The world feels very dark atm but we must keep making art ❤️

This one’s nearly finished and for sale soon. It will be my first finished large painting in 2 years (loads on the go) I’m not sure how to part with art like this that’s one of a kind.

This one was last week when I was jazzing up the space more.
It’s all moved around since but this is my favourite set up.

Recently got this piece of furniture from marketplace but I did have to admit defeat that it didn’t fit in the hallway where I planned to put it but it does look stunning in my bedroom.

Featuring my beautiful print by printmaker @eskamarsh
I feel so very lucky.

Why do I feel so jealous of everyone on instagram but just happy and proud of people on here and Substack?

Anyone else?

Trying to figure out a new set up for my easel in our living room/music room/art studio/. As my kiwi friend is visiting/staying with me all summer.

the plant also produced a new leaf today! 🍃 it’s all happening here.

This is by farrr one of my most popular greeting card designs. I made it when I did a printmaking course in Nz cause I missed printing sooo much at the time.

I’m thinking how nice it would be to make print an edition now I’m back in the uk.

Tiger tiger.
Frustrated at none of my paintings going well last night. I almost gave up until I thought I best use up all the paint already on my palette otherwise it’s a waste mixing this lovely lilac. And so finally I painted something I didn’t hate! Horray.

The neighbours cat in my house, camping at the weekend. This one eyed moon/sun and oh yeah I put my back out again 😬

I love Substack, I prefer it but I don’t know how to get interactions there 🤔 any clues?

I added some eyes to this and i really don’t know… I just had the urge but it might be too bizarre and less serene.
Honest thoughts please? 👀

Happy Easter.

Here’s a design I made the other week. It’s based on the Easter tree my mum would always put up. With a few modern twists.

Hopefully will make it a greeting card in time for next year.

We had our first breakfast sketch club today ☺️ just a group of artists meeting that didn’t really know each other, having brunch and sketching. It was lovely!

I forgot this cute little red greenhouse I saw the other day when I also came across a park I’d literally never been to in Bristol or even heard of.

It’s so friggen cute and I immediately see a cute illustration coming this way.

What a lot of blue backgrounds, flowers and suns in my living room studio corner.

I really like being surrounded by a lot of pretty things but my partner gets stressed out by the stuff. He craves minimalism and I crave Maximalism. 🤷‍♀️

My posting game today is to close my eyes and scroll through photo history and post the art I roughly land on.

This one’s my mural at @cafekino.bsky.social in Bristol.

Lying in bed eating ice cream. Snoozing. Not a single piece of art being done. Today is clearly not the day or this week the week for art to flow. That’s ok.

Here’s one from the archives celebrating winter solstice.

I took on the task to post out someone else’s artwork crowdfunder prints for where I work and it is just taking me forever and ever to complete all the steps to it. They sit in envelopes with addresses waiting to go to the post office.. it’s been weeks 🫣

I thought I’d admit this in a safe space

This one.. I just have no idea. I kinda painted it as I imagined the magic pools in the magicians nephew which was one of my favourite books/story tapes as a kid.
Still to finish.
