Hello there!It's already February! I enjoyed warming up with several small paintings in January... they will be available soon (first to those who requested early access to originals!) February is my favourite month... my wedding anniversary is in February, my eldest daughter was born in February, and every four years we get a weird extra day! It's just got a fun vibe. This month, I'm going BIG. I have a couple very large paintings that I would like to start altering... and one in particular gives me "all the feelings." Can't wait to share it with you... as always I'll post previews and the raw work in progress on social media. --heather |

“They’re called Thestrals. They're quite gentle, really, but people avoid them, because they're a bit... Different.” – Luna & HarryI collected this vintage piece in Australia while at my brother's wedding... it came all the way back in my luggage, and has been waiting patiently for me to start altering it! I am enjoying transforming these very proud looking horses into thestrals... this style of painting is very static and "serious," so I'm enjoying painting the thestrals in that same sort of posed style. Keep an eye on my Instagram stories for sneak peeks of the work in progress! (Feb 2025) Original, prints & digitals available early March. |

I have this old children's book about ponies, with lovely little black and white illustrations... and I'm enjoying transforming them into thestrals as little studies while I'm working on the larger altered piece. There are about 20 illustrations in this book, I'll be snipping these out and they'll be available unframed / framed... little affordable original altered paintings. I'm considering doing a digital bundle of the best ones. (Feb 2025) Original & digitals available early March. |

If you've seen my Instagram stories, you'll know that I asked if you could guess what I'm going to paint into this beach scene... and only three people got it! I'm going to keep it a secret a little longer till I start to paint it. Hint : This movie has Christopher Lee in it. (Feb 2025) Original, prints & digitals available early March. |

"Until 2048"This was a special request... I loved hearing about the petition to keep the CITGO sign up in Boston long after the company changed locations. They agreed to keep the sign up over the city until 2048. The idea that it would still be standing in the far future when global warming has turned the planet into a water world was a fun one to explore. (Sep 2024) -- As you can see I painted this several months ago and is happily in its new home... but it's still here to remind myself to share the reel! Digital Downloads are now available for this piece. |
