Owls



Before Christmas I worked on a set of 3 canvases for a friends daughters bedroom,







Her favourite theme for everything at the moment, is owls! 
So meet the owl family that I have created for her!

(Apparently she was one very happy customer indeed, 
which makes it all the more special for me!)








These canvases, as with all my canvas work are actually painted using household 
tester pots, which I mix and apply as I would any other paint! 
And unlike my usual illustration work, 
here I apply my "Inky Stick," at the very end, rather than first thing!







This is how she has displayed them as a set.

Little Tiger Press Gift Books


So thrilled to see the release of my books with Little Tiger Press to start the 
New Year!



A set of 6 gift books, beautifully written by Josephine Collins, with warm, uplifting messages, 
and illustrated by myself, with 144 illustrations of mine in total  : )



Here are 4 of the artworks from the first book that I worked on for them, 
"To Mum, with love"




Each book has a unique style of cover with a padded fabric icon, and work very well as a set.

Other titles include,
"To a wonderful daughter"
"I love you"
"To a very special Granddaughter"
"To Dad, You're a star"
"New Baby-Congratulations"





You can imagine how excited I was when I opened this : )




Big thanks to LTP for making this happen, 
Im very proud of the range, and look forward to working with them again.

Beach huts and bunting



I have been working on a piece of art for some friends
 who have recently moved to a new home by the sea.





And for me, any excuse to paint beach huts. . . 





or seagulls, is good enough for me!





and Im rather cuffed with this piece, and so were my friends! 

: )





"Happy New Home"
