Let your dreams blossom (A)

I take photos of the plants in my back yard. I have 3 dwarf fruit trees that blossom. I like seeing the changes each season brings, showing the chance for renewal and new beginnings. Blossoms are one of my favourite flowers to paint.

Painting the razzle dazzle and shimmer of light on every petal.

I am a receptionist by day and an artist by night.

I love flowers. I paint their voluptuous folds of petals, their rich muted colours and the razzle dazzle and shimmer of light dancing across their surface.
Trying to capture the ecstasy of emotion in a single flower, and share it with others, is my driving force.

I was a professional potter for 35 years. I got serious about painting 10 years ago.
