ACEO Series - Tulips

Since, like so many others, I am getting tired of the cold of winter I thought I would turn my attentions to the garden.  Amazingly, several of my plants are showing signs of life.  Many have buds and my Mountain Ash (Rowan Tree) even has a couple of leaves starting to unfurl!

This brings me nicely to my latest ACEO entitled ‘Mauve Tulip’ series.  I thought I might do a series so do watch out for the next instalment!

A Lunar Landscape…

Scientists talk about sending man to the moon but supposing there is some form of life as we know it already?
Imagine, giants and ghosts living in their very own castles in a lunar landscape? I am sure some of our well known giants from fairy tales of long ago would fit into this description!

I listed this ACEO in my Etsy shop entitled Lunar Castles.

An English Autumn Scene

I am slowly returning after the Christmas/New Year celebrations when I was totally laid up with flu!  Great!

Then as I was getting over that, I got another cold.  Now, over all that and trying very hard to get on with everything again.

And so, my friends, I have listed this encaustic painting in my artfire shop entitled ‘An English Autumn Scene’.

imageAutumn always incorporates some of my favourite colours, so warm and bright as nature gives a final blast before she beds down for the cold winter.

You may remember that this was actually one of my entries into the First Annual Autumn Arts Painting Challenge and Competition on Facebook.

Hopefully, this will be the start of my muse coming to work again!
