paintings prints and stuff

Bosworlas farm from the valley.  Watercolour and mixed media. Just a quick post to prove that I have been working!   Life has been a bit hectic. The Cornish farmhouse where we stayed one year, on the edge of the moor, above a rushing stream that tumbles down to the sea a little further down at Porth Nanven, below, one of my favourite places.  This painting of the farm  is currently on show at Leicester Museum and Art Gallery on New Walk. Porth Nanven, the Brisons and Cot Valley Now to finish a painting I need done  urgently ......

Pirate map Really busy with lots of projects and painting.   This is a one ticked off the long list - a pirate map for my grandson.

Charlie's Ark, on a full size sheet of watercolour paper using a mix of Derwent Artbars, Caran d'Ache Neocolor II, Inktense and Derwent watercolour pencils, with a little pen and ink. Another Christmas present virtually finished.    (Thank you to Picasso for that dove)  :>)  Some last bits to tweak maybe but almost done.

Necklace in anthracite coloured beads, with pink and mauve lucite flowers, just put intomy Etsy shop I thought I really ought to put some things in my Etsy shop. I've neglected it for ages.  So, along with a few others, this necklace has just been added.   If you fancy taking a look, click here .  This one looks great with black clothes. I'll get around to adding some small paintings and prints soon. the whole necklace and others ..... there are more ....

 Waves on the rocks, very quick sketch in S&B delta sketchbook A very quick sketch of the waves breaking on rocks a little way out.   I just love moving water.

Alnmouth beach, a rainy morning, mixed media in S&B Delta A4 sketchbook Passing showers meant that I worked sitting in the car, from a car park with great views of the sweep of the beach and the gorgeous clouds. Again mixed media, with a lot of watercolour involved.  Because it was autumn, we were travelling to the north and weather was likely to be changeable, I made a decision on this trip to leave my oils at home,  They just aren't practical if it's necessary to work in the car.  I had some non-slip matting that meant my water pot, balanced on the dashboard,  didn't land on me - useful stuff though I don't know what it's called. I absolutely loved Northumberland, beaches, castles, hills .... so much drama.
