My latest commissioned pet portrait is complete. This is Pepper! As with all my portraits i used the lovely Faber-Castell Polychromos pencils on a smooth paper with white gel pen as highlights on the whiskers.

If you would like your own portrait like this one or of a person you can find the price list on my Pet & Horse Portrait Page.

There's a new painting in the Landscapes and Seascapes gallery!  This is a small acrylic painting.  I'm loving painting garden scenes at the moment and it's nice to have a smaller piece to add to the collection!

After having almost a year of using nothing but pencils i decided it was time for a change so i brought the paints back out and painted this serene little scene of a water garden.  And i finished it just in time for the first day of spring too!  This canvas will be available to buy soon and hopefully there will be prints available too.  If you are interested in any of these products please contact me on via my Contact Me page. 

2015 was a busy year for me!  At the beginning of it i decided i would set myself the task of completing all the challenges for the coloured pencil magazine!  It was tough going at times as some of the images really weren't suited to my style, but i got over the hurdles and i am very proud to say that i completed them all and won a years subscription to the magazine!  Suffice to say i haven't done much painting recently as i discovered my love of coloured pencils, but i'm hoping to creating some more beautiful painting in 2016!

There's more exciting news for you all!  My products are now stocked in 4 different galleries in the North West of England!  The most recent additions being Krafters Korner in Padiham and now Craft and Crumpet in Lancashire!  You can find my prints and greeting cards in both shops but not only that i am now doing more workshops, this time at Craft and Crumpet!   I am running my Introduction to acrylic painting as well as a brand new (and very exciting) workshop, Pinot and Picasso.  This workshop will be run on a night and has a twist in that not only will we be painting but we will also be drinking wine and eating cheese!  All you have to turn up with is a bottle of wine and the rest will be provided!  Sound like fun?  Check out my workshop page for dates and details on how to book!
