Splashing Around
Another painting inspired by the sea. This is actually one of a pair but haven’t quite finished the second – hopefully I’ll get some time this evening to resolve that one.

I didn’t opt to continue with the paid course so can’t say whether I’d recommend, but the freebie is definitely worth signing up for. The exercise I enjoyed most was one of the first she suggested, … Continue reading Find Your Joy

I had a few old canvases lying around in my art room which were so thick with paint that I couldn’t easily reuse so thought I’d experiment with some collage. A lot less twee than my 30 day challenge. Continue reading Experimenting with Collage
