I’ve been working on these jewel coloured flowers. The colours of these anemones remind me of summer warmth. Their leaves are just starting to come up in the garden despite the continuing cold. I was working from photos I took last year. Their strong colours require a nice dark background.

Snowy stream. Another snow event inspired painting

Call from Period Living glossy
The glossy magazine Period Living rang yesterday to ask for some high res. images of flower paintings to include in an article about someone’s very beautiful house. Flattered! April issue..can’t wait!
Let it Snow…
Happy New Year to all! It’s been wonderful to have so many opportunities to stare at snow covered landscapes and trees frosted with freshly fallen snow as if sprinkled with icing sugar. The contrasts are amazing in a snow covered scene. Shapes become simpler and easy to read…the monochrome effect helping you to understand the relationships between dark and light. I’ve not been brave enough to go out there and paint in it but the snow has inspired some painting indoors.
