Shine bright like a diamond

Thanks to a demand for diamond and other wedding anniversary invites and party supplies. I decided I needed to add another design to my selection for special anniversaries. Fortunately I discovered a necklace I had tucked away with a diamond heart cut so I painted this using pan and tube Winsor & Newton watercolors.

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.

The wonders of a new Spring in the UK

Having returned back to the UK from Australia this was the first UK Spring for me in over five years. It has been a delightful revelation to see the transition from the miserable dullness of winter, to the amazing mass flourish of green leaves and pretty flowers. Despite being time poor and still without space to produce my art. I managed to complete a few paintings of the blooms that really caught my eye this spring here in Dorset, England and I have taken plenty of sketches and photos for potential future works once I get more time and space to work again. Below is links to my new Spring watercolor artworks, designed to work on various products including wedding invitations, cards, gift papers and fabrics.

All Wrapped Up

Just in time for Christmas wrapping paper has just grown wider

Christmas wrapping paper has been super sized on zazzle. Wrapping paper products have changed size from 24 inches to 30 inches wide. Zazzle now have added even more paper type options, choose from Matte, Glossy, Linen and the new Tyvek® (a super strong paper, ideal for heavy and awkward gifts).

High quality, custom designed wrapping paper puts a unique, finishing touch on any gift.
I have extended my selection of gift wraps in my little eden, zazzle store to include even more bright, fun and creative designs.

Some of my most popular wrapping paper designs can be personalized with your own photos and are available in numerous color ways, to match your Christmas holiday color theme.

I have selected some of my favorite designs for the holiday season. Many have customization templates that allow you to easily incorporate your own photos and messages directly to the wrapping paper, making a really special and very personalized gift by itself.

Available in a choice of colors this star patterned Christmas paper is ideal to add two or three of your favorite photos and your family name.



Wrap your Christmas gifts in baubles of joyous sediments and add three of your family photos or business images to give your gift a special custom touch to family, friends or clients. Seasonal words include Joy, cheer, holiday, bright and merry.




This unique Christmas wrap not only has your photos framed with partridges and mistletoe, but you can also customize your paper with 5 of your favorite photos, ideal for those with 5 children or larger families.



Finally if you don't want a photo on your wrapping paper this Christmas you will also find a selection of wraps featuring my unique artwork, with many allowing for message or name customization. You can find more Christmas wrapping paper designs here.

Dollying up dolly

Original  first draft sketch
Just finished my latest artwork of a cute rag doll loosely based on my daughters cherished rag doll, Kate.

I even remembered my blog and finally got out my camera to record several stages during the drawing and painting process for you to see the progression of this piece and how I as a artist work.

I needed to buy a new pink watercolor tube for this painting. Pink is one of those colors in watercolor that is best used strong to keep it vibrant. I am delighted with my new opera rose Winsor & Newton tube. Opera rose proved to be well worth the investment giving the painting a lovely vibrancy to the pink and purple tones.

The biggest challenge I found on creating this artwork was the woolen hair, one the changes I made from the original doll. I guess that is why I left it until last to do? As always my completed dolly art prints are available from my stores on a variety of products, ideal for any little girl who like my daughter loves dolls.

Horsin’ around on a whimsical rocking horse

I have been busy horsin' around in pan watercolors to create my latest rocking horse artwork. This cute whimsical artwork was produced for my daughters bedroom initially. However I decided to scan this little rocker and create various products for other little girls whom love toy rocking horses to enjoy too.

Picture shows my artwork at the finishing stage and the paint pallet and brushes I used. Here are just a few of the products and color variations I produced from this cute watercolor painting.
