A Year in Paint (2017)

January

My year began with a favourite subject of mine. I think foxes are just beautiful and a joy to paint, add some snow and Bingo!

February

Where I live influences my work so much. Mid Devon's high hedges as Spring bursts into life , so looking forward to seeing the primroses again.

March

Another favourite subject , and just perfect for March, I just need to practice so I can do these beautiful creatures justice.

April

 

A real highlight of my year getting to see my work at Lympstone Manor, wow!

May

A lovely week in Pembrokeshire and a chance to paint outside, I must do more en plein air painting in 2018, roll on the warmer weather .....

June

Another thrill to see my work in London at the 'Wildlife Artist of the Year ' exhibition, this little lemur was just a bit special.

July 

2017 was the year I loved to paint bumble bees, they got bigger and more detailed, I think I will be painting more in the coming months

August

The calendar I painted for RNLI came out in their shops and I was so thrilled to see it on sale in Cornwall.

September

September is Devon open Studios,  such a busy time ,but so lovely for me to meet people who like my work and to be able to chat about what I do. Happy Days

October

October brought new commissions as Christmas draws closer, and new subjects too.

November

Another first for me but I am sure sloths will feature in 2018.

December

And so the year ends almost as it began with snow and wildlife and things I love.....what will 2018 bring? If it is anywhere near as exciting as 2017 I will be a very happy watercolourist

Happy New Year x
