 The three ships are alight on Brixham Harbour,  it's Christmas time! (In case you needed telling.) ;)  We've had some lovely moments of afternoon winter sun over the past few days.   But what does it mean when the cows are sitting down?  Rain!  It looks cosy inside this house doesn't it with the lights on through the windows?  The gamekeeper's cottage at Cockington hasn't been lived in for 100 years. Hopefully one day it'll be loved back to life. It's still beautiful to me.  So now it's time to go back home to dry off and get things ready for the busy days to come. Wishing you all a very merry Christmas  and a peaceful new year. xx

 Hello, I expect you're getting busier by the day in the lead up to christmas! If you have a little moment to spare amongst the madness, I'd like to show you my latest watercolour painting that I'm calling 'Queen Neptune'. She's available here if you'd like to see the details. (crop) (crop)  Could I have been inspired by my christmas fairy as I painted this? Or maybe by my recent visits to the sea? ..both probably! My Etsy shop will be closed this Wednesday evening,(17th December) for the christmas holidays and I'll reopen on January 1st.  I managed to squeeze in one last christmassy painting! This one is called 'Chance Meeting'. It's 10 x 8 and £30 (worldwide shipping, all currencies accepted.) If you'd like to see the details, please click here . I'll be back here soon, meanwhile, enjoy the run up to christmas! xx
