I recently shared a post featuring some new artwork – Autumn & Winter, and now here as promised is Spring and Summer. I used a different raven/crow image for each one, but the key and the wren are the same. The Spring I added rabbits and a cute rat, and of course Spring blossoms. Summer…

Fairy Stories – Autumn & Winter
I often surprise myself, when and where my inspiration comes from. Earlier in the day a friend of mine posted a couple of bird photos, raven or crow (I prefer ravens but I am not 100% what these are) and I asked if I could ‘steal’ them to play with. Kellye kindly sent me two…

If you have been following me for a while, you may remember Rachelle, possibly even this red dress and the red balloons, we had a fun-filled day a few years ago. Rachelle now lives back in New Zealand, so we don’t really get to create in the studio anymore, but I still have fond memories…
