I spent a very restless night last night.Up at 1am and still awake at 5am…with art on my mind.

Over the last few weeks I have been very unsettled and looking to create some art that is really rich and intertwined with the mysteries of nature.

I wanted a cozy and homely feel where nature rules (as she does despite our best efforts to impede her) and where humans and animals live in an idyllic harmony. I wanted hedgerows and animals and maybe the slightest suggestion of a human hand (eg a cottage roof or windmill – lighthouse etc) in there.

Well after much searching in my mind and pouring through my images and internet ones I feel I have something crystalising – I am so excited!!!

It will be me finding my self on paper. I am a real nester and value security of a home (don’t we all) and so I am looking forward to developing these…

My first one will feature a hare – alliums, undergrowth, fields and moonlit sky….

Do you enjoy natural motifs and if so can you tell me about them?
