Dutch Treat

 I love black parrot tulips so much that I grew some of my own just so I could paint them. This background isn't William Morris, but is an anonymous fabric swatch I've had forever and have been too precious to use in actual sewing. So I thought I'd paint that, too! The little Dutch windmill vase I found at a charity shop and it felt like a perfect pairing.

Decoration

 More sweet cherry blossoms -- this time against a blue William Morris background. I'm fascinated by his story, he studied at Oxford and was quite the polymath: in addition to designing wallpaper and fabric, he was a social activist, a poet, and an aspiring architect. He insisted that art and well-designed interiors were not luxuries, which of course I appreciate.

One and the Same

I am playing around with flowers on patterned backgrounds, challenging myself to make a distinction between the real flower and the flower pattern while keeping both soft and impressionistic. 

These are cherry blossoms against a William Morris pattern, because his colours are absolute perfection:

Painting the Face, April 2025

 

Lucy Stopford and I are teaching another weekend portrait-painting workshop! 

A full weekend of portraiture is intensive and challenging, but our approach is suitable for painters at all levels of experience -- we cover technical (and philosophical!) foundations of painting as well as the importance of pushing boundaries and expressive mark-making. It's exhilarating, and I get something new out of it each time.

April 5th & 6th
