Watercolour Puddles

|
My work is inspired by the winged and fur coated creatures in the Forest of Dean where I live and the surrounding countryside. I work from my garden studio, largely in watercolours and use gouache alongside this but love to dabble with acrylics on reclaimed wood too. Using watercolours I love to manipulate the paint and encourage colour to mix and blend in pools of water and will re wet dropping in neat colour to get the look and feel that emulates fur or feathers. The personality of those I paint is a must, often encouraged by the props that surround them or form perches for them to sit on. Storytelling and nostalgia are an important mix and I have become a collector of vintage bits and bobs that remind me of a moment in time or a childhood memory but sometimes it’s just a fun marrying of creature and object such as “The Firestarter”

My watercolour images are on a growing range of items, from Limited Edition prints to greetings cards and cushions and lampshades, so when you’ve run out of wall space there may still be another practical way to have a piece of my art.
I will never tire of watching nature and being inspired by the humble sparrows in the garden or the bigger beasts that cross my path. The challenge will always remain the same, creating to encourage a smile or a memory and a reminder of just how amazing nature is.
