I have loved making this collection of Little Paintings for you this autumn. Little friends snug and happy in their frames. Lots have gone but there are still some of my favourite still life and landscapes available so do have a look. Thank you so
I’m so pleased to release my collection of 14 Little Paintings which is now live on my website. I’ve really enjoyed painting these little still life and landscapes. Each one is a little friend! They are all framed and ready to hang so
Just as the frost arrives to get the last of the nasturtiums and dahlias, these brave little primroses have decided to pop out in my garden. I just had to paint a few of them in this little still life. They look so beautifully delicate and yet they a
I am always drawn back to painting my little French ginger jars, this time playing with the backdrop. It gives the jar a very different feel to the more neutral backgrounds I’ve used previously. This still life is part of my Little Paintings
It’s so nice at this time of year when the shops start selling tangerines with their leaves on! I really enjoyed painting this little still life with one of them sitting happily in a little stack of bowls. The orange went so well with the deep
The Royal Institute of Oil Painters annual exhibition is now online and is looking wonderful! The selection of paintings is so beautiful and they are all available to view and purchase on the @mallgalleries website now. (or link bio) I am so please
Here’s my next mini still life painting for you on this dark, wet stormy night (if you are in the UK then you know what I’m talking about!) I’ve enjoyed focusing on the colours in this one. The greeny blue and the hint of pink pea
A little painting of a young money plant just getting going. I like the simplicity of the shapes and colours, the leaves reaching out, the round flower pot and the cool shadow cast across the ground. It is one of a series of mini paintings I’v

I am so very thrilled to have two pieces accepted into the Royal Institute of Oil Painters annual exhibition at the Mall Galleries in Londonthis year. I painted Money Plant with Friends earlier this year, part of a series of works with a similar th

A little painting of a quince nestled snuggly in one of my China bowls. It’s fascinating watching the colour of my pile of quinces change as time goes by. They are becoming far more yellow. And it’s a warmer yellow with fewer green highli
I’ve been wanting to paint my three ginger jars together in a still life for ages. They each have their own personality, one warmer than the other, another more delicate, but they all sit together so happily. A good test of painting tonal valu
I’ve been painting another still life of some little stacks of bowls. They are a real mixture or ages and makers but all fit together so well. I really enjoy painting them as each one has its own personality. I have lots of exciting things com
I’ve been painting a still life with my quinces again. This time with a dark background inspired by some of William Nicholson’s oil paintings. They are sitting on a book about Eric Ravilious and his circle which, as well as being a very
My friend gave me a big bag of the most beautiful quinces from her tree this week. They are absolutely the most gorgeous colour and shape - a bit like pears but bumpier, furrier and a bit more yellow! I realised, as I was driving along just now, tha
