Here you will find my latest ideas and experiments.
You may have seen this primrose illustration in my post from yesterday. Well, I liked it so much that I decided to take it and further develop it into its own illustration. By adding a few moths, a black arch frame, and a crescent moon its become one of my favourite pieces that I’ve made!
I’m very tempted to make it available as a print in my shop so do let me know if you would be interested in one!
At the time of sketching up this spread there were dozens of wild primroses peeking their heads out of the grass in our garden. They’re one of my favourite flowers, not just because they are one of the first flowers to bloom in spring, but mainly because it reminds me of walking around my grandparent’s farm in Cornwall, where these flowers thrive! They feel very nostalgic!
I paired the primrose sketch with an illustration of some roses and a reminder for when I’m being too hard on myself for not getting through my overly ambitious to-do list. I don’t use text in my work often but it is interesting to work with and I may incorporate more in future work too!
Here are my collection of sketches to celebrate St David’s Day! To me, there is nothing more quintessentially Welsh than Daffodils and Red Kites. All the Daffodils were blooming in the garden at the time and I see so many Red Kites here in the Brecon Beacons that they’ve quickly become one of my favourite birds of prey.
This collection was a naturalist take on celebrating Wales and I’m really pleased with how it came out.
