Faeries Chant


Aqua Faerie

Super Nova




Fire Faerie

Super Cosmos


These Four Panel is part of my cosmic faerie series.
I have a passion for outer space and sexy faeries

Acrylics on Canvas

Princess Faerie release your sparkle to spur the spring in to bloom
See the Fire Faerie in the Sun, She beats her wings to flame the Supercosmos
Hear the Aqua Fearie in the eve when she sends her dew to cool the ground
One little chorus before earth turns cold, In the Supernova it it winter once more.

Harold Hare Continues...



After the enjoyment of doing Harold and the Bee
I decided to do some more... I think I will call it a day there
As much as I enjoyed doing it... People kept saying you would make a brilliant
illustrator artist, This is not the direction I want to go with my art.

A New Dawn


A New Dawn
Acrylics on Board

This painting came out of no where I had been looking at a photo of a field of poppies
I went to my studio to paint and suddenly this concept came into my thoughts
I have been trying for years to paint in dabs a little like Monet, I love Monet's work but find
it hard to paint like him. So the sky is dabs but the landscape is bold sweeps of the brush
with vibrant colours ' a new dawn has begun'
While I painted this I thought of my mother, she never knew art would dominate my life so
much I wondered what she would have made of if all, would she have liked my work,
supported it or thought it was a foolish waste of time and money, I will never know...

Beep Beep


Funky Moped

Mini Trio

I feel it's good to be versatile, my father always said he was a 'Jack of all trades and a master of none'
Bit like me really, I seem to dabble is so many things but never quite becoming the master of it!
I was introduced to Pen and Wash in my watercolour course, I knew the technique so didn't bother to wait for the rest of the class, just jumped in two feet first with the generosity of a fellow class mate who gave me the correct pen, sadly my art is a luxury hobby and I can't always afford all the toys!
After a series of paintings I did these two to try something different, the Moped's came from a photo taken by a friend in Thailand and the Mini's belong to acquaintance..

Elephant Family


Teko


Sibling Rivalry



I painted some more Elephants this time on small canvasses one of Teko the baby, he is also the one on the left of 'Sibling Rivalary' .. Teko is a young bull elephant, his mother Sahha and his older sister Jenny.

Sahha has to walk between the two siblings because Jenny has played a little to rough with Teko, She is 5 years older then her little brother and doesn't know her own  strength yet

 I decided to leave painting Elephants there and conclude the elephant phase, for some reason these paintings are not commercial and have not sold

Elephant Period


Mali - Bull Elephant


Sahha - Cow Elephant

In The first month of this year I had a period painting Elephants, I can't say they are my all time favourite animal and I have never even touched one, something I would love todo more so ride one!
However, there is something about the roughness of the skinm there size and beauty that attracks me to painting them
I did  these two on Daler board in Acrylic and love them both very much.
