Painting this wkd for @ccwinch #ccwokefield

I was invited to paint for Winchester, Christchurch during their conference at Wokefield Park, Reading. A fantastic, inspiring weekend of 'tasting and seeing'. The painting was done in stages at various points throughout the weekend.

Friday evening. Inspiration: Isaiah 43:1 "...Do not fear for I have redeemed you: I have called you by name; you are mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you.…

40dayscreative

Inspired by Lauren Dawson and #40dayscreative although a little late, I'm aiming to contribute a sketch, painting, drawing or photograph and generally embrace a bit of creativity intentionally every day for 40 days! Despite designing and creating being my work, each day can get caught up with administration duties and looking after my children! So even if it's a splash of paint for a day, I'll be on a mission... posts will be here, my Facebook page, Instagram and Creativefor40days so there's no escape :)

Exploring Tudor House, Southampton

A great afternoon recently spent exploring the history of the Tudor House and gardens, beautiful paper art works on display including a Tudor paper ship by Jessica Palmer and a collection of paper dresses by Violese Lunn. As usual I couldn't resist a couple of pics of Southampton Old Town walls both inside and outside...
