I never realised cabbages could be beautiful!

It was hard to work out the light and blur in this one – too much dark and it was too cabbagey, too light and it lost its structure..hoping I’ve found a happy medium..!

I hope you like this small flower, another from my favourite eyelash plant.

I did experiment with some layers in the background, but actually in the end I liked the space, it felt a bit like the first days of spring, when you step out into open air!

Happy Easter!

Somehow the black and white fed into the colour here. It makes a story to me, in Cornish light.

I tried tinsel, biscuits, and baubles, but pears won.

Getting in early to wish you a wonderful Christmas time,

and such a Happy New Year.

See you round the bend!

I was excited last weekend to find that my music and photographs were featured on Elsa Mora’s generous and lovely blog, Art is a Way.

I’ve been a huge admirer of Elsa’s work for several years now – her intricate papercut work and other fantastic creations are so inspiring. I feel really honoured to be listed there!

The first featured image was one that I had kind of put to the back of my mind, and it was nice to be reminded of it. It inspired me to give this small girl a new view..

This is how it felt to me..

Dream Fishing

Sleep just didn’t want to happen in this wild and windy night tonight, so I distracted myself and made this collage.

Layer upon layer of golden fossilised fish..

(this is taken from a scan of a Mene rhombeus, which, according to Bristol University (take a look at their brilliant cabinet of curiosities), is a beautifully-preserved fossil fish from the famous Monte Bolca (or Pesciara) site, in Verona, Italy, from some 50 million years ago!)
