THE EMPRESSES AND ANGELS COLLECTION Selene the moon godddess is the latest in my Empresses and Angels Collection (although since this is the second goddess that I have painted I am thinking of calling it the Empress, Goddess and Angels Collection!) My wee beastie was unintentionally named after two goddesses. In fact one of her names is a derivative of Selene. So when she saw I was painting her next she was naturally beside herself … Continue reading SELENE the Moon Goddess
I have totally been putting this painting off. I started it last October, and for the next four months, every week I would put 'Finish Draco' on my to do list! Seriously every week.

But as so often happens in my painting journeys, the original vision for the painting transformed. While … Continue reading The Warrior Beneath
Mermaids have always been a favourite of mine to paint. When I was little SPLASH with Darryl Hannah and Tom Hanks was my favourite movie. I cannot tell you how many times I watched that movie (but I could quote it line for line!) My sister and cousin would play 'splash' for hours in the summer in my grandparents pool, swimming like mermaids, making that high pitched 'eeeeeee' noise that Maddison did. And when winter … Continue reading The Mermies are in da house!
