On my desk...
 |
Hello there!You've found where I share sneak peeks at what's on my desk! My plan for March was to paint the large mystery ocean painting I had hoped to start in February, and then to paint some dragons, my Princess Bride and Monty Python ideas, followed by ents, Cornish pixies, LEGO pirate ship. But I didn't do any of that! March break and family life has kept me busy, so with the limited time I had to paint, instead of my grand plans I snuck in a couple challenging small pieces, a few surprise botanicals. The ideas I didn't get to will keep... I have booked them in for May! As always I'll share sneak peeks and the raw work in progress on social media. --heather These originals (and prints & digitals) will be available soon (first dibs go to those who requested early access to originals!) |

Inspired by "Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot and Prongs." The day after my failed-filming of my portrait of Sirius, I decided to get back on the bicycle and paint the transformation of James into a stag. I glued the print to a larger surface so I could paint the antlers "growing" out of the frame. I was very careful to make sure the record button was going this time... and the animated time-lapse looks so good if I do say so myself! Keep an eye on my Instagram stories, I'll be sharing the reel for this one soon! (March 2025) Original, prints & digitals available late April. |

Inspired by "Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot and Prongs." I had set aside a portrait to transform from Sirius into the great black dog. I painted every stage of the transformation and recorded it, intending to speed it up and put together into an animation much like my "Common Garden Rat" and "Professor?" paintings. I was very careful to capture a gentle expression of the dog as I painted, as Sirius said boasted he was actually a very good natured dog, and that his best friend James had suggested on more than one occasion to make the change permanent! All was going well, I kept checking the recording as I went along. When I finished, I hit stop... and noticed the video wasn't there. I hadn't recorded it properly! So heartbreaking. I was very mopey for the rest of the day! But I was surrounded by love and encouragement... and finished up painting the hairy dog. I'll be sharing the reel of this on Instagram soon! (March 2025) Original, prints & digitals available late April. |

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... when eight people had guessed it correctly, I revealed I'm painting a scene from The Last Unicorn. (April 2025) Original, prints & digitals available early April. |
