New 'Heart' art prints ready for Valentine's

During the last week or so, while the rain and wind storms were raging outside my window, I decided to paint a few new originals for art prints to sell in my etsy shop.  Staying cosy and warm, I dreamed of Spring and the sunnier days to come but it is soon Valentine's Day and thought these prints would be perfect to do for this time of year.

'Friendship'.

'Dreaming'

'Rising Moon'

'The Moon and the Stars'

'The Gift'

All of these art prints have touches of gold leaf in the details, which I feel, make the colours sing and adds to the beauty of the prints.

More small originals coming soon.

Forest Glens and Rocky Beaches.

This is just one day in Ceredigion.... By rivers and wooded glens. Wild flowers and ferns beside our feet, uncurling and smiling up to the warm sunlight. Moss covered pathways of wood and stone mark our pathway ahead by the riverside. Megan leads the way.

Two quiet beaches together separated by the tide, we tip-toe through the icy waves where the only footprints are our own.

Soft sand and ripples of light sparkle on our faces.

Eyes bright and the colour of the sky.

The icy waves chasing our toes.

Time to dream and let the sound of the waves sooth our souls.

Drifting clouds bring the colours of time.

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.

New herbal spirit dolls

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.
These ooak dolls look lovely standing among plants at an altar.

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

So back to the goddess and mermaid world to sew on crystal chips and gorgeous beads.

Some of these are in my etsy shop and I'm working on the beginnings of another workshop for September.
