Gosh its been a while but my excuse is that I have had a year of ill health and a long stay in hospital. however every cloud has a silver lining and i have been able to paint if nothing else and this has enabled me to spend almost a year developing work whilst I recover.
I have a website which shows most of my work but it is now split into illustration and fine art.. the fine art for Art galleries and illustration work sold online

Here are some examples of the fine art .. I became a bit obsessed about food due to the fact I have had to eat well to try and help myself..

So here are some of  the outcomes of fine art work..
new galleries in Cornwall London and Norfolk Kirkudbright Argyll Dunbar and new ones next year

and here are some samples of illustration work

JANUARY 2015

Well this year has kicked off to a nice start although  my health is not so great I am trying to build up some kind of business that can be done from home and painting full time seems to be the answer.
I have just signed a contract with the lovely Scottish Publishers Tartan 2cv who are publishing some of my artwork http://www.tartan2cv.com I am hoping that these will be available for people to buy in another few weeks. I am also taking part in an exhibition at the Juno Gallery http://www.junogallery.com May and June if you would like an invite please get in touch with them they are very friendly. 

I'm going to be good and start to publish a bit of news every month.. so sign up and watch this space...

Happy In - between

I like this time of year the in - between time, the time  between Christmas and New Year.. everything is so quiet. Everyone has stopped rushing around and everyone is waiting for the next celebration and thinking of the hopes and dreams of the year to come. All of the Christmas madness is over and all is still... its a kind of magical time.. dont you think?

Brand Licensing Europe

Well it was a great event and Iv made lots of contacts and hoping to report new exciting things soon. However one thing I can report is I have a new agent who I met at the show

Two New Themes

Two new themes I'm working on this year are out of shape buildings and domestic kitchen designs these are aimed at art licensing and I will be developing these ideas for Olympia

Some design ideas Im working on.

I'm always working on ideas sometimes I just go half way with them leave them and go back and develop at a later stage, so for these kind of ideas I work small. Ill come back to these later in the year and show you what Iv come up with..

Dont forget the wee ones on Valentines day !!

 Just cos I'm wee doesn't mean I don't have a big heart.......


" Little bird BIG  heart"

Im working like mad filling up my new Etsy shop with originals this month so please visit from time to time if you should so wish!
Iv  suddenly got a lot of requests for artwork which I'm so happy about, some for paintings of all sizes  some from galleries for bigger work some for textiles.All this makes me very happy. I'm also putting the finishing work on the illustrations of a children's book too so busy days ahead for me... but that's how I like it to be after all I could be doing this full time soon.
Next month I shall be starting work on a whole new portfolio of designs to be launched at Brand Licensing in London in October. I may, if  all goes well be posting little tasters of work from time to time.. its going to be a busy year so please stick with me for the journey..

LOVE LOVE LOVE

As we are heading for the month of love I thought I would paint some little mini  illustrations with this theme for my shop.

Iv a heap of new work to start and projects to think about. My days are going to be filled with developing ideas, Iv lots of exciting things on the horizon...

                                  

THOUGHTS OF WARMER DAYS

I am sitting here thinking about and longing for warmer summer days and the best way to imagine them is to start painting them..... !
