cats and sketching

I haven't drawn in a while and my kitten Theo was sleeping so peacefully I just had to get my sketch book out and do a quick sketch before he moved!!I even had time to put a bit of colour on ....he was sound asleep.....

renew

I decided to redo this painting as the background just seemed to dark. OK it may be a little more commercial but hey there is nothing wrong with that!!

I think the twins stand out a little better as they are not competing with the back ground, also it looks better on my wall !!!

Just like Mum!

This is Molly my youngest ( I also have two boys Reeve 15 and Cal 14) She joined me this evening while I was painting and asked me to draw her a quick sketch of one of my girls that she could paint! The lovely raven haired girl is Mollys, she painted and inked her all by herself! Such talent!! The last pic is my effort ...it is Molly and her dolly!!!

As you can probably tell I don't have the luxury of my own studio space but I have to take over the dining room table!!

fairy babies

Some new Aceos for Etsy ! I haven't drawn fairies or baby faries for a while but they are just so cute and I had missed their striped 'onesies'. You can see more on my deviant art site www.firejay.deviantart.com and they are available at my etsy store!

a ballerina for mothers day

This is a ballerina for my mother in law ! I have never painted a ballerina before and was a little apprehensive, but after various attempts that included legs ,I gave up and painted one without!!!


This has been painted in a style that my mother in law would like but still hoping to keep elements of me!!I think she looks a little Victorian?

red nose day bits and pieces

I made these for my 9 year old daughter to sell on a stall at school for red nose day.

The top pic is of little wrist bands made out of scraps of fabric, the red bit is a fleece blanket from Ikea that I was going to make a camping poncho from! The bottom pic are little brooches again made from scraps and buttons! Lets hope she made lots of money for charity!!!

something new

a little experiment ....I love etchings and like to make my illustrations have that etchingy style.

I have tried to limit my colours to give them a 40s/ 50s feel. I am selling them as aceo prints on Etsy!!
