News and snaps from my studio. Sometimes I write about new pieces that I’m working on that are not released yet. If I think of a tip or piece of advice that will help you look after your painting I’ll often share it here. If there’s something specific you want to find, there is a search box down below.
A Woodland Hare
This little hare painting in inks on canvas board was my first try in the medium. The inks move on the canvas in a new and delightful way. I love trying new things and I plan on taking things further!
Two Hares’ Racing and Chasing
My unique painting of two Mad March hares had an outing at the weekend, at Melbourne Festival.
They attracted a lot of stares! This painting is now for sale on my website - international shipping!
A painting of two hares for sale
This original piece is one of a series that features pairs of hares, surrounded by the magic of a wildflower meadow. I have two available pieces, and this one is’ March Hares’. Traditionally these could be called Boxing Hares, but in reality, this is more like two hares playing and having fun. The piece is quite unique, with all of the little flowery details. I came up with the idea while walking my dogs one morning last year, on one of those days when Spring is in the air and the wildlife is very much in evidence!
This piece is available for sale here
I have been working on some wildlife paintings, beginning with these new hare paintings. I enjoy the challenge of trying to capture their expressive faces. These most recent hare paintings will be available on my website in a few days. They are smaller pieces at 45 x 65 cm and 50 x 60 cm.
I spent the afternoon with this lovely hare, reference is courtesy of Frances Cricklow Photography. I will add whiskers when he is dry.
I have decided to offer my demonstration paintings for sale. These are the pieces I paint for my workshops, and they are all smaller pieces, around 45-60 cm. Having completed almost a year of workshops now, I have quite a collection of these paintings. I have been going through them all and making sure they are finished, and then as soon as they are all ready to hang and varnished etc, I will have a sale event. Watch this space!
I’m really enjoying these new colourful hare paintings, adding interest to their background in an intuitive way, it’s fun!
This is a wonderful way to handle the stress of the current situation.
This piece is from a lovely close-up reference photo, and I have used my imagination for the background and colour palette.
