Mother Brown Bear and Cubs, Watercolour Painting

This is my very old watercolour painting of a mother brown bear and her cubs. I thought it could be painted about 16 years ago! I am making it available as lovely Art Print as well as Greeting Card (available as 1 card, set of 5 cards and set of 10 cards).

Lakeside Harmony, Lake Como, Italy

 

A sunlit lakeside village comes to life in this richly detailed watercolour painting of Lake Como, Italy. Terracotta-roofed houses rise in warm, ochre tones, tucked closely together among blooming gardens and leafy trees. The scene feels timeless—stone steps lead down to the lake’s edge, where still waters mirror the soft afternoon light. Vines spill gently over balconies, and quiet corners suggest lives lived slowly, with the rhythm of nature.

The lake itself is rendered in transparent layers of blue and jade, capturing the shifting light and the gentle movement of water. In the background, green mountains rise in soft gradients, their silhouettes fading into distant ridges of cooler blue. The sky above is clear and expansive, with subtle clouds drifting along the upper edge of the frame, balancing the composition with airy softness.

This painting invites the viewer into a moment of calm—where the beauty of architecture, landscape, and light are held in perfect balance. It captures the quiet luxury of lakeside living and the poetry of a place where water, land, and sky seem to speak to one another in colour.

Letters from Toby the Squirrel

 

I’m delighted to share that my Letters from Toby the Squirrel are now available as a special edition of 50 art prints. Each letter is paired with illustrations, capturing the warmth and charm of Toby’s little adventures with his friends.

These letters began as simple stories written from the perspective of Toby, a thoughtful squirrel who writes to his friend Charlie - a badger. In each letter, he shares the small wonders of life—whether it’s meeting a gentle mother hen, celebrating his birthday with fireflies, or simply enjoying the company of his woodland friends.

Every print in this collection is produced with care, numbered, comes with certificate of authenticity and part of a limited edition of 50. They are perfect for anyone who loves animals, storybook illustrations, or meaningful art that carries a sense of imagination and friendship.

I hope these letters bring joy to your home, just as they have brought joy to me while creating them. Visit the Shop.

 

Woodland Sleeping Fox - Watercolour Painting

Nestled within the curve of an old fallen tree, a red fox sleeps soundly—wrapped in the comfort of the forest’s quiet embrace. This watercolour painting captures a peaceful moment of stillness in the wild, where soft light plays gently across the fox’s thick golden fur, and the surrounding bark and moss create a protective cradle. Every stroke reflects the texture of fur, and wood, evoking the earthy richness of the forest. The fox’s closed eyes and relaxed form convey a deep sense of trust and rest—a rare, intimate glimpse into a hidden world where wild creatures find peace. Rendered in rich, natural tones, this piece invites the viewer to slow down and appreciate the beauty of stillness in nature.

 

 

Under Her Protection – Baby Elephant - Watercolour Painting

 

 

Nestled among towering legs, a young elephant calf peeks out with a tender curiosity, its trunk gently curled in a moment of quiet play. Painted in soft washes of grey and blue, this watercolour painting captures the delicate innocence of new life under the protective presence of its herd. The intricate textures of wrinkled skin and the warm earth tones beneath their feet evoke a sense of both strength and serenity. A tribute to family, protection, and the silent bond between generations in the wild.
