It's been so long...

Hi everyone,
I do hope that i still have some followers & that you are all well?
I can't believe that my last post was back in 2012..where does the time go?
A lot has  happened some very happy & some very sad. Last year i turned 40 in august & this was a very happy time..the year was filled with celebrations & lots of happy memories made. One was having afternoon tea at claridges with my friend laura who also turned 40 last year. Another was going to the isles of scilly with my hubby & my two boys which was magical!
I am still painting or shall we say 'trying too'?! I haven't been doing as much painting as i was as life just got in the way really but now i am back full steam ahead. I do enjoy it so & find it relaxing & rewarding if someone falls in love with one of my paintings.
So i plan to put my paintings on here & would appreciate some feedback as to what you think.
They will also be sale so who knows you may fall in love too?

I look forward to catching up with you all this year..bye for now. x

Shed come studio...

Our little shed has been many things in it's lifetime..a summer house..a shed & now a studio!

Well it is still a shed as storage space is precious at 'snowdrop cottage'..but a little corner of it has now become my studio. Somewhere i can paint without having to put everything away everytime i paint.

Hubby has made sure everything is water tight by refelting the roof& insulting it so it is now nice & snug!

My jugs of brushes & a picture of my dear freind julie to help inspire me.

Some of my many pictures again for inspiration.

A girl has to have bunting!! Now i have covered my work bench in a matching oil cloth incase of spiliges!!

Here is the piece i am working on at the moment..almost done pics to follow.

And not forgetting my little helpers who sit at mummys feet while she paints!

Busy painting...

Morning everyone & what a beautiful morning it is too here in essex.

It was based on a picture i took when walking on the coastpath on the Roseland Peninsula.
