  • Starting a New Series of Work

    Starting a New Series of Work

    I’m feeling really excited about my art at the moment. And much of that excitement has to do with a new project I’m working on. After finishing my Beach Life series, I was in that frustrating phase of exploring lots of ideas. The exploration is a lot of fun!  But I was struggling to settle…

    Summertime and the Living is Easy

    It’s been a while since I posted a blog so apologises if you’re one of my followers.  Since starting my monthly newsletter programme I’m finding it a challenge to keep up with social media, blogs, newsletters and website updates.  Sadly my website and blog have missed out as a result.  But over the next few…

  • Art Commissions

    Art Commissions

    In April’s studio newsletter I talked about the fact that I had recently finished some commissions.  Selling a piece of your art is always such a buzz. But commissions are very different from selling something you have already created.  There is an element of risk that kicks in when you know you are creating art…

    In Funk

    I haven’t written a blog post in a few weeks and whilst a lot of that is due to lack of time, if I’m honest I just feel like I’ve lost my painting mojo.  I know everyone experiences times when their drive and passion to paint is missing. And I’ve had dips in the past,…

  • Spring Break

    Spring Break

    This week we have a break in CVP and I have to say I feel like I really need it.  Judging by the comments on social media I haven’t felt as overwhelmed as some of the other participants. All the same, keeping up the pace of tutorials, group & coaching calls and painting practice has…

    Brrrr – It’s April!

    Well, despite the freezing cold weather there does seem to be a lot more optimism around at the moment.  Who would have thought that we’d be so excited about meeting people outdoors in April!  I just hope the news coverage of the AstraZeneca vaccine doesn’t put people off having the jab.  I had mine a…

    Happy New Year

    Happy new year!  I hope everyone made the most of the Christmas break and whilst the festive season may have been a little different it was good to see family, even if on a very limited basis. 12 Day Christmas Art Challenge I was lucky and had a full two weeks off work so managed…

  • Well that was unexpected!

    Well that was unexpected!

    Back in May, my parents presented me with a torn a page from the Daily Mail asking for entries for a painting competition.  I have to say, the Daily Mail isn’t my newspaper of choice so I was a bit sniffy about entering. But then I thought, What the hell? The competition theme was Glorious…
