'Tea Under the Willow Tree'

A sweet illustration in watercolour which I have just completed. I was inspired to create this piece by observing the beautiful wildlife at my local park which I visit regularly. All the animals have their own cute and quirky personalities!

Pumpkin and Butternut

These two sweet cats are called Pumpkin and Butternut. I was recently commissioned by their owner to capture them together on a canvas. I decided to make them both 'Caticorns'! I have used applique, embroidery, paint, pencil crayon and embellishments.
