Nearly a quarter of century between painting these two - they are mother and daughter.

My friend is now in her eighties, and more than 25 years ago I painted her mother, then in her nineties🤗

Thank you so much 😊
After painting voluptuous peonies last week, I turned back to my roots with the equally bold, beautiful and wildly voluptuous proteas of South Africa, the country of my birth🌺

Available 🙂

Another painting fresh off the easel and straight from the heart — painted in celebration of friends. Happiness in motion. Wild and joyous. Here’s to the next joyful part of your beautiful journey together 🌿💛 #soulsofmyworld

Pause Between – Countertime in Northern Quarter

The quiet in-between moment: between order and coffee, between thoughts, between generations.

Edward Hopper-esque light and mood on a rainy night.

There’s nothing quite like flowers to shift energy in a room.

It’s not a big, bold piece. It’s quiet. Gentle. Uplifting in that calm, everyday kind of way.

If you love flowers the way I do—really love them—this one might speak to you too.

I find flowers simply irresistible! 🌸The gorgeous scent of freesias & lush velvety irises

And today's glorious sunshine here up north in Yorkshire evokes all the golden light needed to complete the picture!

The Church in the Sea - with daffodils

Daffodils are in full bloom now, and Eglwys Cwyfan, the "Church in the Sea," stands on its tidal island off the coast of Anglesey, shaped by time and tides.

Spring snow & cherry blossoms

This cherry tree was the first thing we planted when we bought this house.

My garden is my own little Monet haven (minus the lake, but I’ll take it!).

"I was made for an age of dirt roads,
soft light, quiet skies"

And the joy of painting these flowers - so alive, infused, energetic.

What a way to spend a day! #artistlife

Available for sale. DM for details 😊

In the midst of all the grey, cold days of winter’s final stretch, I find myself craving signs of spring.

I’m soaking in the promise of it. Hope this brings a little warmth your way too 🌿✨🍓

I moved around the mountain - Rondebosch, Claremont, Hout Bay for a chunk of my childhood, then Fish Hoek, Noordhoek, then Joburg. We live on the fringe of farmland and moors here!
Ooh that sounds nice! I'm in Yorkshire and also an eclectic mix, so my early Cape Town and later Melville days are echoed here too
Thanks Duncan, fully appreciated 🙂 So much to unpack in his behaviour - paternal, familial, historical (apartheid SA) and other increasingly disturbing factors.
Hi Matt! In the UK here 🙂
I notice over on the Xbird that no trending# of Musk and his salute. Seems he's algorithmically removed himself. Sadly I'm originally South African and I cringe, shudder, despair, anger each time his awful behaviour and views are linked to an entire country 30 years on from inhumane apartheid ☹️
What do we do with all the feelings of where the world is?

Some days there's no need to make a big noise unless moments call for it. Marching to the beat of your own drum in a noisy world where it can feel like others prescribe the pace is vital.

Some days we just need #quietude

I was trying to find this photo the other day! Here is me on the back of my dad's Triumph! Started young!
Ah great to get your comments 🙂 I can arrange a print for you. My email is [email protected] if you'd like to let me know size, address etc. Many thanks 🙂🏍
Meeee! I've followed you xx
Country Roads & Creative Days ❄️🏡

Still giving the icy country lanes a miss.

While I’m cosied up, here’s a recent painting gift, blending their passion for motorbikes (their old Triumph, no less!) with the dream of a road trip 🏍️✨

A scary world to navigate for young people today. My 23 year-old son has been taught Discernment by me, and to question the source of where the information is coming from, and how trustworthy it is/they are. As a former journalist myself...my huge hope is for parents to take a big role in educating.
The winter solstice is almost upon us—but even in the heart of winter, spring begins to whisper.

This painting came from that feeling- the days will grow longer, the sun will return.

Enjoy this whisper of spring to lift you! 🌸
