A happy new year to you all. I always love new year’s day (much more than new year’s eve) – so full of promise and potential, though for the most part, we need to create these for ourselves. It’s a beautiful day here in NI. We’re still under a pretty restrictive lockdown, but i thinkContinue reading “New year, new perspectives”

Brand new range of prints
So excited by how good my new range of prints looks that I’ve literally just spread them all out over my sofa to see them together… professional presentation – not! Beautiful prints? Yes please 🙂 Just arrived today and only a very few copies of each. Get them on my shop page before they sellContinue reading “Brand new range of prints”
A new piece
Tonight i finished a painting. I like the back story to this one – I had donated a painting of a bluetit with cherry blossom as a prize in a lockdown charity zoom quiz. By a strange quirk the quiz master won the painting, but then i felt bad ‘cos he didn’t seem a bluetitContinue reading “A new piece”
From all endings come new beginnings…
A few weeks ago I posted about the turn of the seasons. Our latest lockdown (still in place) had just started, with restrictions on socialising indoors as well as the closure of cafés and bars. Compounding this was the looming end of British summertime, when the clocks fall back by an hour, ushering in longContinue reading “From all endings come new beginnings…”

The exhibition will open on Saturday 7th November and will be avaliable to view and buy a range of original artContinue reading “Countdown to…”
“The present is the point at which time touches eternity”
The quote is from CS Lewis and I guess it bears no correlation at all to the image, except both make me pause and reflect. That’s my dog in the photograph, racing the beach and living his best life. He turned 11 yesterday and I know that our time together is limited, but this imageContinue reading ““The present is the point at which time touches eternity””
A new start
I’ve got a new painting on the easel, good tunes in the background: and a glass of red that I keep forgetting about. Excited about this and can’t wait to see how it turns out – it’s one of my favourite beaches… So anyway – there’s LOADS more to do and I’ve just been focusingContinue reading “A new start”
Where the sky meets the sea.
Is there anything in life more joyous than a border collie on a beach? This beach (Murlough Beach, near Dundrum in Northern Ireland), where the mountains of Mourne (in the far right) sweep down to the sea, is my happy place. And seemingly also my dog Patches’ happy place. Today we’ve walked the shore andContinue reading “Where the sky meets the sea.”
Mañana
My latest pastel painting, hot off the press (or easel) as it were. An endearing face and a fascinating way of life. 30cm x 30cm, pastel on Clairefontaine pastelmat card. The original painting is now available to buy in my online shop. #Rainforest #sloth #irishartist #pastelart #wildlifeart #animalportraits #thenaturalworld
