Sneak Peeks, a Sale and more…

January 2025

​

​

Hi again Reader,

Apologies for another email so soon but I thought I should let you know about a few things.

First up, I've decided to give Bluesky a try and actually quite like it. I'm still finding my way around but please add me if you are on there too.

New Works Sneak Peek

I mentioned last time about my new ideas for work and how excited I was to start experimenting with new ways of working. The journey has begun! These are still in the early, early stages but I thought it would be nice to let you in on the process more this year. Previously I mentioned about how I'd been hiding and needed to be open and honest. That is what the new work is all about—more personal.

I know that these are quite a departure from my previous painting but it feels right as a direction to head at the moment. I hope you'll find this journey interesting and stick with me to see how it progresses.

Procreate Process Videos

I've had lovely feedback on social media regarding my iPad Procreate Doodles. I've started doing these while waiting for my daughter to fall asleep in the evening and it helps keep me creative. I'm using some of them for future painting ideas and others are illustrations for my blog posts. I thought it would be of interest to show the timelapse of how they're created. (This is the one from the blog mentioned in my last newsletter about anxiety — you can read the blog here if you haven't already).

Valentine's Sale

Just a really quick mention to let you know that a selection of items have been collected together and discounted for a sale in the online shop. The sale ends on 4th February to make sure I can deliver on time.

Apparently, there's something else going on that's quite important to certain parts of the world today, so I really appreciate you taking the time to read this. All the best.

Here Comes Spring March 2025 Hi Reader, Ok, yes, we have had rain, but it's been so nice having some sun too. It feels like Spring is close and I have the urge to try and get the garden in order (now we pay for Garden collections, I have to fill the bin don't I?). Anyway, I hope you are enjoying the sun too and feeling energised. Here's my latest news: Timelapse Video of Amalfi Coast painting I've spent time setting up my camera for easy recording while I work, and here's a new time-lapse...
