The exuberance of spring, and my workroom warming up enough to sit in there for longer than 3 minutes resulted in the annual burst of joy at getting back to real materials! See March and April of last year.
​I started on a few watercolours during the week. It wasn't that easy to find my groove after a few months of digital-in-the-dark-days work, but after a couple of false starts the ease and looseness began to flow. I am also experimenting with something new to me: working watercolour together with coloured pencils. I have always been more of a gouache girl.

Still working on iPad before it gets completely light in the mornings, I also finished this camping pattern with colourful teepees, an idea I have had in the background for a couple of weeks.

I am enjoying compiling these collages of my work from the week and posting them on my Instagram. I am using lots of bright new colours right now, which I love - it's great to lighten up. Here we have watercolours, dots and teepees from the week alongside weekend revisiting work from last year - and a new profile pic.

​Thanks for visiting, see you soon!

My best nine posts on Instagram this year. I am so grateful for every single like and comment, and for those wonderful people who have supported my work for years.
