Watercolour and grey ink
Sold
I created this little piece of old boxes and a rusty old tin that was left in a shed when we bought our home. I kept them knowing that one day I'd draw them and I just love their designs.

Golden tree
Langton Prestige 100% cotton
12 x 9 inches
Ink

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.
Heralding Christ's birth
Heraldry
Pen on A3 paper
This started as a little sketch to design a greeting card for Christmas.
I found more designs I liked and ended up filling up the entire page!
I used the Seraphim image for a lino printed card together with the words the angels sang when heralding Christ's birth "Glory to God in the highest and on earth peace, goodwill toward men".
Before Christmas I went to the PreRaphelite Exhibition at Tate Britain and was struck by the red Seraphim on the wall tapestry. Have you ever noticed the pink Seraphim painted on the Octagon ceiling in Ely Cathedral?

Sunshine and shadows
Hazelnuts
Watercolour on paper made in India
No the nutcrackers didn't have to come out for these, as they were duds. Still, nice enough to paint.

Eating an apple
Moleskine Sketchbook
One day during stewarding at the Exhibition I decided to try out a new hatching design I'd seen.
So as I ate my apple I created this little series of drawings.
Flower Shop
Flower Shop
Pen & ink with Watercolour
A3
Sold
This painting is of a specific flower shop, but because the recipient isn't getting it for a while I've removed the name which I'd put in the top left hand corner. This is a photo, I got it scanned but it bleached out the pale pink.
