Sunday, August 21, 2016. The time it takes. Almost everyone who pages through my sketchbook asks 'How long does one of your paintings take? The answer is . around about 2 hours. That's a long time to sit in one spot! By sitting in a place for a long period of time I get to know it whole lot better. I get to meet people who stop and chat, and to take in the smells and sounds. I have enough time to become totally absorbed in what I do - a sort of meditation. Frassene Agordino, Italy. Gares, Dolomites, Italy.

Monday, January 30, 2017. January out and about. Calafornia Poppies, John's Creek, Lake Hawea. Although my sketchbook is never far away on pretty much every trip outdoors, I do also have a new SLR camera, a Nikon D5500, that has become my constant companion. I've had to start using a bigger day pack too, because along with sketchbooks and paints I now also have to carry a tripod, big camera and lens and filters. So far my 'models' have been very patient. Thank you! But I don't mind :-). Ready to hang....

Sunday, January 24, 2016. For some strange reason my studio is super tidy at the moment, so it's safe to share a few photos of my workspace. I recently got a lot of my artwork out of the various cupboards it was stored in and hung it all on one wall. I think I'm going to go crazy keeping everything straight! My sorting/drying/display table with filing cabinets underneath to store small works on paper. Acrylic paints, mediums and acrylic inks. Rest of the brushes are for painting acrylics. I started by pr...

Saturday, October 24, 2015. David and I love the Mediterranean. It suits me especially because I love the sea, but I'm a real scaredy-cat when it comes to waves. It's not that I'm not a good swimmer, it's just that I was born way inland and the sea, I believe, demands some respect! Here are some pictures from the trip. Pedra Longa - a limestone rock tower by the sea. We climbed this one morning. The other side to my sketch. Climbing on Pedra Longa. 7 lovely pitches with the waves crashing below. And they...

Initialled on the fro...

Tuesday, March 29, 2016. Solitude" - mixed media abstract landscape on wood. Our summer is drawing to a close, the trees are just starting to change colour and the mornings are crisp and clear. We've had just a touch of rain and some of the fields have a new flush of green. The days calmer, the sun less harsh and it's pleasant to soak up with sun in the afternoons. It's a lovely time of year. Mixed media painting on wood (untempered masonite). Acrylics, collage, vintage image transfers and pencil. Above ...

Friday, October 14, 2016. Life's too short to suntan. If you had said to us a month ago that we were beach people we would have scoffed. "You mean, like, lying in the sun, reading a book, on your tiny patch of sand, with a hundred other people. No way! Big swell at Playa Amio, Cantabria, Spain. Then we discovered some of the incredible beaches in Asturias and Cantabria, Spain, and we found we are, in fact, beach people. Especially because there weren't many other people ;-). David making sand art. We eve...
