Sometimes you mean to create some painted stones to leave in the forest. Then the eye appears, they look back at you and you just can't. This little cardinal lives at my house now ❤ Have you a painting you just had to keep (or one you wish you had ...?)

I've fallen for you... a little Halloween romance as high above the clouds, the cow who jumped over the moon settles in for a cuddle instead.<3

'Starkeeper' mixed media, tissue paper underlay. The star in her arms is both a memory of dear ones now departed, but also dreams and possibilities for the future..

Getting to know each other over home made jam sandwiches and hot tea from the thermos. Sometimes all you need are the simpler things.

'Watchful Moon' - 4" square canvas of an inquisitive moon, watching over a tiny house. Fascinated by the lights within, she wonders; 'How did they capture the warm glow of the Sun in such a tiny box?'. Golden and Jacquard Lumiere metallic paints on canvas.

"Keeper of the Trees', mixed media. Few people know that sheep exist in fairy form also, wings whirring as they tend to our planet's life giving trees. This young sheep fairy takes particular care of the puriri tree; home and vital food source of the kereru, or New Zealand woodpigeon.

Got their fish 'n' chip supper now; enjoying the sunset before a long leisurely ride home on the bike. (But only once I've painted their helmets, for safety's sake). Eye surgery causing a few delays :)
