I took a trip to Swaledale this weekend to watch the sheep and enjoy some of my favourite scenery. Standing on top of Redmire Moor I had a panoramic view of the hills and dales all swathed in the most fantastic colours as the heather begins to flower. This trip to blow the cobwebs away and sooth the soul resulted in this piece called 'Up amongst the heather'
This is the second design to go with'Sailing Home For Christmas' it is called ' Star Struck'. I am considering packaging the cards in 12s but will let you know more as soon as we have decided on the details.
It is a beautiful morning up here in Yorkshire, a great day for a walk in the Dales I think. Hope you are all enjoying the same.
Hello again,
This week I have been busy designing Christmas Cards for The Lewy Body Society and though I would give you a sneek preview. What do you think?
Hello again, I have just been having a giggle to myself as I painted this piece. Walking through the fields this spring I enjoyed watching the lambs jumping over their mums and standing on their backs. That memory came back to me this morning as I was pondering, as I do in my studio. Why should we have to grow up and give up the fun and games of childhood.Don't adult sheep get bored being sensible? Well, as you can tell by my work I never did grow up and will always enjoy being young at heart. I am off into the garden now to see if I can still cartwheel!
See you soon.
