With the exception of family duties, my recent linen-lust inspired painting frenzy is only broken by one thing at the moment – Alphabet hunting.
I’ve joined a fun ‘Alphabet Competition’ group on Flickr that is uploading alphabet photos. I have interpreted the subject in the most literal way imaginable – by scouring the city for [...]

Just finished a big, big painting.
Now I can go have some chocolate. Hahahahaha.

This is the second idea for a series I have at the moment. Notes around the way people can be animalistic in their interactions with others. Anthropomorphism is actually the way we embue the inanimate with personality or feelings, or attribute human feelings and personality to animals. It’s ‘making things human’. [...]

Number II in my as-yet-unnamed series.
Still loving the linen and all that it does for the texture and serendipity of paint coverage in this series. I’m enjoying overlaying different colours and scaping back to cover and reveal. So thrilling.
In fact I got so excited yesterday that I made good headway on the next [...]

The theme for IllustrationFriday this week is communication. I started drawing telephones, and people having intimate conversations, and then thought – actually, for the most part, there’s a hell of a lot of us, communicating very intimately, but impersonally via the computer.
I love my mac – and all that it brings into my life [...]

With one painting completed, another 2 well underway and a few more sketched and ready to go, it strikes me that I’m into another series. These works are a departure from the geisha girls. I’ll have to think of a title for the new series. Things are buzzing around in my head [...]

New work – titled ‘Summmer in the City’.
I can’t express how much in love I am with the process of stretching and painting on my own Linen canvases. I’m sure it’s becoming quite boring to hear about – but it’s just so rewarding, and the surface is amazing to paint on as well. [...]

This week I am feeling like I’m coming out of another little cocoon.
It happens like this; a week or two of struggle, feeling I’m doing nothing right – making some hideous errors, being grumpy with my patient husband, flailing by the canvas – trying anything, spending too much time on the internet as [...]

Finally, after almost 2 weeks of waiting, my new paint has arrived. Buying it over the net was quite a saving from my local art shop. Next time I do it though, I’ll know that I need to be more prepared. I got down to my last scrags of a few colours, [...]

I’m experimenting with having animals in paintings lately. I do like animals – though I don’t have any pets (2 goldfish doesn’t really count does it?). I like the calm a domestic animal can bring to your space, and the way they can open you up to frivolity.
Dogs are glorious, and I love [...]
