I spy with my little eye, something beginning with ... S

Is it Sneddonia? Is it Superman? Is it soup?

Nope:



Now do you know what it is? No, Boris doesn't begin with S. Try again, maybe Rosie can help you:



Now you've got it! Here's another one, the lovely Charlotte:



And another one, the glamorous Astrid, who has woven beads into her web:



Talking of webs, how about some cobweb necklaces? Click the image below for some:



Or maybe a cobweb sculpture or two?





These are great actually, because you can also hang your earrings and things from them:



Thanks for looking :D

My first art cards

I've just listed a new ACEO diptych in my DaWanda shop. It looks like this:



and is for sale here.

It's a mini version of a favourite composition of mine, which I've used here and here. It depicts a tree spreading across two cards. The first card shows one side of this tree in daylight, and the other shows the other side of the tree at sunset. The tree on the daylight side has been painted using a mixture of copper poster paint and black acrylic, giving it a metallic sheen that looks different in varying light. The sunset tree is in silhouette, painted in black acrylic, a striking contrast to the bright acrylic colours of the setting sun. As I believe is standard with ACEOs (I did say these were my first!), both of my cards measure 6.5cm (2.5") by 9cm (3.5").

I've also painted a circular art card, on display here:

New on DaWanda

My latest DaWanda products, pictured below, include Purple Rose, Purple and Green Fire, Darkshines, and my newest listing, Dark Day:





The diptych "Dark Day" is actually a mini version of a previous artwork of mine, Dark Day and its Sunset. That piece is no longer for sale (I love it too much!) but if you'd like a similar one, I'm more than happy to paint that for you :)

Watch this space, I guarantee there'll be more art coming soon, including a Blue Rose painting and more trees.

Thanks for looking!

New painting - Red Sky at Night

This piece came about from a desire to mix two elements of what I do, the painting and the wire sculpture. It is a representation of a tree in silhouette against a red sunset, created using a mixture of acrylic paints and copper-coloured poster paint. I've also used copper wire, which forms part of the structure of the tree. This wire also goes behind the canvas, to attach itself there, and forms a loop at the top for hanging the painting.
