Just realised I haven't shared the last 2 paintings I did before I had to stop to concentrate on my face painting and henna business.

I loved painting this birthday card for an anime fan. It's the first time I've tried it so copied the eyes and shapes from various anime art online. The eyes are so big and full of expression, they'd be perfect on a face paint🤔!

Just thought I'd show a little step by step of the process. I like to start on the main features and then get the collar painted before I start adding fur detail.

🥰 TIA 🐶
Such a sweet face to paint, she's smiling for the camera ☺

I haven't posted anything for so long as I've been busy facepainting at lots of parties and events so trying to paint and craft inbetween has been tough!
I'm pleased to share my first horse portrait of the lovely Nekenito 😍. It was hard to get the shading and angle right looking straight on but I'm happy with the end result 😊

Dalek birthday card for a big Dr Who fan!

Happy 16th Birthday to Lucas, a big Star Wars and Lego fan!

Finally finished making these slide down pencil cases using the pattern and tutorial by the talented Emma of . I adapted her bunny and cat into a dog, wolf and leopard.
Go check her YouTube channel for lots of different sewing tutorials 😊

The cutest little pup, Bonnie 😊
This was a commission for a birthday present to someone who adores their dog.
The photo wasn't the clearest so I did my best to capture her big puppy dog eyes and I'm pleased to hear the owner loves it 😊

I can finally share my finished painting of the gorgeous Jack Russell, Rolo 🥰. He's just fathered 5, very cute puppies!
I hope you like it as much as I do 😊

Sneeky peak of my latest dog portrait of the gorgeous jack russell Rolo.
He's being wrapped up for posting so will share it once he's been received. I have to say I'm really pleased how he's turned out 😊

New portrait on the go of Rolo, he's a long haired Jack Russell.
I'm going to try and make a little video of my progress and painting style, feeling like I need to get with the times!!

This is Frasier, isn't he gorgeous?!!!
Painted on 350gsm A4 watercolour paper.
Feel free to message for enquiries/commissions.

A Happy 2nd Birthday to Daya, a truck/tractor/train loving boy! 🎂🥳🎁🎈🤗🚜🚂🚛

Fidget toys are so popular at the moment so I thought I'd have a go at making some using some fat quarters and marbles I had at home. My girls love them and have already asked if I can make some for their friends.

I've been a little quiet on this page recently as I'm polishing up my facepainting and henna skills (see my other page) so I can get back to decorating people at parties/events/fayres again.
I painted these cards recently for a 40th and new baby. Please email for any commission enquiries for bespoke handpainted cards, pet portraits or anything else you might want drawn/designed/painted 😀 😉

This is the gorgeous Nellie, my second paint of a Bassett hound who lives with Maggie (my first).
I've added similar spots of colour so they will look good as a pair hanging on their owners wall together ❤ 😁🎨🖌🐶🖼
Please DM for enquiries

This is the adorable Tay, it was a pleasure painting this cute little face 😍 🐶
I'm having a break over Easter to see my dad😊 but will be finishing off another Bassett hound next week.
If you would like a painting commissioned please get in touch, thanks 😁

I can finally share my finished portrait of the gorgeous Shar Pei, Bao 🥰🐶. Her wrinkles were definitely a challenge but I'm happy with the end result and so is her owner 😊. Just need to speed up a bit!

Sneak peak of a dog portrait I've been working on 😊🎨, not quite finished yet!

Having a play around with dots on an mdf butterfly I bought in a charity shop a couple of years ago 🦋

A funky little pot I decorated for my pop's birthday 🥳 filled with one of my aloe vera babies which I have about 30 of atm 🤗

Finally finished my latest portrait, the gorgeous Ozzy 🥰. I'm really pleased how it came out after only managing to paint little bits here and there. That's the way it's got to be until I can pack the kids off to school 😬

Hmmmm, definitely need lots of practice in what elements to add and where 🤔

So happy I found time to start on 😊🤎

And this is the final painting of the beautiful old Bassett hound Maggie 🤎🥰🐕.

Thought I'd share some progress shots.
It's been such a stressful week of home schooling and not helped by the realisation that it's going to continue until March at the earliest 😩. I'm thankful I have my art to escape to 😊.

I'm quite new to the whole layout of a greetings card so ended up painting a couple to see which works best.
The one with 2 strawberries is available to buy, please contact me for details or if you have a special request and would like to support a small business (rather than Moonpig!)
