I’m beginning a garden journal which will reflect the flowers and plants throughout the year, as reminder to me of the wonderful joy to come. #art #gardening #flowers #plants

I really enjoyed attending an art journaling course at @northeastnature_ the Natural History Museum in Newcastle today. I chose to do #fungi and there were some great artists there doing some fabulous work.

After finishing this painting I applied a wash over the whole thing, to calm it down and soften it. I wanted to fuse the petals into each other to make them softer. #watercolour #painting #art #flowers #flowerart

Finished this quite complex piece which I loved doing. I enjoyed creating the blooms in the paint which I wanted to give it an ethereal effect. #watercolour #painting #art

It felt cold in the studio today! I may be moving indoors soon. Today’s offering was tricky. The rose was the softest of peaches & so delicate. This is the enormous challenge of painting flowers. It’s very hard to mix the colour & even harder to model form whilst maintaining the delicate softness.

A few watercolours I’ve been doing. I’m just finding my feet with it all again really. Huge learning curve but good fun!

Sun Fly #art #insect #insectart #colour #pattern I’m enjoying doing these colourful series of drawings based on the fantastic insects I’ve spotted in my garden this year. I’m inspired by interior design, wallpaper patterns and colour swatches. As though an insect has flown into your posh living room
