I'm busily working my way through my submissions for this year’s Royal Miniature Society exhibition 🧐
Inspired by my recent visit to the National Gallery and the stunning work of Rachel Ruysch, I thought I'd paint some flowers, and a ladybird for those with good eyesight 🧐 🤭
Here's a little painting recently sent down to the delightful Cotswold Contemporary Gallery...summer fruit is finally back 🥳
This has to be one of my favourite compositions to paint...though the etching on the jug can be a little challenging 😵‍💫
Thank you! Enjoy your larger work! 😃
Painting miniatures really helps focus your mind of what to include, and more importantly exclude, to make a composition work...I'd highly recommend getting out the magnifying glass and having a go 🧐
I love painting dandelions...though I'm not so keen on tidying up the mess from the seed heads afterwards 🥴
This painting was such a delight to work on, especially knowing what was awaiting once I'd finished 😋
This beautiful copper jug, for my latest painting, came from a local thrift shop. I love the marks and dents in the surface, bringing its own history along. I often wonder where they have come from and what they have seen?
Thank you! There's always around 20-30 hours in each painting...and 30 years practicing 🤭 ❤️
For those who love chocolate, but not the calories, this miniature painting is the perfect Easter gift 😄
Possibly my most complicated miniature painting so far. It reminded me that I have an opticians appointment on Friday 🧐🤭
The beauty of painting fruit is trying to recreate the unique markings, colours and shapes of each individual piece. I can't ever imagine growing tired of trying to capture this. Thank you nature!
This is my favourite copper kettle to paint. It was given to me from my dad, who salvaged it from a local scrap yard and cleaned it up for me.
Sadly I'm not related to Keith 😊
