Latest addition to the Web site

Spring is technically here so it’s a perfect time to introduce this piece. A Magical Hare, poised to disappear into the long grass. Watercolour on Baohung paper 300gsm. Available framed or unframed.

I adore their enormous back legs that drive them across a field in a blink, ears flattened, breaking the sound barrier, zig zagging and never losing traction.

In folklore they are tricksters and associated with fertility. Humans have been fascinated by them since whoenever we first met! They are Irelands national animal (The Irish Hare not the Mountain Hare) and they’ve also turned up in Medieval illuminated texts.

Hope you love him too.

It's cold and rainy..

It’s cold and rainy here. Well, it’s February, what should we expect? Even Kuro decided he didn’t have the energy to pace about on the roof of my Studio. Instead, he settled down on my spinning chair and decided to just watch the rain get flung across the window by a peevish easterly wind. Then he had a lovely nap.

My life is fascinating !!!

My hopes for the year ahead

It’s half way through January…

so, perhaps Happy New Year is redundant but, hopefully you are all ready and recharged for the year ahead.

My thanks to all the people who have come by to take at look at my work. Life as an artist is very quiet, mostly. For myself, it’s the most productive way to work. But, it also means I don’t get reactions to what I’m doing. Through the magic of the Internet, I can see the visits to my website and where in the world people are visiting from. That always surprises me. The world is so vast and yet someone on the other side of the planet as seen my work! The kids would probably laugh at me but, back here in the Industrial Revolution, these things still surprise me.

I’ve put a photo of Kuro, The Cat. He is my daily companion and muse. I’m going to see if I can make a vlog post about him so the world can see what a Superstar he is, which is only fair 🐈‍⬛😊

Leave a comment or if you have any questions, do let me know.

Warmest wishes

Liza & Kuro
