Daisies singing in the rain

'Daisies singing in the rain'

W&N watercolour on Bockingford 300gsm.

Soft and gentle as a fresh spring rain - these daisies would clear the clouds in anyone's day!

Wildlings

 

Mixed media Collage — W&N watercolour, newspaper cutting, ink sketch and acrylic on Amedeo 200gsm 

Wildflowers don’t worry about how they’re going to bloom. They just open up and turn toward the light and that makes them beautiful. 

—Jim Carrey

Evening Primrose

Mixed media of W&N watercolour and candle wax on Bockingford 300gsm

I wanna be

the mild fragrance

of an evening primrose

gentle and sweet

beneath your sheet

cluster of petals

which bloom

white blossoms

to wither softly

into your sleep

In the Bulrushes

 

Black ink sketch and watercolour wash on a back-ground done with coffee on Bockingford 300gsm

The sun begins its red plunge down the sky.

Deep in the earth a locust’s eyes snap open.

Frogs resume their trill

And punctual to the minute

down the path,

tottering on jeweled sandals, comes

the beautiful lonely princess

— Extract from “In the Bulrushes” by Katha Pollitt
