Maggie
Last week I showed you my photo for an upcoming painting of a lively springer spaniel
and TA-DA!
… here she is all finished. A mix of watercolour and acrylic. So she can now sit side by side with her sister Lily.
Wedding invitations
I have just delivered these to a lovely couple getting married this summer. They wanted a vintage floral theme using sage greens and pastel pinks. The stationery comprised of day and evening invitations, an RSVP postcard, and all tied with bakers twine and a scalloped, hand-stamped tag.
Last year I painted a lovely lady called Lily - a chocolate Labrador. She now has a very excitable Springer Spaniel sister called Maggie, who I am also about to paint. But first we needed some photos…
Whisper the pony
My painting of a handsome pony, commissioned by a local lady for her daughter’s Christmas present.
Family Photoshoot
A recent shoot with my friend Nicola and her gorgeous family. Thornley Woods provided us with a fabulous autumn backdrop and the little ones were ace, striking some fabulous poses for me. The littlest one had a definite liking for my camera, a future Annie Leibovitz perhaps!
… had a very shiny nose!
Just completed my new Christmas card range, each individually hand drawn and hand stamped. There are four in the range: Red Nosed Reindeer, Partridge in a Pear Tree, Little Donkey and Rockin Robin.
You can buy them from me direct, or come and find me at a Christmas Market.
Vintage Shakespeare Photo Album
I was recently commissioned to create a bespoke photo album, customised with pages from a vintage copy of Romeo and Juliet (a 1923 complete works edition printed for Selfridges to be exact) and little hearts made from fabric remnants, inspired by my LOVE canvases.
Created as a gift from a groom to his bride, how lovely!
Line up
My film cameras.
Vintage pearl and lace
Belle Bridal magazine are currently featuring my recent photoshoot, styled by Your Personal Touch.
Shooting in the wine cellar at Jesmond Dene house lent us an intimate romantic ambience (though I was slightly concerned I might knock over one of the suitably expensive bottles!).
Sam
Another canine commission, and what a fine beast he is.
He’s quite dinky at 6”x4” (the picture, not the dog, folks).
