Stork new baby delivery art

My latest stork baby art collection was originally created for my cute now not so new baby nephew.

Painted with pan watercolors this cute design was based around my brothers previous jobs as a postman and his current job dealing with parcels and deliveries and the fact that I now live thousands of miles away it seems most fitting. So I drew a cute flying stork with a baby bundle. The stork has a postman's style hat which on the original version that I sent to my new nephew had the logo of the large firm my brother is now store manager for as a personalised touch. 

I also created a simple wash sky background which I have added together to create baby shower invitations and baby shower party wares, maternity t-shirts and more available through www.mylittleeden.com on zazzle
and my redbubble store.

Going green

Colour company Pantone has declared green as its colour of the year for 2017. The colour, aptly named Greenery, is described by Pantone as a "tangy yellow-green that speaks to our need to explore, experiment and reinvent". 

It seemed therefore fitting to go green whilst taking a more relax approach to a bit of watercolor art, I produced for my little eden weddings store. 

I started with some loose foliage forms then added splats of paint by gently flicking the brush in a controlled way to give the work more vitality, interest and life.

I then decided to grab a pot placed in the center of my paper and produce another piece of art in a wreath design using the pot as a circular template.

I was quite pleased with my little painting session, although I did color adjust the artwork to match and be a little more green with the tone of the greenery theme.

Back to Australia again!

Hello again! Well it has been another while since I have posted to my art blog. My apologies.

Moving around the world and back with two young children is not for the fainthearted and unfortunately a few things have had to take a back seat for awhile and my blog has been amongst them.

Now back in Australia with my own computer and most importantly space for my desk, I am slowly getting back up and running.

Migrating back to Australia I have found the process a bit easier this time, thankfully. I have certainly felt more thankful to be able to return and trying to make the most of all Australia has to offer in terms of floral and wildlife. Being in rural Victoria again there is no shortage of exciting flora and fauna to enjoy.


At the moment I am living close to Uralla Nature Reserve. So I have taken my kids several times to the reserve for bush walks and each time we have seen something different.

My last trip was particularly special as we encountered on the path a wallaby just standing there looking straight at us. Very exciting to see one so close in the wild.

However for me the wild orchids I just fell in love with, being flower mad to see such beautiful plants with butterflies darting around in their natural setting was truly magical. This walk reminded me why I love and returned to Australia.

These beautiful wild orchids inspired me to paint the orchids on a whimsical birthday card for my mum, whom I am so sad about leaving back in the UK and not being able to visit on her upcoming birthday.

The koala cuddle

New painting in acrylic based on the several glimpses of Koalas in Queensland and Victoria Australia. The cuddle was inspired by my love and protection for my own children.
