Hello folks, it looks like spring is upon us, and with it a wee burst of energy.

NEWS

I painted some smaller pieces for the Tolquhon Gallery Spring Exhibition, and have sent them up there along with my beloved rhubarb and some other pretties, all for sale if you’re looking for something to put some zing in your spring!

 

 

This year I became a part of Visual Arts Scotland, and I have a few small pieces in their unframed 30 x 30 category (all under £250), which will be at their exhibitions this year, which include the Borders Art Fair,  Dalkeith Country House and Palace in August 2025 and the VAS Biennial Edinburgh in December 2025.

Some pieces submitted:

Crocus ‘Gipsy Girl’
Agapanthus bud

 

WORK IN PROGRESS

I’m slowly progressing with a beautiful amaryllis at the moment – just opening up, and I think she’s got quite a triumphal air about her!

 

EXHIBITION

One of my favourites, ‘Peony, Greenbank Garden‘, is hanging as part of the current exhibition ‘Botanical Blues‘ at the Shirley Sherwood Gallery of Botanical Art in Kew Gardens, London.

This exhibition will be on until the 23rd of March 2025.

RECENT WORK

Finished is my second peony from Greenbank Garden’s gorgeous little walled garden bit (big thanks to the gardeners who let me basically deadhead their peonies now and again!). It’s my biggest painting yet, at 105 x 76 cm, and I’ve got a drawerful of fabriano artistico paper at this size, so will be using more of it this year.

 

I put the finishing touches to my Darmera peltata leaf, and had it scanned. Pretty happy with how it turned out, it feels satisfyingly crunchy.

Thank you so much for reading, and happy internetting.
