Adding detail in oils to this vintage gown. There’s some staining & water marks on the bottom of its slight train & I can imagine in its former life being worn to a posh ‘do” on a summer evening where shoes were kicked off for dancing on the lawn! 💃🥂

Starting to add some detail to this #vintage gown. It’s a rich brocade & presents a pleasure and a challenge! Also an exercise in patience😝 I do like to imagine the past lives of vintage clothes & wonder what glamorous occasion this was worn to! (Oil on canvas, 90 x 60 cm)

Trying out Vero app, the no-ad social app…not sure how it will work out but will see! It would be a shame to abandon Instagram & I like Facebook even less- but I often feel it’s wasting my time!

Link in my bio, you need to download the app to interact though.

Just getting my teeth into this oil on canvas, building up some layers & texture with cold wax medium. (The most fun bit!) Why is the hand in this position? Wait and see😂

Btw, it’s not so much a self portrait as a need to find someone to fit this rather splendid 1970’s dress (me). So now stuck with the dilemma of gritty realism (add 10yrs) or being kind (& possibly being accused of vanity😝).

I wanted to portray an older woman because, well, we don’t seem to feature much on social media unless we “look good for our age”. Since we might live another 50 yrs after the age of 50 I think we need to stop dismissing or even shaming women for ageing. There are great things about getting older even if physical appearance isn’t one of them!

Very pleased to have been awarded the Youdell’s painting prize at @lakesartists summer exhibition 2022! 🙏The exhibition is on at the Village Hall in Grasmere from today, 30th July, to 7th September, 10.30am- 7.30pm. Lots to do in Grasmere, even if it rains! (Wouldn’t be much of a Lake District without rain!)

So pleased that my painting “Heartstrings” has been given the Youdells painting award at the Lake Artists Summer Exhibition! Many thanks to the selection committee🙏. The exhibition opens Sat 30th July - Wed 7th September 10.30 am -4.30pm at beautiful Grasmere in the English Lake District. Post covid, the exhibition has a fresh new look so do come and visit! This video shows some of my pre-painting stages.

Grasmere is famous for being home and inspiration for (amongst others) romantic poets & siblings Dorothy and William Wordsworth, and also Samuel Taylor Coleridge. The Wordsworths were said to crave the local speciality, Grasmere gingerbread, which is still made to a secret recipe dating back to the 19th century.
Btw, the contemporary performance poet John Cooper Clarke had a rather less romantic view of the Lake District 😂 and you can still catch his first impressions online, in clips from the BBC series Secret Life of books: Confessions of an English Opium Eater.

There is much to make a visit to this village worthwhile, including the newly refurbished @wordsworthgrasmere and lots of fantastic fell walks. And of course a gem of an art exhibition!😉

Looking back at some bird paintings. I always use my own photo refs so they are truly original works & have to say it’s difficult & but possible with an iphone on a tripod and a remote! 😂

Very impressed at how this charity has grown since it held its first art postcard auction for the Royal Marsden Hospital in 2018! Nice to see the positive side of social media playing its part too🥰

Happy to say that “The Boy Before the Man” has been preselected for the Society of Women Artists @swainfo open exhibition 2022. My husband may be a little bit mortified as it’s a portrait of him as a child! 😁
Here’s a sort of process time lapse from stills. Oil and cold wax medium on panel.

Beautifully flamboyant, curvaceous and wiggly stemmed parrot tulips in a 500ml chemistry flask- you know when you can’t find the right vase? 😂
I’m trying to cram florals in whilst in season, gathering ye rosebuds & all that. Then I plan to incorporate into florals my portraits (there is method in my madness!🤪).

Very happy (surprised/relieved/excited) to find my submissions to @hollybushpaintingprize 2022 have been longlisted!

This is a painting prize dedicated to women painters. There are all sorts of reasons why women artists still find it difficult to get their work seen and their voices heard so this is a welcome opportunity. Check out their page to find out more! 🥰🎨

The old moss rose William Lobb- actually bred in France by Jean Laffay in 1855 but renamed after William Lobb the Cornish plant hunter. Lovely scent, fades to shades of purple (here it is in the process of changing). Lots of colour notes taken! Oil on sealed paper.
