New Custom Order

I'm breaking my own rule by showing you a new custom order I've just completed before it's in the hands of it's new owner, although finished these ladies are making their way to their new owner as I type. I've really enjoyed creating these ladies and I hope you'll like them too.

The first little lady is a red headed jam maker, surrounded by berries with quite a warm overall feeling.


This little lady loves lavender blue coloured wisteria and red roses.


This lady has a passion for darker colours, especially red and is keen on bats and crows (first time I think I have ever painted bats and crows).


I created these ladies by looking at photos as well as having a description of their interests, favourite colours etc. These three illustrations are in A6 sizes, I generally work in A6, A5 and A4. I did say I'd show you a few new A5 drawings I'd been working on so those will appear soon. I've been busy listing mirrors on etsy lately as well as having a little night out at the weekend before I start working weekends again for the next few months. Also today was the first day back at nursery for my son who somehow seems to have grown a size in the last two weeks and has stretched out of everything!
