Well I made it. This painting was done by combining the requested of my Facebook followers. They wanted a snow scene, a cat in snow, tulips and daffodils. The scale isn’t right at all but as it was my 3rd painting today, I’ll be kind to myself! I used references from Creative Commons.

I’ll be blogging about my 30 day challenge in the next few days and I’m planning on exhibiting them sometime in March. I’ll post details on here but please email me if you’d like details of the exhibition to be emailed to you.


Thanks so much for your support. It’s really nice when people see my work and respond to it.

Now where is that glass of wine?!

’Snapchat’ I’ve added a few pounds to my daughter on this one! Oh well, what’s the saying ‘an artist paints himself!’

Oh my goodness. I can’t believe this is the 30th day. To complete the challenge I’m going to paint 3 paintings today. The weather has meant it’s warmer to stay in the house, so I’ll be using gouache for the last ones. I haven’t used gouache before and it’s really good fun. This is a supermarket special,obviously I’ll call it ‘Hyacinth’s promise of Spring’ NFS

Tomorrow is the last day of the challenge and I’m 3 Paintings short, I’ll have to see what I can achieve tomorrow. This is a little different for me and I’ve painted it as a little gift for 2 lovely people who have been through a sad time. Even if they tuck it away in a drawer, they’ll still know why I painted it and what it means.
