Summer. The season to perhaps enjoy life’s simple pleasures! And this little person just loves her ice creams!

Life is for living.

When I painted these watercolours last year I wanted to give a nod towards the good things in life. The bowls of late night ice cream, cereal or comforting soup, cups of tea with friends and family, the late night beer.

I think we can all relate to home comforts especially over the last year. The teapot in my home came to symbolise copious amounts of tea which always reminds me of my close friends. The Polish bowls and cups, an eclectic mix of colour in my cupboards - deep enough to not need to go back for seconds!

I wanted to create a set of affordable prints to pass onto others. You can find them over on my website. Taken from my original watercolour paintings based on home life these quality art prints are printed on 140 gsm high matt paper and mounted in an antique white frame.

They are a comforting reminder of life as we know it and are ready made, well presented artworks to decorate parts of your home or give as gifts to friends as a reminder of the good things in life!

Postage and packaging included to mainland UK!

An ode to the G7! I often think that these global

An ode to the G7! I often think that these global gatherings as progressive as they are, seem at times to be so far removed from the reality of so many people. And when that happens it is so easy for others to take a lead whilst the audience take a back seat.

Our resources are finite it seems and there is much to do for us to change the globe. But I take consolation in the fact that if everyone did their bit, wherever they felt they were at, and with small steps we'd eventually get there.

I guess the challenge for us now is understanding what those little steps need to look like.

It feels like it’s been a while since I’ve posted!

I’ve been busy working on my learning platform which is hopefully set to launch within the next month. Plus always building in time to sketch and paint is part of my daily habit.

What I love about this commission, a beautiful home in Lincolnshire, is an ability to take a peek into other worlds. Something happens to your creative mindset when you draw and paint. Having a place to escape too, not just because of the image you convey, but by the very process you adopt from start to finish to create something is a powerful tool that supports well being.

Doncaster Civic Building. Or as my children fondly call it. “The book building” The cladding reminding them of books on a shelf.

More quick line sketches of some kitchen fundament

More quick line sketches of some kitchen fundamentals...I love the weighted iron cast pepper grinder that often acts as a paper weight for the post and the ornate cutlery that has long since slipped into the everyday draw. These can be drawn quickly in under a few minutes! I’m starting to prefer my small sketchbook these days!

How is it that one always ends up with more keys than doors?!

Still...I love drawing these. Simple. Odd shaped and not one the exact same as the other. Like fingerprints. The thought that all of our locked objects possess a unique blueprint that can only be unlocked by a specific key is a comforting thought!

Grandad’s shoes. Once a treasured pair of Church’s. Now treasured as part of a gardener’s wardrobe. Love doing these quick 5 minute small sketches in my notebook of random things across my day!
