I think of myself as a work-in-progress, an illustrator fascinated with the magical in art, life and the everyday objects all around us.

Thank you Margaret! We used either a sharp blade or scissors. Just connect the crop marks to make sure that the lines are straight and that's it. Hope that helps!

Paint Sketches - Pot Plants, Ravens, Tree

I've actually managed to keep up with daily painting for the last 12 days. Miracle. Let's hope this continues as I'm enjoying this new exploration. The mornings normally begin with my having absolutely no idea of what I'm going to paint -- which is highly scary. Today I looked out... Continue reading

Watercolour Watering Can and Raindrops

I decided yesterday to split the sketchbook page into smaller rectangles and paint in those, just for a change. Did a little watering can, and then today painted some raindrops ... just because. And yes, I had fun. Might have to paint more today. This time I used Schmincke watercolours... Continue reading

Sketchbook: Tree Outlines Against Blue Wash

A quick and simple one today. I'd intended the background wash darker, and almost applied another layer but decided against it. The tree outlines are more subtle against the paler colours and I quite liked it that way. I might still try a darker version one day but for now... Continue reading

Curled-up Baby Rhino Sketch

Something a lilttle different today. Not sure if it's a prep sketch or finished, but I've gotten quite fond of it. Painted specifically for a friend of mine who has gone through an exhausting and painful physical ordeal; one of the things that kept her going was imagining herself curled-up,... Continue reading

Experimental Art Sketches

Just painting anything that comes to mind ... I can see that this is going to turn out pretty messy in the days to come and that there will be many many 'failures'. Then again, even those that don't pass my perfectionist inner editor make a difference and mean something,... Continue reading

Identity Crisis - Sketchbook Art

Full confession folks ... I'm going through a bit of an identity crisis at the moment. If there's such a thing as 'a bit' when it comes to seeing life and work in a completely different, new and fresh way! It started off as a rebranding process when I felt... Continue reading

Happy Mother’s Day Art

Happy Mother's Day! I was a bit stuck with the colours in this little painting, but was saved by a friend who came over and told me her favourite colours were a combination of deep blue and orange ... well thank you Victoria! So here's a Happy Mother's Day to... Continue reading

Woodland Fun for Kids of All Ages

Woodland Fun Duvet Cover My Woodland Fun illustration was originally painted in watercolour with kids in mind, for one of my MATS (Make Art That Sells) classes, but upon rediscovering it in the dark, dusty depths of my computer files, I decided that the kid within me really loved it....

Sketchbook: Blobs and Leaves

I have no idea of where this came from. A huge planning and organisational thing is going on here behind the scenes and it of course includes that daily painting habit that has been eluding me for some time now, and this just emerged when I picked the brushes up,... Continue reading

It was originally drawn in a sketchbook with my Staedtler pens, then... Continue reading

Painting Patterns - Chevron

I'm woefully behind with the Daily Painting Challenge -- I forget how much else I have to do! But that's ok, I fit it in whenever I can, and whenever I need to just zone out and relax. So here's my latest pattern, chevron, and I went for some earthy... Continue reading

Drawing Mandalas

For some odd reason mandalas have been floating around in the corners of my mind and insisting on being drawn out. There are now 3 sketched out -- and this one, which I'm calling 'Direction' has finally been cleaned up. The process of colouring in is normally thoroughly therapeutic but... Continue reading

I've been looking through older illustrations and designs, and as Valentine's Day is just around the corner (yes, it is!) my Loving You Is Easy typography design and accompanying hearts pattern seemed just the right thing to pick for today's throwback post.
