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).

Come to Mama
You’ve seen silly – this is sillier!
Mixed media on paper, about 8×10 inches.
RWS Contemporary Watercolour Competition
Hurrah! One of my entries has been accepted.
Recent small pictures for the 365 course are on my diary page.
Y is for Yellow is nearly finished…
and for my last series in the year (the 3rd series) I have been working on aspects of Eve, the apple and the snake (or variations).
All images are 8×10 inches (20×25.5 cm) and are in mixed media. They are not intended to illustrate the bible story accurately!
When the wind blows
Rock-a-bye baby, in the treetop
When the wind blows, the cradle will rock
When the bough breaks, the cradle will fall
And down will come baby, cradle and all. (Traditional)
Image is 8×10 inches (20×25.5 cm). It emerged like many of my paintings from a random start. It is for sale on Singulart
Just follow me
We’ll follow you – but do you know where you are going? Life is like this. Just hope your leader has the correct destination.

The big house
Another imaginary landscape of houses in the countryside. A yellow rainbow under a purple sky seems unlikely but most things I paint are unlikely. Mixed media on paper 10×8 inches (25×20 cm).
We live in the blue house
Well, actually, we never lived in a blue house. But my neighbour has recently painted his fences and BBQ shelter in this shade of blue – and it looks very nice. So maybe a repainting job on my side of the fence is needed… Though it is easier to see and admire on the next door property and save the effort!
Image measures approx. 8 x 10 inches (20×25 cm).
Kids’ Art Week!
Thank you, Carla, for another free Kids’ Art Week! (Last year’s lessons are still available here.)
I’m posting my efforts here this time:
Go, Picasso dog!
The procession
Can two be a procession? You have to imagine the rest! I just fell in love with the tiny figure on the right who appeared out of nowhere.
This is one of my pictures for the Tunbridge Wells International Art Fair 24-26 June 2016 (to be shown there by Redleaf Gallery).
The image is 8×10 inches (20×25 cms) approx. and is a mixed media painting.
Mutual support
A strange lady, a strange pet – but they get on!
Some lovely person liked it enough to purchase it! I think that person is a good vibes character.
Pick and mix
This is just the beginning of the piece. At lesson 23, the year’s work is nearly done. It’s been brilliant! Year of the Spark has followed Year of the Fairy Tale – both with Carla Sonheim. This year Lynn Whipple has provided half the lessons. Super mix of talents.
I kid myself it now looks a teeny weeny bit like an Egyptian tomb wall – I shall call the bathing belle Nefertiti.
Next year it will be Y is for Yellow. Watch this space…
Face

A woman’s face. Her expression is sad, lost in her own thoughts maybe. An experimental collage which seems to be complete at this stage. I like it anyway!
Mixed media on paper, the image measures 8×10 inches (20×25.5 cm).
A vague feeling
In a blue mist, she wanders – wondering just how to make the posts come up the right size on Facebook…

Lion tamer
Here she is. The lady lion tamer. No lion would dare to mess with her.

By the Waters of Babylon
A colour piece suggesting a landscape with river and pools… A very large bird appeared on its own!
Image is mixed media 8×10 inches (20×20.5 cm).
I’m too old for all this malarkey
I feel for this lady! Mixed media on paper, image 8×10 inches (20×25.5 cm). Have a giggle!
Faces of me!
Encouraged to find colour palettes and do self-portraits for my week’s lesson on Year of the Spark, I have done three faces. Here they are with the colour selections.
