Festive Greetings !
Thank you all for your lovely messages and orders!
I’ll be packing up the last orders today to post out first class tomorrow, then I’ll be having a little break until the New Year to catch up with myself and my wonderful family 🙂
My very favourite thing to do this time of year is to light my lovely Angel Chimes and sit, watch and listen to the delicate ting-ting-ting of the bells…
Wishing you a very
Merry and Bright
Christmas-time

Peaceful and Cosy
New Year

Architectural Heritage
I cleared the last of these architecture books, featured in my recent Shelf Portrait painting ‘Architectural Heritage’, off my father’s bookshelves while I was in London last week…
I spent the day thinking about my architectural heritage: the abundance of grand Victorian gothic revival buildings around the country, designed by my great-great-grandfather, Alfred Waterhouse.
My favourite must, of course, be the ‘cathedral to nature’ that is The Natural History Museum in South Kensington: I especially love all the little (and not so little) animal relief carvings all around the inside and outside of the building.
|
From London I went to Oxford, where I spent a lovely sunny day wandering around with my nephew, who is studying Architecture, seeking out AW buildings. This is a view of the Brackenbury Buildings at Balliol College.
 When he wasn’t busy being an eminent Victorian architect, Alfred liked to travel and paint with watercolours.
Here’s one he did in Bressago, Switzerland in 1882.

Classic Penguin inspiration in Hay on Wye
A trip to Hay-on-Wye last week, with it’s plethora of wonderful bookshops full of loved and tattered books, inspired me to start on a new Vintage Orange Penguins painting.
I love the early stages of a Shelf Portrait, where my brush feels free and more expressive. Sometimes I am tempted to leave them as they are….. But I tend to be even more tempted by the finer details!
Whilst in Hay-on-Wye I delivered a series of framed Limited Edition prints to Guy and Ellie at the lovely Bluestone Gallery . If you are in Hay, I recommend taking a look at their great selection of artists and makers, including my good friend and talented metalsmith Kate Rhodes Jewellery 🙂
There are now just a few of these Jane Austen Tote bags left in my shop – catch ’em while you can!
Best Wishes,
Roo
