Painting garden fairies in my studio

This Monday morning was particularly dreary and I thought a garden fairy painting would cheer me up. There’s nothing like bright colours and some magic to lift the spirits.
A Garden under the sea

It’s fascinating to imagine gardens under the sea, where strange plants and creatures live below the waves and where boats sail above oblivious of the world beneath. I believe it has been said that although humans have travelled to the moon and sent rockets into outer space the depths of the oceans haven’t been fully […]
A Winter woodland scene

I love this time of year because I have the freedom to create new work. We had a cold snap recently which inspired this painting. When I am out walking through the forest and woods I can imagine the the little animals keeping warm in their burrows.
A Partridge in a pear tree

I’m fond of this Christmas design “A Partridge in a pear tree” which I created a few years ago. This design shall also be available as a bauble, Christmas card and print; it can be viewed in my Christmas gallery.

RHS Wisley with Craft in Focus

H-Art week Hereford and a new painting titled Hamlet

RHS Malvern Autumn show

Pegasus at Cape Cornwall

Cape Cornwall has to be one of my favourite places; it’s so wild and the atmosphere is magical. Here is Pegasus galloping and nearly in flight on the cape.
