I’ve a few new paintings since my last post and keep meaning to take work in progress photos. This week I finally remembered to do it for some wildlife glass painting! Here’s a jug with one elephant and a faint outline of a baby elephant and now two! This is the first stage of a …
The weather is pretty wild here today, so I’ve been painting sunflowers as a reminder of summer! Bluetits were my choice of animal, to match in with the yellow. The vase isn’t quite finished. My space in Spangles, the local shop, is having a makeover. January is a quiet time of year so the shop …
Ever feel you’re being watched! I looked up from my desk to see my neighbours cat fascinated watching me paint. My cat Lottie has started sitting there too, making me feel guilty with the odd meow as I won’t let her in. However cats, glass and paint don’t make a good combination, so I’m not …
January, February are generally the coldest months in the UK, although so far we’ve gone from freezing nights to spring temperatures!

A tricky one as I’m getting pain in my left hand, possibly arthritis but not to be defeated my solution …
Can’t believe it’s a month since I did my last blog post! However I needed a rest after Devon Open studios and had a short break to the beautiful North Devon coast. We were incredibly lucky to have glorious weather with summer temperatures in October! These were taken at Woolacombe. Devon Open Studios wasn’t as …
It’s the first weekend of the open studios event and after a busy time preparing, I was just about ready in time! Had a few frantic moments losing blue tac and some price labels but now feeling relaxed! Here are photos of my set up A very sunny day yesterday kept numbers low I think, …
