Pinnacle Rock, Mowing Word Bay near Barafundle. 8” x 6” oil on board I love this distinctive rock on the walk between Barafundle and Broadhaven on the Stackpole Estate. I’m quite taken by the colour palette of this little painting I might do a larger one.

Servern Estuary Grassland and The Old Bridge. 8” x 6” oil on board I painted this on Wednesday after a commission meeting on the other side of the bridge. My husband caught site of it and apparently it’s now his favourite painting, so there’s lovely.

Clouds over the New Severn Bridge 8”x6” oil on board I’ve had a few commission and drop off appointments near Bristol recently so I then enjoy painting at Aust between the two Severn Bridges. I now have quite a few new bridge paintings of to share.

Nolton Haven Wet Beach and Stream 6” x 8” oil on board When I go on a painting trip I’m always very keen to start painting straight away, so after a drive I want to go to familiar place where I know I can start painting straight away, Nolton Haven is often my first stop on a Pembrokeshire trip.

Nolton Haven with Rain Showers 8”x 6” oil on board Nolton Haven was my first stop last week on my little painting trip, the weather was a tad windy with showers but it was so nice to be painting at the coast listening to the oyster catchers.

The tide goes out really quickly at Solva! I’ve just got home after a very busy couple of days in Pembrokeshire, delivering new paintings to _goldensheafgallery_ workshopwalesgallery and west_gate_gallery_pembroke and painting, lots of painting!

I was really pleased to be asked to include paintings in the Albany Galleries ‘Spring Awakening’ exhibition, I loved working towards it and especially enjoyed doing this larger painting of a daffodil farm near Solva. The exhibition opens next Friday. Perfect for Spring!

I was really pleased to be asked to include paintings in the Albany Galleries ‘Spring Awakening’ exhibition, I loved working towards it and especially enjoyed doing this larger painting of a daffodil farm near Solva. I found this field on my trip to Pembrokeshire last March on a sunny hazy Spring day. 

The exhibition opens next Friday. 

Perfect for Spring!

I’ve been busy in the studio over the last few days framing new paintings to deliver to Pembrokeshire. This colourful painting of the Parrog is destined for Workshop Wales near Fishguard, and I’m looking forward to painting in the area after dropping them off.

Dydd Gŵyl Dewi Hapus I’ll be spending the day painting daffodils, I’ve also been learning a little bit of Welsh everyday for the last two months which has been challenging but fulfilling so I’m looking forward to today’s lesson.

I’m popping to Ardent Gallery in Brecon tomorrow to drop off paintings for their Woman’s Day Exhibition, including these two new paintings of Pen y Fan have a lovely spring feel. I’m hoping to do some plein air painting as well if the weather cooperates 😏

A couple of weeks ago I visited @workersgallery near Porth, I also took the opportunity to paint at Trehafod, it was very murky with heavy rain so I had to find a close-up view. So these winding gears were perfect, I treated it as a quick sketch and not get to engulfed in the detail.

The Eight Arch Bridge, Bosherston Pembrokeshire. 8” x 6” oil on board This one is from a lovely walk last summer, Stackpole to Bosherston via Barafundle and Broadhaven. It’s definitely one of my favourite walks. You can only see seven of the eight arches from this angle.
