My card entitled King Kevin was again one of my most popular cards at the Royal Cornwall show.. I do have a few left in my shop though. I am still using eBay as my temporary shop because it is working so well.. .http://ift.tt/2s6P3Aw

The good thing about being awake at 4am was the experience of complete silence broken by a lone cuckoo followed be a deafening cacophony of birds joining in for the dawn chorus!

@little_arctic_flower inspired me so much on Sunday…I have been doing a little vintage research…the story of Beatrix potter has always greatly interested me…especially her work with her fabulous Herdwick sheep. #beatrixpotter #herdwicksheep #vintage #artistinspiration #illustration #artresearch

Good morning, this very rare breed Vaynol cow may also be visiting @theroyalcornwall with me next week…I will be offering a special royal Cornwall discount to everyone on social media in the next few days :) I hope to see you there! #acrylicpainting #animalartist #cowpainting #vaynol

I am an eclectic artist…which I say with frustration…what ever I am having to do..I always want to be doing something else…from painting to printmaking, drawing to sculptural ceramics, collage to bookmaking…illustration to abstraction…one day I will decide what I want to be when I grow up! 😂😂😂 the one thing that holds my scattered practice together is the natural world…more specifically animals and birds…this one is a collagraph inspired by the ted Hughes ‘crow’ poems #frustrationsofanartist #collagraph #printmaking #rook #crow

I have been working on lapwings today :) i often see them around stithians lake and the @rspb_love_nature reserve at hayle estuary during the winter months…I love Thier acrobatic flying displays and the way they catch the light as they turn. #lapwings #painting #oncanvas #inthestudio #acrylicpainting #workinprogress #exhibitionprep #wildlifeartist #wildcornwall

Trying to take some more photos of Kevin, the problem is he like to be stroked too much…so he is always right next to me or running towards me..bless him. #lovemysheep #artinspiration #texelsheep #smallholding #countrylife #countryliving #photographyproblems
