I count myself very lucky to live in the countryside. One of the highlights of Autumn is the screeching and hooting of tawny owls in the dark of the night. Their unique sounds are so funny that I forgive them waking me up as they dispute their territories, sometimes on the roof or a nearby tree. I once saw a tawny owl sitting on a low branch in broad daylight and am always hoping to catch sight of one at dusk.

Mole Watercolour Illustration/ Artwork
I know that they wreak havoc in people’s gardens, cricket pitches and the like, but I think moles are fascinating. This little mole illustration featured on a range of mugs produced for Hudson and Middleton.
Welsh Pony
An illustration created for Hudson and Middleton for a mug design. The mug featured the caption “Also Available in White.”
Robin, Bird Watercolour Illustration
I am a little obsessed with robins. This is a painting that I created for my newsletter logo, which features a robin I tamed in my garden. I am amazed by the intelligence and bravery of these little birds. I have learned a lot about them through my robin’s daily visits. You can find out more about my robin in this blog post. You can see the picture in action on the logo here.
Hare Watercolour Artwork
Where I used to live in rural Kent we were lucky enough to see these beautiful creatures from time to time. Once or twice, I came across them hopping up the lane, the black of the ears, bristly coat and long legs alerting me to the fact that this wild creature before me was certainly not a rabbit. I photographed some stages of the picture’s progress along the way. You can see these in this blog post and find out more about how I use watercolour.
You will find hare artwork for sale on my website, UK and international delivery.
Welsh Pony illustration
This watercolour illustration of a Welsh pony was used by Hudson and Middleton on a fine bone china mug design. The caption on the mug was “Also Available in White.” Anyone who owns a grey pony will relate to this!
Marmalade Cat Watercolour
I am told by those in the know that Marmalade cats have a little more attitude than other cats. I came across an interesting article on the subject of cat colours and their personalities, which may be of interest to the cat owners amongst you.

Limousin Cow
Oxted and Edenbridge Show has provided me with many opportunities to draw cattle. Here are ten important things to know about the breed from That’sFarming. https://www.thatsfarming.com/news/limousin-cattle
I painted this on some beautiful Whatman watercolour paper I managed to get my hands on (it was sadly discontinued). I have long since sold the picture and run out of this paper, but please browse my shop for the print.
