Violets Are Blue - Soft Sculpture Art Doll

Today was one of those beautiful winter days where the sun really soaks into your skin.... it makes you feel like making dolls :) I found some old vintage fabric I had tucked away and then attacked it with scissors, thread and paint. Her legs work to hold her into a great reclining position.

She likes to laze around in the sunshine and dream.

Recycled Timber Door

When adventuring for new surfaces to paint on with a student of mine I came across these great old timber cupboard doors. Perfectly framed and ready to hang!

Conversations with Dragonfly Angel

mixed media including ink, acrylic and oil paint on recycled timber door

My little fox terrier is curled into a tight ball, warming his old bones. 3 kids are laughing and playing in the bath tub..... I find some time to post on here after a period of silence. Orange trees heavy with fruit, pots of pumpkin soup and the blaze of the fire are inspiring my recent paintings.

Bunny Girl

Bug cleanedout her room the other day, she wanted to give away all of her toys because shehas too many and some children have none. It was such an important thing for her to do, letting go and moving on..... Growing up. Each toy she said goodbye to, hugged and thanked it. It was very sad for me to let go all of these precious items that held memories for me too....also watching her growing, allowing that. I made this paining in response to these feelings...
