My paintings also make unique presents for the person you love.I first learnt to paint when I was twenty nine and a new Mum. Twenty-two years later, my youngest daughter invited me to paint a ceramic plate at Espressions for her Birthday party. I leapt at the chance and my passion for painting and being creative was born and I was soon hooked! I made a conscious decision to paint every day and see where it led me. .When Lockdown arrived in March 2020, I was already busy painting ceramic tiles on a more or less daily basis. I had taken home 10 ceramic paints, 14 plates, and a big bowl. When the plates were later fired, some worked out really well (the bunny and the kitten) but my penguin plates were ruined because the Ultramarine Blue ceramic paint I had became far too dark when it went through the kiln.Painting tiles had been an excellent way to finally get in touch with my creativity at the grand old age of fifty. However, I could not really afford the time, money and disappointment if a tile were spoilt in the kiln. I was now confident enough to tackle watercolours again. Thus I made the decision to switch back to painting watercolours (which I had last used sixteen years previously). If a painting goes wrong, it costs considerably less to rectify than if you are painting ceramics.I set myself the target of painting one hundred pictures over the course of that first year and rewarded myself with a bouquet of flowers of which my daughters particularly approved. I absolutely love painting now and I hope that you will enjoy seeing the fruits of my labour (pets, wild animals, people, flowers, landscapes). You may even feel inspired to pick up a paintbrush yourself and have a go. I look forward to helping you bring your vision to life, let's create something extraordinary together.
