Miniature is the latest inspiration.Some of the new paintings that I have been working on during the late Summer and Autumn have become smaller, and with a black chunky frame, they look so inviting and mysterious.

These are a few images that I have to show you for now. Many more to come!<br />

Bluebells fill the woodland floor creating a carpet of blues and new leaves of ferns uncurling. The jewel like greens and creamy pink blossoms are gifts from the trees for the birds that are singing their celebration of Spring time once again.<br />

While walking the tiny country lanes I find that everywhere has come alive with the first flowers of Spring. Snowdrops are fading now to create the space for daffodils and celandines and the first of the cherry blossom are in company of singing birds calling their mate home for the evening.<br />
The soft Spring light after the rains has inspired new paintings of nature as it returns to new life.<br />

These are also available in my etsy shop as prints and look out for the greeting cards too!

Summer is here at last and the garden is looking amazing this year with all the flowers and our honey bees are doing their magic travelling from colour to colour. After finishing a few commissions this last month, I have had a look back at some of the sketches I have kept in my art draw and decided to draw with pencil and pen and ink to create small pieces of art.
First I'll show the older sketches.

There is a folklore tale that inspired me to draw 'The Keeper of Special Things'.
To cut a long story short, and once upon a time, a young princess was lured into a Kings ancient greek kingdom by the most beautiful bright and shiny jewels of crystal and gold. Not so long after, when her father found out he was so angry at her he changed her into a jackdaw. This is why the jackdaw loves bright and shiny things....but look at where she is now and what she has found. I might make this into a story to write soon.

By rivers and wooded glens. Wild flowers and ferns beside our feet, uncurling and smiling up to the warm sunlight.

The tide is coming back in now and we cross over the dark rocks with bare feet, trying to catch the red sparks of the sunlit sea.

Tired after the salty air we sleep. The soft dawn light mirrors the next day.

' Dawn Delight'.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I adore the colours that Lisa chose for her painting, warm reds, rusts, golds and purples. This commission was painted in a few weeks but was difficult to stop adding more details of leaves and wild flowers in the foreground, it was such a joy to paint! A song for spring time and the soft golden light of a warming sun stealing the night sky away with just a faint glow of a crescent moon and an owl silently gliding his way home.<br />
<br />
Thank you Lisa.<br />

The black bird is the first to start the dawn chorus and wakes the sleepy heads into the new day. It has been still been quite cold here and the flowers are longing for some sunshine and it was only yesterday I saw the first honey bee. I think by the end of this week we will have some warm sunshine at last.<br />
<br />
While waiting for the warm late Spring days, I have been busy making new orders for prints and cards for galleries and gift shops. Painting original paintings and finishing commissions. June is going to be another busy month supplying art galleries with new works and giclee prints and listing new small mounted prints for my etsy shop. I thought I would show you a few that will be available in a day or so.<br />

This May my paintings and giclee prints are being shown in this wonderful art gallery, Obsidian Art.

Please visit Obsidian Art Gallery whenever you can and feel the magic of every single art piece.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This exhibition in May is of 'Folklore and Fairy Tale'. </div>

It is just under an hours drive through the essex countryside and being careful of the<br />
high tides, you can take the road over the estuary with a view of all the wildlife and the salty mud flats. I remember coming here with my grandad when I was a girl and watching the swans fly in home. I loved the salty breeze and big skies with the quiet sandy beach. Colourful beach huts lined the edges of the creamy coloured, seaweedy sand and the soft sound of the waves lapping the shore. I always filled my pockets with beautiful seashells and driftwood to take home and display on my bedroom dressing table. Later to sketch and draw the memories of our day in the sunshine.<br />

On the way home we could tell it was going to be a stunning sunset. An hour later, I ran to the top of the hill near to where we live and managed to capture the last of the big red sun and moody light. The feeling was so peaceful and still with an aura of magic as the great sun went to sleep.<br />

