It’s true when they say “inspiration finds us when we are working”, it sure does! Jotting down ideas & doodles in my sketchbook so I can keep track of them all. I love to create bold stylised botanical drawings in my sketchbooks. Do any of you keep Sketchbooks? What are your go to things to keep you inspired whilst working on an art project? xx

It’s freezing here in little old England, so I thought I’d bring a little sunshine into the studio xx

This summer, the UK & especially my home town Crewe, has gone crazy for Rock Painting! All over the UK, towns have set up Facebook pages called ‘Love On The Rocks’.
You paint a rock, write 'Love On The Rocks’ on the back, along with the town you are from & hide it for someone to find.
When you find someone’s rock, you take a photo of it & post it on a 'Love On The Rocks’ Facebook page and then you can either keep it or rehide it for somebody else to find!
It’s lovely to see who finds your rock & amazing to see how far some of these rocks have travelled!
These are some of the rocks I have painted! They’ll be coming with me to Chester Zoo on Friday to be hidden. I can’t wait to see who finds them!

Spring is always full of promise & inspiration. No matter how long winter is, spring is sure to follow! Looking forward to being able to spend time in the garden painting again. xoxo

Sometimes inspiration comes from a single ray of sunshine. It’s beautiful outside today, the sun is shining and the air is crisp. Spring is just around the corner and I can’t wait!
Having fun painting abstract florals in the studio today! xoxo
