For this drawing I used pen, ink and paint.

Drawing developed into a collage painting.

Painted, stitched and embroidered bird 150x150mm

This is my latest bird embroidery. I have been working on this piece while on holiday in Ayrshire, Scotland. We spend a lot of time here where my husband grew up. Even though February on the west coast is extremely cold, a walk along the beach looking towards Arran is a daily activity. Our Cocker Spaniel, Jess, loves it, although we do struggle to keep her out of the sea.
