New original watercolour paintings : big shop update

Published 27 days ago • 1 min read

Hi Reader,

My new online gallery shop is go! David and I have reworked it and I've loaded a lot of new artwork, from Statement Pieces through Studio Originals and even some Tiny Art. All inspired by the places and things I love.

I'm able to ship watercolour paintings to most places in the world.

Here's a tour...

New : Feathered Friends

My studio is filling with sketches and paintings of birds in flight. I started with my swallow friends that swoop and chatter around home, and the collection is now growing to include other feathered friends. My focus is on movement - birds sweeping, flying, darting. Remembering the the rush of wind as a swallow darts past, the sudden burst of energy as sparrows or tits take off en masse when startled. Some of these new paintings are already in the shop.

Flower Power​
​
Summer flowers bursting out of a tangle of buzzing, colourful life. These paintings are energetic, vibrant and a little wild. They express my joy in nature's variety and resistance.
​
Coneflowers, poppies, chicory and more.

Early Morning Walks​
​
Memories from hikes alone in the hills and forests just minutes from my back door. Capturing early morning freshness, sparkling dew, and glowing dawn light.
​
These are gentle, meditative paintings.

Studio Originals​
​
Smaller, more affordable artworks. Made with just as much love and joy.

These paintings are lovely way to start collecting original work, or to give something personal at Christmas.

Priced from €150.

Thank you for following along and for supporting my work. It means more than I can say.

P.S.
If you know of someone who would interested in this, then please forward it on. Thank you!

Artist. Tutor. Sketchbook traveller

Helping others capture their memories in colour is one of the greatest joys of my artistic journey. On watercolour art retreats and in workshops I've watched people grow braver, laugh louder, make friends, and fill pages with art they never thought possible. I'm right there alongside them — and it's magic.

Hi Reader, I'm just back from Italy and my final retreat of this year. We had a full week of painting, laughing, exploring and eating! Hotel Leone, our 500 year old palazzo, was just beautiful and it was a delightful surprise how pretty the little hilltop town of Montelparo is - cathedrals, cobbled streets, towers and old city walls, plus sweeping vistas from the Sibillini Mountains down to the Adriatic Sea. An inspiring location to spend a lifetime, and the week just rushed by.It's...

Hi Reader, My last retreat for 2027 is filling, and I'm running an early bird offer: book before 10 September and I'll include 12 months free subscription to my Patreon, Adventures in Colour. Cabo de Gata - Sept 2027 Andalusia — Spain. Volcanic, semi-arid, bleached and burnished. This is a week for filling a sketchbook in a landscape that will genuinely surprise you — not just as a traveller, but as a painter. I've had some questions since the last email... What experience do I need? All...

Hi Reader, My four retreats for next year are all fully booked. Which tells me a lot of people are already planning 2027. So today I'm announcing my last retreat for next year - and it will be in Spain! I've been living in Spain for four years, and next September I'm finally bringing a group here. It's taken me this long to find the right place and the right people to run it with — and I think it was worth the wait. We're going to Cabo de Gata, in the far south of Andalusia. A natural park of...
