill so haven't done as much painting as I'd like lately. I tried not to over think this with this dachshund and just go with the flow.

A wee cat dancing in the Spring flowers. My husband bought me a fountain pen and this was my first time trying it out, I'm a fan of the brown ink I think. #irishartist #watercolour #illistration #cats

A bit of a miserable looking watercolour painting inspired by inability to fall asleep at night. I didn't mean to make the colours quite so dull but I'm not sure how to make it brighter at this stage so it is what it is. #irishartist #watercolour #illustration #cats

Some little French bulldog watercolour paintings. I haven't really tried to draw a dog before this week so they are a bit crooked looking but we learn. #irishartist #watercolour #illustration #dogs

Don't cry over spilt paint 😭 I finished it anyway and smudged it up even more but the frustration is real. #irishartist #watercolour #illustration

My poor little dog injured her leg at the weekend so she's been on bed rest for the past few days. I've been keeping her company and just doing some quick little sketches heavily inspired by her to keep up with drawing something every day. #irishartist #illustration #sketchbook

I try to keep my posts positive but why do I dislike everything that I paint?! I really thought that this was the one I was going to love, I don't. It's incredibly frustrating. #irishartist #watercolour #illistration

A little watercolour cat that is set to become part of a bigger Spring painting. It's hard not to be inspired by Spring at the moment when it's so gorgeous outside. #irishartist #watercolour #illistration

A little sketchbook painting of a Spring rabbit. I've been in a little bit of an art funk for the past few days so to try and haul myself out of it I kept it simple and didn't overthink it. Really have to practice my line work though! #irishartist #watercolour #illistration
