Welsh Tip Girl
Oil on canvas!
Tin leaf!

Thinking of all those women who have worked and continue to work everywhere!
The faceless nameless women who have kept our communities going!
Those who face war, violence and hardship!
Sisters!

The Smile of Spring Light There is a moment each spring when the light changes. After months of grey skies and muted colour, the sun suddenly appears.

Something different today. This is my local castle, about a 12-15 min walk from my house, it even has a moat! You can also get married there :)

In other news, I've packaged up all 32 weekend orders and they're being dropped at the sorting office tomorrow morning 🥰

16x12inch, oil. The ancient landscape of the Preseli mountains in Pembrokeshire is one of Wales' most picturesque and interesting upland areas. This natural rock window is near Ty Canol, a wild and beautiful part of the mountain. #welshart

Painted in 1904, this portrait comes from Welsh artist Augustus John’s early, high-intensity years, when he was gaining fame for psychologically charged likenesses. The title “Ardor” (“burning feeling” or “intensity”) guides the emotional register. This isn’t a neutral likeness so much as an intimate study of presence. The sitter is Dorothy “Dorelia” McNeill, a central figure in Augustus John’s life and work as his partner, muse, and subject of many portraits during the 1900s. 

A tightly framed oil portrait shows a young Dorelia from the chest up against a soft, smoky grey ground. She turns her head slightly while looking back toward our left, her dark eyes steady and alert. Her skin is fair/light with warm blush across both cheeks as bright highlights catch her forehead, nose, and cheekbones, giving her face a living sheen. Her dark hair is swept back from a high hairline and falls in loose curls at the temples. The mouth forms a small, closed-lip smile that is more private than performative while her raised brow line and half-lidded gaze add a hint of amused confidence. She wears a black, collarless jacket fastened with small round buttons, opened to a white blouse. The paint is most precise around the eyes and mouth. Elsewhere, edges soften and brushwork loosens, letting her face emerge from shadow without hard outlines. Fine surface cracking is visible across the background and hair.

Dorelia’s sidelong glance and half-smile suggest she’s in on a thought we don’t fully share. With no props, jewelry, or setting to “explain” her, the painting insists on the authority of expression. She is not softened into sweetness or decorum, but presented as self-possessed … warm, watchful, and unyielding about the boundary between observer and observed. The restrained palette of charcoal, black, muted cream, and flesh tones, intensifies that effect, through small details like the tilt of her head, the pull of light on skin, and that one-of-a-kind, almost-spoken smirk.

Time-lapse and a chance to talk about folklore! And the time I was semi traumatised by my teacher 😬

Have you heard of the Mari Lwyd? Would you let her in your house?? 👀

A crop of a digital painting using soft textured brushes. A light skinned, ginger woman wearing traditional Welsh clothing looks up in wonder at her partner off screen, who wears a red shawl. Daffodils can be seen in front and behind them. Golden sun glows off the couple.

Here is an update on my Welsh lesbian piece for @taplingzines.bsky.social's queer history project—not too far to go now!

Daffodils, Wales' national flower, represent renewal/rebirth, hope and new beginnings, which feels perfect when celebrating our history.
