Blue and White Carafe

This carafe is such a hardworker for me and features in quite a few of my still-life paintings.  I so enjoy painting it....  I'm pleased to say this pastel sold at my recent show at Mandell's gallery, Norwich.

Highly Commended

I am delighted to learn that 'Builder's Break received a 'Highly commended' at the Armed Forces Art Society, Mall Galleries, London.  :-)

Earl Grey Tea

Earl Grey was one of the paintings in my solo show at Mandell's Gallery in March this year.   It remains unsold but it is still available through Mandell's gallery in Norwich.

I am delighted to have these three contributions in the current edition of 'Artists and Illustrators' magazine :-) 

Despite my absence from the blog I have been busy.. (lots to show) 17 months after our house fire we are still busy with the re-build, which means I do not always have access to the computer to upload my images or write my pieces.  The studio is being in the process of being extended and the contents: easels, plan chest etc are all under tarpaulin.  I will have a brilliant space in which to work once everything is sorted but patience is astill the order of the day!

Lemon Tea

This little painting was in my recent show at Mandell's gallery, Norwich.  The cup and saucer were part of the crockery set in the holiday let we have been renting whilst our house is being re-built.  The couple who rented to us came along to the PV and joked about how many of their bits and bobs were used in my paintings :-)

Broken Heart

It is Valentine's day and I am aware that a broken heart is not in keeping with the sentiment... but my little cat climbed onto my set up and did her worse... just like life eh?

Bell flowers

It has been a while since I last uploaded a painting, but I have not been idle! It has been a busy time working towards my show at Mandells Gallery in Norwich and the day to day existence of re-building our home after the fire almost a year ago! I share this computer with my husband who spends most of his time project managing the build, hence things have had to slip somewhat.... lots of work to show you if I can nudge him out of the way!
