Caught in the Rain

If you've ever been caught in the rain you'll know much a big umbrella makes it all better.  This painting was done using a palette knife and has loads of juicy paint on it.  I loved doing the reflections and the looseness of this painting...great fun!

Who's There?

More fun with the palette knife!  I really enjoy the effect achieved using a palette knife and love how the colours stay so vibrant.

Three Little Pigs

There's something so cute about little pigs.  These little guys look like they've been enjoying a tumble in the mud and are now looking for a way out of their pen.

Hello there

Another palette knife creation!   This painting was really fun to do but I did run into some challenges with the Prussian blue background as it's hard to keep it contained.  Hoping to do a few more quackers in the near future.

What big eyes you have

This is exactly what my eyes felt like today after a visit to the Opthalmologist!  Fortunately it's not permanent.  :)

Quiet Reflection

Quiet Reflection is a combination of brush and palette knife work.  Can you spot the little bird?

Winter Robin

Here is a tiny English Robin waiting for the weather to warm up.  So far this year it has been a mild winter here in southern England and we're all hoping it stays that way.  Well, perhaps the children would like to see some of the white stuff but personally, I'm happy just the way it is.
