Creating & Capturing Life's Precious Moments
I picked up a few Easter treats, some props for the studio and some chocolate for me! Some lovely new tableware, plates and bowls, some napery, the apples and the cute little carved bunnies. Makes for a lovely country-styled Easter table, don’t you think? All captured with my Sony a7R3 and my 90mm macro, f/2.8.…

I am always adding to my prop collection, it’s a sad obsession. Occasionally I go through and sell some stuff I never use, but mostly I can’t bear to part with much of it. I decided I need so pretty grey/green cups and things – I mean it is one of the ‘IN’ colours this…

Well, at least a cup of fresh coffee! Just playing around in the studio. I cut these cream bottlebrush from a neighbour’s garden (with permission). So pretty. I have red ones in my garden, must try and capture some of them this year too…my tree didn’t really flower last Autumn, but I am hoping it…

Yay! I finally opened the studio for 2022. We started off with a lovely Classic Still Life workshop. Five brand new faces were eager to learn what I had to teach. It felt so good to be back after an enforced two-month break. Between Christmas and New years and everything going on, I always close…

I recently went to visit my Aunt Jude, she has the most beautiful roses, and they were all flowering beautifully. Some were just past their prime and still gorgeous. So she cut me some so I could take them home and play with them in the studio…just gorgeous. I have been buying up some new…

Finally…we managed to lift lockdown and started back in the studio with workshops! YAY before I could run anything new, I had to play catch up on all the workshops that had been postponed, again and again… The first cab off the rank was Light Painting with Still Life. Sadly due to continuous date changes…
