Art in 2025

So much has happened since 2020 when I started to paint. I look back on those times and they seem so surreal So alien it is almost as if they did not happen.

But they did.

Over the past 5 years my life has turned on its head and creating art has been, and remains a space of great solace and comfort and pleasure. Due to my health my days of painting photorealism are past and I turn my hand now to loose and abstract work in watercolour, watercolour ink, acrylic ink, alcohol ink and Brusho. I also work digitally in Procreate. I also do loose line and wash sketching.

My art is for me; if it gives others pleasure too, that is wonderful. I hope it makes them think, too. Shared here is a tiny representation of my current work...I will change them now and them to keep them current.

Bubble Party! My first foray in alcohol inks. What fun!	Himalayan Poppy Brusho, gel pen and Posca pen. I love Brusho for its intensity of colour.
On The Cliffs Loose & colourful L&W	My Fave Coffee Mug Line & Wash. A quick doodle of my favourite thermy mug.
Summer Skies Alcohol ink on Yupo. Inspired by bright blue summer skies that are filled with hope.	Where Sea Meets Sky Loose watercolour seascape.
My Plein Air Kit Loose L&W of the kit I take with me when I go out to sketch and paint.	Rain Arriving Acrylic ink. Dropped and sprayed. In the Maldives you can see the rain arriving, obliterating the sight of any and all in its path.
Summertime Alcohol ink on Yupo. This was inspired by the verdant green view out of my window ,	Morning Coffee My quick, daily line and wash doodle.
Summer Heat Alcohol ink on Yupo. Inspired by the searing heat that was bathing England at the time.	Seascape Acrylic ink. Another fun and messy foray with my spray bottle!
Exmoor Heather Watercolour. one of the first loose landscapes I did.	My Initial In My Fave Colour Watercolour, Posca Pen and ink. I love this kind of illustrative work. it is very meditative to do.
Conclave Acrylic inks in multiple layers, dropped on paper then swept up and down with the side of a ruler. I see a conclave of five women .. what do you see?	Fishermens' Cottages Loose line and wash. I did not keep enough white space but I like this piece nonetheless.
Nature Made using watercolours I made myself - found & ground. Very rewarding!	Horse Chestnut Leaf The beginning of my journey in illustrative work. Mixed media - watercolour, Posca paint pen, fineliner.
Flower Loose line & wash. Watercolour & ink.	What Do I See? Watercolour and alcohol spray on Yupo. I have grown to love art like this ... where the viewer sees the piece through the lens of their own perspective.
Where Land Meets See Abstract using Brusho. I love the uncontrollable nature of this medium.	Mountain High Watercolour. Loose and space, in the style of Tony Smibert.
Calm Watercolour. Quick. Expressing the space I really wanted t be in when it was created.	Cheers! When I started using Procreate. This done following a tutorial. When I started I never thought I would be able to do it. But I did. Just goes to show what perseverance and belief in self can achieve.
Sunset Watercolour. Another piece that reflects my mood when I painted it.	Shiny Beetle Watercolour - using my favourite colours.
Grasmere Watercolour. My first card swipe. Gifted to friends as a wedding present.	Carrot Watercolour. Part of a series where I was experimenting with granulation.
