Framing Miniatures and my 2016 Kingfisher Series


2016 Kingfisher series

Have you ever seen a Kingfisher? I've only seen one once, so when I was recently commissioned to paint one I turned to the artist meets photographers facebook page 'Photos for Artists' to find a decent reference photo. I was not disappointed - the talented Peter Skillen had several to choose from. And therein my Kingfisher series was born. How could I choose from all those fabulous photos?

Happy New Year 2016

A Happy New Year to all my friends and followers, I wish you lots of love, laughter and of course many hours of creativity splashing that paint around.

This is the January 2016 issue of the Dolls House and Miniature Scene magazine and what do you know - my very own tutorial showing readers how to recreate Norbert Goeneutte’s The Boulevard de Clichy under Snow, 1876, is the main feature on the front cover!




Of course those who follow me on facebook  will be well aware of this but I'm sure you'll all forgive me, I'm just too thrilled to be right there as the feature piece!

I don't really do New Year's resolutions (and it's too late anyway now), but this year I intend to blog more regularly. I hope to be able to bring you some miniature tutorials, some general chit chat and of course my new diary, which will hopefully be even better than last years. I'll get some photos taken of the last couple of weeks of my 2016 diary and then put together a new blog post for you here.

What are your New Year intentions? Did you make any resolutions and have you stuck to them?! Let me know in the comments section below.

I'm on the front cover!
