Lovely walkies with my girl on Sunday to the highest point in the Cotswolds. Neon moss, signs of spring and saying hello to two of my favourite trees and the Citroen in Breakheart Plantation…

I’ve just dropped off three new pastel drawings which are for sale at @swiftartanddesign all inspired by my walks across beautiful @cleeve_common . The light up there is so magical ✨
The Twins at Half Light – Capturing the quiet just before dawn and featuring the iconic twin beeches with the lights of Cleeve twinkling below.
Cumulonimbus on Cleeve – We were treated to the most dramatic cloud show one evening last summer and I just had to get this huge cloud down on paper! ☁️
Sunset from the Scarp Edge – We get the best views looking west from the highest point in the Cotswolds, but for me, a sunset needs clouds to truly show off.
Don’t you agree? 🌅
Which one is your favourite?
Pop into Swift to take a closer look!

Watercolour students painted abandoned buildings and places last week. We looked at creating atmosphere in our paintings. Lovely work!

We rounded off the term at art classes yesterday with the ultimate challenge - drawing a person! Super impressed with everyone’s drawings. A really difficult task! Well done everyone and thanks for modelling @manmadeimage and @alexvass_model #lifemodel #portrait #drawingpeople #artclassnearme #learntodraw
Fantastic animal sketches at art classes yesterday. We used charcoal, white pastel and conte crayons on midtone paper. Not easy! I think everyone did so brilliantly. What a menagerie!

Lovely commission I had last year to paint a brides bouquet. This was a wedding gift and what a wonderful idea! As there was a lot of white in the bouquet, I chose to use line and wash to capture her gorgeous bouquet in all it glory. I loved painting this so much 🌷
If you’re interested in commissioning me to paint a bouquet as a gift I can do this in line and wash, watercolours or acrylics. It’s such a wonderful idea for a present and the perfect way to capture a memory of the day forever!
