Listening to Pink Floyd immersed in memories of an old friend who is making his final journey today whilst I put the finishing touches to this Imbolc hare. Spring colours beneath a blushing full moon. Have a peaceful day wherever you are lovely Artisan friends ###

Capturing colour and atmosphere on this beautiful spring day! There's warmth in the sun streaming into the studio today as I add more elements into a very special commissioned piece. Our two new little dogs have settled in well and are a joy...softly snoring after their morning ramble in the woods. Have a wonderful day wherever you are ###

Owl lovers and nature lovers and art lovers! do have a look at Jade Taylor Artist . Her work us absolutely beautiful.

How do I say goodbye...

The glue pot is out today and tomorrow it will be back on the easel to complete the painting.

Really happy with the harmony of colour between the barn owl and prints against the baby blue linen. Think I am going to struggle to part with this one.

I don't feel quite ready to let it go.

'Sing me a Lullaby' - I have just finished putting the last touches to this pretty and serene hare. She's been waiting for my attention for quite a while now and yesterday it came to me! There's a beautiful songthrush that sings his heart out at early dawn just outside our bedroom window and again at dusk! It reminded me of early childhood when bedtime in the summer still felt like day and thrushes and blackbirds sang as I drifted off to sleep. It's a strong and beautiful memory along with the line 'come sweet slumber enshroud me in thy purple cloak' (oh, the colours!) and I hope it comes through in this creation. Hope you all love her and have a peaceful Sunday ###
*s 0 L d* she has found her forever home 🥰

Good afternoon everyone it's my first day in the studio for a week! Last Sunday we adopted two golden oldies to our little pack - their owner had sadly passed away and they desperately needed to stay together as they have spent all of their 11 and a half years of life with each other. The other family members all have cats so they were over the moon when we said we would take them under our wings. Well they have settled in beautifully, no jealousy from our existing daschund, just a gentle acceptance. We love them dearly. So...I have spent all my time with them all and making sure everyone is happy. Today I managed to pick up a paintbrush again (all dogs are sleeping and content whilst I paint) I have just managed to get a subtle amount of gold leaf on this Raven's Key Oak Keykeeper, just the hand forged nails to be added. Hope you like my Palmers Oak Raven and I hope you are all in your 'happy place' this Friday afternoon. Best wishes to you all ###
****Just to let you all know he has S O L D! 😲 he flew away so very quickly!!

Saturday Secrets Out!...'Portals'...I've just completed this trio and can now share them with you after all the little tantalising glimpses of hares I've shown you over the past week. Are they witches turned into hares or witches 'familiars'??? there are stories waiting to be told from each piece and each hare has her own character. A sprinkiling of magic and spring, I do hope you love them. I have certainly loved creating them. Have a wonderful weekend everyone
