A wee film on my process .. this isn’t a one off .. it happens all the time .. hating your own painting leads to drastic actions.. watch 👀and see

💦Some close up shots of this unusual watercolour.. unusual in that it is painted on Yupo paper
. For the watercolorists out there you’ll appreciate how slippery this customer is !! You basically have to unlearn all your watercolour knowledge and start again 😂

‼️Last chance to see an outstanding exhibition including these 5 paintings of mine at this year’s Annual Exhibition of the Royal Institute of Painters in Water Colours at the Mall Galleries,
which runs til tomorrow 11 April.
Sorry for the cropped versions .. you all know Insta! .. and also sorry for the 2 wee boat scenes , they are painted on glass and mirror and make it nightmare to photograph .. who ever thought it was a good idea !!🙄
Much better to see them in the flesh for sure !
The exhibition is online, and all the works can be viewed (and purchased) via the Mall Galleries website:

Go see some the best of the watercolours around!

‘Scorched But Not Defeated ‘
Smoke and Watercolour on embossed paper
Yesterday I was asked what meaning this piece had ..
well it’s a long story but essentially my dear husband and daughter in law both suffered life threatening traumatic events at this time of production..and the rest ?..well that’s up to you .. pay a visit to the exhibition and see where my inspiration for the use of smoke comes from ! 🙏
It Is part of a fantastic collaborative exhibition with 12 participating Artists
