I am about to create my first collection of screen prints with Ben Dodge at the Factory Kendal. I have started to layer up my drawings and paintings in photoshop to work out colour and composition possibilities – exciting! Here are a couple of my ideas so far…
Still got the Blues…and pink and gold
The latest in my series of Delphinium floral paintings has been created with a mixed media approach of using watercolours enhanced with gouache, inks and pastels. I have just bought my first sweet peas so keep an eye out for these appearing in the next few paintings! The Sweet Peas posing in front of one of the ‘delph’ paintings

Pouring watercolour paint
This is the start of a new series of large semi-abstract watercolour paintings inspired by spring flowers – the studio smells divine 🙂
