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!

      Thanks Stacy I'm glad you like them, I really enjoyed painting the one with the crows and bats it was good to try something I've not done before. I've been picking up bits and bobs the last couple of days for Max, he just has these sudden growth spurts :0) x

    Really lovely paintings! I like the small format too, it seems to make them more personal. :)
