NEW PAINTINGS!!! I recently completed two new paintings both featuring the North Wales coast.

The first is a from a photo I took of my old dog Sadie running along the beach in Llandudno when the wet send was reflecting the sky. As soon as I took this photo I new it would make a great painting. I did have a false start with this one. The first painting I started just wasn't going in the direction I wanted it to, so I decided to crap it half way though and start from scratch and I'm really glad I did because the finished painting was exactly what I had pictured in my head. 

The second painting is also from a photo I took many years ago of some cormorants and herring gulls sitting on wooden posts in the sea off the coast of Rhos-on-Sea. I tried hard to be loose and free with this one because I tend to be a bit pedantic over small details sometimes. It was a challenge to leave it a little rough around the edges but I did it and I love it! (The little painter inside me is finding it very hard too leave it be though!)  

Both of these paintings were a new challenge for me in as I haven't done many water based landscapes. It was fun finding the colours and textures of water in different situations. I found I really enjoy painting the sea and will definitely be doing it more in the future!

You can now find my lovely new Art Bunny magnets, keyrings, coasters, greeting cards and cushions, along with some original art pieces, at Brew Corner in Wrexham!

Brew Corner is a new cafe and craft shop that sells art and craft made by local artists. There are some really lovely craft items and also some very yummy brownies! It is run by a lovely lady called Jayde and is well worth a visit if you're ever in the Wrexham area.
