New Mini Matted Paintings

-

Hi there! I'm back in studio action again from this week and I want to start by showing you a new section I have in my Etsy shop. :)
It's called 'Mini Matted Paintings'. I decided that I'd like to make some more affordable artwork to sell so these are slightly smaller than my usual ones. I don't know about you, but I find that smaller artwork is more difficult to display on its own so to make these paintings more substantial, I've mounted (matted) each of them so that they're ready to either display as they are, or alternatively you can put the ready-matted painting into a glass frame too to hang on your wall!

I have 3 paintings in this size so far and as I make each one, I'll add it to this section. I'm in the middle of making another one right at this moment so stay tuned!

Beautiful picture! I love all the patterns.

Flora Bowley is doing a boot camp over at her blog for September and at the end of the month she giving away 10 spots on her on course, you just have to link up what your doing if you go over to her blog it has all the details
I don't have the money to do her course either at the moment and with a one year old I don't have the time. I have no baby sitters to help out so I do thing creative things when I can :) but I thought the boot camp would be fun giving my self bit of a spring clean;) and to check out other artist around the world too :)

More Cottages During Lockdown and a Change in Medium.

I've been thinking about why I'm drawing cottages lately.  Maybe it's because there aren't many people around where we live and on our daily walks we rarely come across anyone else which I suppose is a good thing as we're still in Lockdown and have to practice Social Distancing which has now become a very well used phrase in our language! Maybe it's this lack of seeing people around that my mind is turning towards houses and flowers? The ones above are done in ink. I love the pearlescent inks, they're so beautiful when they catch the light. The paintings above and below are painted in acrylic. I've been obsessed with watercolour for a few weeks but I felt I'd like to get some acrylics out again. I've always been like this, going through phases of being obsessed with a particular medium thinking yes this is it! This is my final medium and then finding myself being drawn to changing once again to a different way of wor...
