Angels...

Burning the midnight oil..  

Sold

Painting angels..

Painted on found wood, husbands garage and a beach find.

Acrylic and gold leaf on wood.

Icons

Once again I am distracted with angels and twinkly stars..

It must be that time of year...

I got my sweetheart to make the wooden frames which are a triumph I might add.

Real gold leaf and anything that sparkles in candlelight.

These gentle ladies are almost finished.. 

And will be available soon..

Natural pigments, gesso, and life's balance

 I have an obsession with eggs at the moment... 

Eggs and balance...    ..'Life's balance'

Some are quite tiny on recycled wood. 

Fixings to be attached and names to follow..

Natures oddities..

When boy meets girl.

  Two logs from the wood pile.. 

On my work bench this week...

 

After my visit last week to see the 'rood screen' in St Edmund's church, Southwold, last week I am inspired.  I hadn't realized how medieval artists had subconsciously influenced my work for years...... And years!  Without me giving it a second thought!  Why hadn't I seen it?  To tell you the truth, I couldn't see wood from trees, even if I bumped into it.. 

So after the penny dropping, clang!  And thought processes now coming together, I am painting  a five paneled 'rood screen' of my own, very rough at the moment but it has potential, the mermaid is a little odd and the designs are a little rough but I feel excited by it, I feel some lino prints coming on next or maybe a collagraph print or two.

On Monday, a walk along the river.. Not my normal photo's of mud, I just couldn't resist this beauty..
