Wolf

Lone Wolf

Acrylic on canvas

I have painted animals for years, and just loved the feel
of this wolf so put him in a snowy backdrop.

Just love to play in watercolours,
and thought a bird would be a challenge.

The Swimming Hole

16"x20"
Acrylics on canvas
My youngest daughter caught in the summer
at a beautiful swimming hole.

As the mother of four children many of her paintings have a theme with youngsters.
The love of animals and nature is also reflected in many of her paintings...
Her passion for colour is evident in the vivid hues and tones she uses.
The inspiration of the English countryside is clearly identifiable in her work.
