Velvet Petals


I loved how the top rose in this lovely bouquet caught the light so crisply in some places and so softly in others.

This is also one of many pieces in my Cubicle Art collection, named so because they are small, portable, and easily hung on a thumb tack for those of you who would like a little more art in your cubicle or office. I've got a few hung up in my kitchen, too!

Sunbathing


These roses (a gift from my wonderful husband) were so lovely that I had to paint them in a mini-set.  I'm hoping to get a few more paintings in before they wilt.

These paintings are all teeny tiny 10cm x 10cm paintings that can brighten up a cubicle wall, being light enough to hang from a thumbtack. Hope you like them!

In The Edinburgh Light


In the golden Edinburgh atmosphere, the castle (which is made out of numerous stones, including old red sandstone) was bathed in an orange light, and cast an almost supernaturally red glow. I may paint a more realistic version at some point, but this is how I remember it hitting my eye.

This is the third painting in my Look Up! series, depicting point-of-view shots of majestic (and sometimes imposing) architecture. I hope you like the series so far!

Elgin Cathedral

Even after nearly 800 years, this Cathedral in Elgin still has a magnificent presence. The light filters in at such an amazing angle, I'm almost glad that there aren't any windows to get in the way.

This is the second painting in my Look Up! series.  I imagine you're getting the gist of it by now. :)

For Birds and Kings


Pardon that this picture was taken in the field. It was SO lovely out by King's College!

This is the first in a new series entitled "Look Up!"; if you don't know what it means yet, you will.
