There’s still time for Santa to order one of my box canvas prints… limited edition & signed. ‘Some Things Never Change’ - inspired by the Malvern Hills 😊 #MalvernHills #painting #ledbury #localartist #archivalprintquality #stormylandscape #hills #Herefordshire #Worcestershire

Nice combo of wintery gloom and warming light in Ledbury 😍 #Ledbury #winter #stmichaels #herefordshire #light #artist

‘Digby’ here is a pastelmat format of my usual pet portrait - more detail, texture and depth. The surface holds more layers of soft pastel, as well as pastel pencil. #petportrait #pastel #dogportrait #giftidea #artist #ledbury #herefordshire #pastelmat

Life class 35-40 min poses… my measuring was a bit off #lifeclass #drawing #seawhiteofbrighton #fabercastell #pencil #sketch #malvern #drawfromlife #reclining #FridayFeeling

LOOKING forward to being Santa’s little helper - get your Christmas orders in for pet portraits - not just dogs, all pets welcome! 😊🤣 #pastels #pastelpencils #petportrait #dogportrait #gift #originalart #affordable #localartist #Herefordshire #worcestershire #gloucestershire

Light changes pictures! One of my favourite gallery tricks is to move things in and out of artificial and daylight, to show this, especially originals. The quality of this print makes it look like the original. If you would like to view it at my studio let me know 😊💡

Sorry Bonnie! 🤣🤣 I can empathise! 🥰 #petportrait #rescuepup #labrador #howitstartedvshowitsgoing #dogportrait #herefordshire #ledbury #localartist
