The basket I depicted in this painting has been dragged from home to home with me for over 35 years! I've used it many times as a prop for my art. Enjoy!

The beautiful pink geranium flowers in my garden were the inspiration for this very loose watercolour painting. Enjoy!

A relaxing morning spent creating watercolour flowers on paper.

White roses are beautiful and very special to me. I even gave a bunch to my then boyfriend now hubby before we got married over 32 years ago. Forget me not flowers are fab also and go perfectly together with white roses to say how you feel to someone special.

These flowers are wanting your attention. Painterly and loose watercolour floral design from my studio.

These gorgeous shabby pink roses represent for me the dance we take in our relationships with the people we love. Hence the name “Our Dance”.

Colourful Florals in watercolour and ink.

This design is an abstract watercolour painting with line art to give the impression of the tulips. Painted expressively in an abstract manner. This is part of my current artistic journey of exploring feelings visually. Enjoy!

My garden has beautiful pelargoniums flowering and their freedom to bloom inspired me to freely create with watercolor.

Still life that I set up with a letter from my Mum, candles made by my Son in a candle stick from Finland, cup from my Daughter and a rose from my garden in a vase which my Mum gave me.

Going for a walk in the garden and stopping to admire the flowering pelargoniums brings me so much joy. These are watercolour paintings of the red pelargoniums. They are so bright and cheerful but at the same time peaceful. I love how they turned out. My hope is that you too will love them.

‘In The Morning Light’ is the result of coming across a gorgeous reference photo in the wetcanvas reference library, so a big thank you to JEFrantz for the reference photo. What attracted me to the photo reference in the first instance was the lovely light throughout the picture. It so looks like a scene in early morning light. The main colours are all the blues and then for a bit of variation the pink and some green. And of course the browns in the floor and window sill. I’m very pleased how this painting worked out. :)

Watercolors are an organic medium. Watercolor does as water wants. I love how the result is sometimes a pleasant surprise. Here I have created a tile pattern from a watercolor painting. Enjoy.

Calendula are a delightfully brilliant burst of color in my garden. Every time I look at them I smile.

This gouache painting was inspired by watching the birds in our garden. Their antics can be hilarious!
