Etsy Feature

I am feeling fired up about art this week and just itching to get my paints and collage stuff out and get making, time is tight at the moment now though with a new baby, a house and a husband to look after so in the mean time I will just have to drool over these gorgeous artworks on Etsy:

Love the colours, the glitter, the texture and the use of circles,

Love the sort colours and shapes, the collaged cups, the use of text,

Love the layering, the variety of shapes, the colour pallet,

Love the stencilled letters, the loose paintwork, the balanced composition,

Love the character, the black outlines, which highlights,

Love the broad  strokes contrasting with the delicate black lines, 

Love the angular shapes, the bright colours, the pattern,

Love the blocks of colour against the fields of colours, love the variety of sized of squares.

Beautiful Bird Painting

Added a new painting to the shop today, this is the one I created with my lovely friend Hannah a while back.
I would reeeeeally love to sell one of my paintings to someone out there in the world (hint hint!) This is what I truly want to do in my life and I so want it to be a success, it all feels a bit futile at the moment.  Anyway, none of this "woe is me" nonsense, here is my painting, I hope you like it.

New Mixed media painting

Oooh I am so excited to share this painting with you today.  It has taken me all day so far to do.  Not sure it is finished yet but I just had to share it with you all because I am so excited.  It is so vibrant and totally different from the paintings I have done before. I feel quite shivery when I look at it.  Did I really make this?  I love it! (Am I allowed to say I love my own paintings?)
Well see what you think.  Feedback always welcome as you know:
