Hi guys, hope your all having a great summer so far. It's so hot here in the UK at the moment. Summer as definitely arrived. 🌞
I sketched this piece of a common blue butterfly 🦋 back in May whilst I was on holiday from work. First time ever sketching outside. It felt so good to sketch in nature and it's something I've wanted to do for ages. So pleased I finally got the courage to do it.
Finally finished the last layers today. Whilst sitting with the fan on in the house. Until next time keep creating 😊 🍄

Hi guys, I have something to share with you all. I've finally entered another art competition after having imposter syndrome for well forever. Still do lol 😂 just like most artists. 🎨
But I suppose if you don't believe in your art then no one else will. Thankyou to my son for helping me submit these. Well I'm no tech whizz am I lol 🤣. These are available to buy on Wraptious at the moment. Good luck to everyone who as entered. 🤞🍀

Hi guys, I hope your all doing well. Not my usual art post. Just wanted to let you all know that I'm now also on Cara.
For me I'm not moving from Instagram. As even though my art account is small I have gained a great art community here. Many of you have become great artist friends and those that I value their opinion on. I'm just wanting to try Cara to.
I'm a traditional artist 🎨 everything you see me post is originally sketched, painted by me. Blood, sweet, tears 😭 and some times frustration have gone into my creations. Nothing is AI. I will always be a traditional artist.

Hi guys, hope your all doing well. I've not posted any art for a while. As I've been working on creating this piece entitled ' Scruffy the Robin'.
Back in January @raspberrythief asked everyone in a post what bird was the first one they saw on new year's day. The first one I saw was a robin in our garden being windy swept by a gale. This inspired me to create this piece.
It as taken me well over 30 hours to complete and I have used numerous layers of mixed media to create it. I hope it makes you all smile, as it as given me so much joy to create. 🎨
Thankyou to all my followers who have stuck around and followed my art journey so far and for all the insta artists who have become great friends ( you know who you are) you inspire me everyday to push past the negativity I sometimes feel in my art, the art block and the imposter syndrome all us artists get. To my other half @orkynut thanks for always telling me to never give up and to my son @skullydraws thankyou son for always believing in me ❤️ Until next time keep creating 😊🍄

Hi guys, it's that time of year again #artvsartist#artvsartist2023
Well I've had quite a productive 2023. I've entered art competitions. Tried to challenge myself on experimenting with using different mediums. Created more art than 2022. Started to see how my art looks on different products.
Will 2024 make me brave enough to enter the world of commissions and doing artisan markets. Who knows🤔
All I know at the moment is thankyou to all my followers for sticking around and following me through my on going art journey 🎨🖌️🍄😊
