A work in progress pencil illustration of a heron standing on a log, it's looking into a river. There's a fish under the water.

I'm working on an illustration that's been living in my minds eye for ages, it feels good to finally get it onto paper!

A work in progress painting of a spaniel. Adding detail with brown pencil on top of a layer of watercolour.

It's been a while since I worked on a realistic pet portrait but painting Toby has been a joy 💚

They look like sweethearts! 💚

A realistic painting of a long-tailed tit standing on a branch which is covered in ants.

I'm really pleased with how this painting turned out, especially the little ants! 💚🐜

The face of a long-tailed tit drawn with pencil.

It always feels a little bit magic to me that I can make something like a little bird appear onto what was a blank sheet of paper just moments before! ✨

A painting of a toad sitting on a pile of treasure. The treasure includes jewellery, gems and shiny beetles.

Inspired by a toad that lives in our garden and J.R.R. Tolkien's The Hobbit - I imagined a dragon like amphibian atop his pile of treasure! I painted this a while ago and never got around to sharing it, I think he deserves to be seen though 😊

A painting of a singing male blackbird, stood on a mossy branch.

My first painting of the year was this singing blackbird, I painted him for a good friend's special Birthday 💚
