This page showcases some of my watercolour paintings, in different styles, usually of Cornwall

I am so lucky to live in Cornwall, it is a beautiful county and I am surrounded by wonderful scenery that just inspires me to paint, not only seascape scenes but I also love our Cornish Tin Mines, that dot the landscape, especially around Redruth. This page will share some of my images, and perhaps encourage you to buy! I have a range of products on my website, including original paintings and cards; miniature acrylic paintings; prints and cards

Update : I have restocked at The Craft Collective, in Redruth.
This month I have a wider range of products and locations, including my original watercolour mounted paintings and cards; coasters; printed cards and cards and tags for Christmas.
I'm always eager to hear from you - what do you think I should stock at The Craft Collective? Share your thoughts below and let's grow together! Thanks for your support!

At Sribblegroup this week at , Redruth, we had a play learning Monotype printing.
We covered an acrylic sheet with black paint using a roller. Then we used a embossing tool to "draw" on a piece of paper (you couldn't see what you had drawn). This created an impression or a print of the picture. You can’t really see the end result until you lift the paper off. It was great fun. I decided to have a go at drawing some of my favourite scenes. First I had to reverse my photo otherwise Godrevy lighthouse would have been on the opposite side. Then I did in initial quick sketch (in reverse), using this sketch as a template, I placed this paper on the acrylic sheet and embossed over the sketch and add more lines, texture etc. Lastly I lifted the paper and the final image is back the right way round!
I love learning new techniques with no pressure – here are some of my drawings, in case my description doesn't make sense!

I made the most of the lovely weather yesterday and went to St Mawes. Looking beautiful, as always. Did some sketching; had lunch at the Seafood Bar; enjoyed a swim and went on the King Harry Ferry.
Definitely one of those days when I really appreciate living in Cornwall.

New Winter Watercolour Cards Now Available!

I'm so excited to announce that my new collection of winter greeting cards is live on the website (link below) and are also available at The Craft Collective in Redruth!

The cards are printed from my original watercolour paintings, so capture the peaceful magic and dramatic beauty of winter—from dark, moody skies over snow-covered boulders on Bodmin Moor, to iconic local tin mines near Redruth like Wheal Peevor, and delicate frost-laden trees.

Details:
• Generous 6" x 6" square cards on premium matte 350gsm cardstock
• Blank inside for your own personal message
• Includes white envelope & protective cellophane sleeve
• Free UK postage & packing included!

Plus I have had a reprint of Santa coming out of Wheal Uny Engine House, because that has been so popular.

I have dropped more stock into The Craft Collective in Redruth. They include my 6x6 and A5 cards; a couple of small mounted paintings; new boxes (if you buy 4 coasters you can have a free box) and my magnets (which didn’t sell at St Just! 🤞).

That’s a wrap on the St Just Art & Craft Fair!

A huge, heartfelt thank you to everyone who stopped by, picked up a piece, voted on designs, while I was getting ready! My sales were fantastic—matching last year's totals and raising wonderful funds for Cancer Research. The final figures for Cancer Research are still being finalised and apparently, they are were only 1% down on last year's record breaker. Great news with such glorious weather.

Here is a quick "behind-the-scenes" honest breakdown of how my stock fared:

The Cards: A few of the crowd favorites you helped me choose sold out completely (Sennen and St Michael'sMount)! Others took a scenic route and moved a bit slower. If you missed out at the fair, don't worry—the remaining cards are for sale at The Craft Collective in Redruth!

The Drinks Mats: These were popular and nearly sold out completely!

The Mystery Magnets: They are a mystery: my beach scene magnets didn't sell a single one, despite featuring the exact same artwork style as the popular drinks mats! You win some, you learn some. ‍️

Thank you all again for your incredible support. Pop into The Craft Collective in Redruth if you'd like to grab any of the remaining coastal cards or gift tags!

Whilst at Gylly Beach this morning, I enjoyed a lovely swim then a coffee at Gylly Cafe where I did a quick sketch. My large gift tags are proving popular at St Just Art & Craft fair so this sketch will help replenish stock.

The Arts and Craft Show is now open - details in the post below.

Stall setup complete!

My unmanned display for the St Just Art and Craft Fair is all set up ready for when it starts this coming Monday.
Since the weather was so gorgeous today, I celebrated by heading down to beautiful Cape Cornwall for a little relaxation—and got my paints out to do a quick sketch. You can never start prepping too early for next year, right?
