Spring Flower Paintings
My new garden is much more easily accessible on crutches and I have started gardening, sitting on my bath stool! It's such a useful item. I have pansies, in the sun, cyclamen in the shade, and Lavender as I promised myself I’d have one. I’m hopingitr grows into a huge bush eventually.
All the flowers and sunshine have come out in my painting and I have enjoyed creating bright impressionist flower paintings this week. I have also added ‘Pansies and Peonies’ to my workshop offering, beginning in July!

Flying Barn Owl painting - Sold at the White Dove Gallery!
This piece was the last that I painted in my old home, where I was living downstairs in the one room, and painting from my scooter! I really enjoyed creating this one, trying to recreate the beautiful glow of his wings. This piece sold on his first day on display at the excellent White Dove Gallery, in Shenton. Im always delighted to exhibit and sell new work at White Dove, partially because the galleristsTtim and Lorraine have been the most wonderful support to me recently. I owe them a debt of gratitude, for sure
A new home beside the forest - and a new lease on life and work!
What a year last year was, and it led to a massive life change in mny ways. I now find myself living with my three girls in a lovely little house right next door to Sence Valley Forest Park. I have been here for a month, and have a new workspace right at home here. The greatest sound here (apart from the girls barking) is birdsong. The morning chorus is tremendous and we all go out into the garden and listen, using the Merlin app to identify unknown voices. You can hear birdsong echoing through the forest next door.
I had already begun a new series of bird paintings before the move, and the inspiration here is helping things along! And the sky here is wide and such a deep startling shade of blue in the evenings. I’m trying to recreate that stunning blue in some of my pieces.
I have returned to my love, oil painting now too, as I have a space that I can close the door on, in case of fumes. I’m really excited about what Im going to produce this year.

A Big Horse Canvas
My original painting is sold, and I have released the expressive horse picture ‘Mazarron. as a canvas print, in several sizes. A splashy piece full of texture and movement, I used inks to create a feeling of movement and energy flowing across the canvas. This is a Spanish horse, so I named him after the beautiful seaside town where Mum lives. Having been surrounded by horses all of my life, I enjoy painting the beauty and grace, I hope to create more in this series.
