A tiny collage picture (ATC size) which includes a reproduction of a detail from a larger painting. It is so strange how the tilt of the head, the surrounding colour etc. changes everything – she looked quite happy before!
The original portrait sold long ago but this new version is available as a print in various formats here.
A cheerful abstract pattern made of my decorated papers with additional paintwork. This painting was sold at an exhibition but it is available as a print, greetings card or phone case here.
Size of artwork 7.5×7.5 inches (19×19 cm).
A fun experiment in trying to get a sumi-e look on the iPad using the Brushes App. The sparrow ‘paintings’ were then printed on silk and added to a background of prepared papers in a collage.
Size 7×5 inches (18×13 cm)
A collaged pattern of pieces cut from prepared papers and stuck on a monotype background. The theme was suggested by a couple of the shapes but the pattern is abstract really and is one of an experimental set using simplified 3-tone versions of photographs as a starting point. 7×5 inches (18×13 cm).
I had this framed and Adam the framer said it was foxes so I renamed it Vulpes vulpes! But it’s still listed under the old title here.
Most of my current collages are made with decorated papers I prepare myself but this one I ‘made earlier’ has always been one of my favourites. The shape of the house is more-or-less as it should be but it was actually black and white. The collaged additions are not Caribbean!
Reproduction and iPhone case available here.
A small picture which evolved through collage and many layers of paint. The title comes I think from Mervyn Peake’s Letters from a Lost Uncle and always makes me smile. Image 6.75 inches square (17 cm square) on heavyweight watercolour paper.
A giggle! Collage and stamping on watercolour paper.
A layered painting with consequent texture. Essentially unplanned but pursued until I felt it was right. Size 5×7 inches (12.5×18 cm).
Another very small experimental piece in mixed media. Only 4 inches square (10 cm square). Rather accidental from start to finish but I was pleased with the colours.
An energetic scribble over a base colour-field painting. Great fun!
6×6 inches (15×15 cm) on heavyweight watercolour paper.
A tiny mixed media picture with an unusual form of cross. The design was taken from a very old pew-end carving seen in a Cornish church. The image is 4×4 inches (10×10 cm).
Hope the shepherds enjoy it! An abstract of red and blue measuring 7×7 inches (17.5×17.5 cm) collaged onto heavyweight watercolour paper.
A collage with one of the prepared papers featuring a blind contour drawing. Image 8.5 inches square (21.5 cm square). Lightweight decorated papers on heavy watercolour paper.
Well, no – it’s not really an elephant, I agree! But at a quick glance it might be! A mixed media piece including some collaged prepared papers on heavyweight watercolour paper. Size 6.5 inches square (16.5 cm square).
This is a tiny image – only 4.5 inches square – but I find it pleasing because you have to seek out the man of the title. A representation of a happy day out exploring the surroundings of an old English church.
A tiny picture only 4×4 inches but I found it pleasing when the abstract pieces seemed to make a nice whole. Prepared papers collaged onto heavyweight watercolour paper.
An abstract of prepared papers, collaged to heavyweight watercolour paper. The similarity to a ‘distressed’ advertising site has been deliberately developed.
Image size 8×8 inches (20×20 cm approx) ready to frame under glass.
One of my drawings made at a gig and used here as a collage item in a mixed media piece with prepared papers. Mounted on heavyweight watercolour paper ready to frame under glass. Image size is 8×8 inches approx.
An abstract pattern of collaged prepared papers. There is no view, there is no window but it looks like there might be!
Image size 7.5×7.25 inches (19×18.5 cm) on heavyweight watercolour paper, ready to frame under glass.

A bold ‘blind contour’ drawing over an abstract collage background. Her thoughts may be elsewhere but it’s a good day – she’s wearing her red dress.
