Creating simple characters
The gardener
The Ginger
An invented character!
I love red hair!
Flower Medley II
A cheerful flower picture.
Flowers by the spring
Must get back to posting! Rather a hiatus in my life.
Marinegate
In rich dark colours this is a kind of version of the marina at Brighton! It would not recognise itself.
See you later
Pretty colours!
Solar flare
We are having a very warm few days in the UK!
Only a little cockeyed
Well, I like it anyway!
Covering her modesty
Thinks: ‘Oh dear! Maybe this dress is a bit bold.’
A new year – and hope springs eternal…
Time to start choosing which pictures to enter in the digital round of some exhibitions. Which pictures, which exhibitions, how much can I afford?
Hurrah! This one got into the RWS Contemporary Watercolour which opens 2nd March at Bankside, London, through 14th March. (Watercolour is loosely interpreted in this competition!)
Gaza
The day the trees left
Sometimes artwork is disappointing and I threw this one away! But I like the idea and the title and one day will get round to using them again.
Haughty cat
Not this time – I walk away, head held high.
National Open Art competition
Wow! I have been shortlisted for NOA 2017. The second round is later but in the meantime there is the World Art Vote. You can vote for my picture from here.
If you would like to see other shortlisted work, go to this page. You can of course vote for several artists… but please do vote for me!
If I have asked you already elsewhere, sorry!
Not waving
I love this gloomy piece which evolved under my eyes. My visual memory was jerked by the beginnings of the hunched up figure and I found the image I recalled in a book about Gauguin (hero!) with a photo of a Peruvian mummy. I have always loved the poem by Stevie Smith – hence the title.
Maybe all the horrifying stories of drownings in the Mediterranean influenced me as well. We can never know all the subconscious themes.

Tower of Fools
The things in my imagined landscapes come from patterns and designs that I ‘find’ as the painting grows. I heard of the Tower of Fools at an exhibition at the Wellcome Foundation a while ago. Image approx. 10×8 inches (25.5×20 cm).
Maggie with daffodil
Picture recently framed for upcoming summer exhibition at a local gallery. Image 8 x 10 inches (20×25 cm).
Come to Mama
You’ve seen silly – this is sillier!
Mixed media on paper, about 8×10 inches.