<br />
Last month, I was contacted by a lovely lady named Gemma. She commissioned me to paint something special for her. So in this post I will show you the start to finish images of how I created this original painting.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-0rNVHhT-TIM/URJnkABnDcI/AAAAAAAAA08/VaJx8LVff6A/s1600/sketch+for+Gemma+blog+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="318" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-0rNVHhT-TIM/URJnkABnDcI/AAAAAAAAA08/VaJx8LVff6A/s320/sketch+for+Gemma+blog+1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
I made a sketch of the ideas that Gemma had for her painting. She wanted to include, a hare, badger,fox and a deer with the standing stones next to a stream along with my usual style of landscapes.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-9Gv-WW1JP7M/URJoj-BZG4I/AAAAAAAAA1U/R6D_UF0zsp4/s1600/pic+1+for+blog.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-9Gv-WW1JP7M/URJoj-BZG4I/AAAAAAAAA1U/R6D_UF0zsp4/s320/pic+1+for+blog.jpg" width="241" /></a></div>
<br />
I applied three layers of gesso on board , sanding lightly between coats to create a smooth top layer. I used acrylic paints for this painting and started with a light wash of colour for the sky and background hills.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-XOjHq01dync/URJqVjvp7EI/AAAAAAAAA1g/pnzo6BJqbU0/s1600/pic+2+for+blog.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="241" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-XOjHq01dync/URJqVjvp7EI/AAAAAAAAA1g/pnzo6BJqbU0/s320/pic+2+for+blog.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-OjTVWN5rODs/URJqjyQgJwI/AAAAAAAAA1o/1xYdsYwN7z0/s1600/pic+3+for+blog.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="241" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-OjTVWN5rODs/URJqjyQgJwI/AAAAAAAAA1o/1xYdsYwN7z0/s320/pic+3+for+blog.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
For the foreground and trees, I painted a wash of blues and purples.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-495pVJsfNlM/URJrAtsAFpI/AAAAAAAAA1w/PVEYs-ACkQU/s1600/pic+8+for+blog.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-495pVJsfNlM/URJrAtsAFpI/AAAAAAAAA1w/PVEYs-ACkQU/s200/pic+8+for+blog.jpg" width="180" /></a></div>
While adding layers of colour on the landscape, I started to add, 'Mr Fox', adding details around him like the trees and branches.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-vydJuthFjy4/URJrqyP2a4I/AAAAAAAAA14/EufkwkMGbjY/s1600/pic+7+for+blog.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-vydJuthFjy4/URJrqyP2a4I/AAAAAAAAA14/EufkwkMGbjY/s200/pic+7+for+blog.jpg" width="127" /></a></div>
<br />
I added details of grasses and wild flowers with the deer and standing stones.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-7DVNdQr7gNo/URJsIcm4awI/AAAAAAAAA2A/zcgj8Hpztao/s1600/pic+9+for+blog.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="175" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-7DVNdQr7gNo/URJsIcm4awI/AAAAAAAAA2A/zcgj8Hpztao/s200/pic+9+for+blog.jpg" width="200" /></a></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-dpQ-qfxIkCA/URJsR1PsQ3I/AAAAAAAAA2I/dApBS2SosSs/s1600/pic+10+for+blog.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="132" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-dpQ-qfxIkCA/URJsR1PsQ3I/AAAAAAAAA2I/dApBS2SosSs/s320/pic+10+for+blog.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Towards the foreground, I painted the badger and on the other side of the painting, I decided the hare would look much better if he was running in the other direction from the sketch I started with. This created a much better flow to the painting. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-qTOhPt4Te8Q/URJtMqFEdyI/AAAAAAAAA2Q/vNXOgcb7cLw/s1600/pic+11+for+blog.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="241" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-qTOhPt4Te8Q/URJtMqFEdyI/AAAAAAAAA2Q/vNXOgcb7cLw/s320/pic+11+for+blog.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
After adding the final details to the trees and grasses, I completed the painting by adding the crescent moon to the dawn sky. Here is the finished commission for Gemma. 'The New Day'.<br />
I finished the painting within one week and let it dry before varnishing and adding a little amount of mica in the tree tops.<br />
Gemma is picking up her painting today along with 12 greeting cards that I made for her from the painting.<br />
<br />
I will be posting on facebook too if you would like to visit my page there, just follow the facebook link on this page. <br />

We have so many floods here in the UK now. Today I have heard there are 500 flood warnings.<br />
I am wishing for snow so we all can have that yule time and Christmas magic. Whether floods or snow the roads are difficult to pass so we may as well have our sledges and have some fun.<br />
The widened rivers have at least brought a few egrets close and they are a beautiful sight!<br />

Inspiration for new paintings. The way the grasses look as empty stalks and the seeds as empty shells. Trees catching the light of an early frosty morning. Bright stars against a deep inky night sky. The blues, indigos, muted greens and greys.<br />

Nature looks like it is frozen in time. Ice making everything sparkle in the soft sunlight. The time of year to celebrate the re-birth of the sun and after the 25th December, the days start to get longer.<br />

Cosy and warm by the fireside with trinkets and stars and the feel of fairytale magic in the air and a new year ready to begin, carrying within it's wings, hope, love and joy. I remember these magical days as a child and hold the memories close to my heart.<br />

After this busy season, I shall return to writing and illustrating again.<br />
Thank you to all you friends and followers, and people who have kept me busy making and packing for the etsy sales of prints and cards. You will soon have new prints to see.<br />

'Sky of Angels' by Amanda Clark<br />
<br />
Inspiration for this painting comes from the incredible weather we have been having lately and I was watching late one night, clouds moving so fast across the sky, it seemed as if they were flying to peoples aid. They resembled 'Sky Angels'. In the U.K, we have had so many floods. Europe, America and other places near and far having terrible storms. There is a story for children in my heart that I would love to write one day. A tale of our beautiful mother earth. Tales like these may be myths of our time one day.<br />

This beautiful harbour has boatfuls of folklore and tales of goblins, vampires and other ghostly stories, but my tale has a blue crow, an elemental Queen, a hob (goblin), a mermaid and a prince. I'm not sure if I will ever have this book published but I'm making another hand made book especially for these illustrated pages.<br />
Here are a few illustrations that may appear with this story.<br />

The cover of this book will be hand painted but first I have a few other illustrations to sketch in pencil to finish this story.<br />

I can think of many other harbours and coastal villages around this island that I would love to create a mysterious tale or two!<br />

Try as I might, I cannot just paint pictures. So I have been making new spirit dolls with herbs inside such as dried rose buds and lavender.<br />
These ooak dolls look lovely standing among plants at an altar.<br />

I love hand sewing. I do have a sewing machine, for I find hand sewing is so therapeutic and peaceful. <br />

So back to the goddess and mermaid world to sew on crystal chips and gorgeous beads.<br />

Some of these are in my etsy shop and I'm working on the beginnings of another workshop for September.earthangelsartshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00121367490350042319noreply@blogger.com13
