Golden tree

Langton Prestige 100% cotton
12 x 9 inches
Ink
Gifted
 
This started as a grey ink drawing with bamboo stick, encouraged to paint the background in gold ink and it all went from there.  This photo doesn't do it justice but it really 'glows' :)

From a sketch I did last year of a condemned tree.

Hen Party

Watercolour
Sold
 
This painting caused quite a stir in the Spring Exhibition of Ely Watercolour Workshop.
One lady was convinced I'd sneaked round her house and painted her chickens without permission.  Day after day she came in, making us giggle.  My friends who had seen my hens tried telling her they were mine and even told her the names of them.  I don't think she was ever convinced!

Sunflower Meadow Prickwillow

Watercolour
Hahnemuhle Paper 20x50cm
For Sale

Where I was painting this I couldn't believe it that people thought it was OK to come into the field and take sunflowers for their vases!  I loved the tractor coming by.
