New Illustration Girl Blowing Bubbles Original Painting

New Woodland Owl and Fawn Art Illustration

After a busy Summer with the children and a lovely two week long holiday to France, routine has returned and I have some time to work on new artwork.
I have a very dreamy woodland illustration of a little fawn and an owl to show you. This illustration was created in a slightly different way to my usual mixed media paintings I first created a 3d paper collage painting of a woodland scene with one of my flowering tree and then I used lighting and took a photograph of the scene and played around with it a bit digitally. I am thrilled with the result I love the dreaminess of it! I hope to do lots more like this in the future it is more time consuming than my collage paintings but I love the result!
Here it is I hope you will like it too!
Just a quick note to remind followers that I have moved my photography to a new blog so if you wish to keep updated please follow the link!

Lush My New Original Portrait Painting

It's been nearly 2 months since my last post and I finally have a new portrait painting to share! Summer has been a really busy time with my online sales and with my three children home for the summer holidays! We did manage to escape all five of us to the mountains and the sea for two blissful weeks and for the first time in two years I shut up shop and left work behind!
Now with the my batteries recharged and the house back to myself during the day I have picked my paintbrush up and enjoyed some time to just paint. Quiet and uninterrupted!

So here is Lush my new mixed media portrait painting on wood (size 11.5" by 17") you can find it in my etsy shop!

I have been trying to get more original paintings done lately but find it hard to find the time! I wish I had the opportunity to paint every day but it's more like once or twice a week if I am lucky! Sometimes balancing home life, motherhood and my art is a real juggle but I am blessed to do something I love for a living!
