Seems a while since I've blogged but had a busy month including a lovely and inspiring family holiday to Robin Hood's Bay but managed to paint several new ones
Also finally sorted new studio out. I'd collected all sorts of stuff over the 11 years of having retail premises but can finally see the floor and am now getting so much more done. I do miss catching up with customers but my old premises at Holloway will be opening as a Cafe this Summer so be good to meet up there for coffee and catch up
I enjoyed the recent sunny spell and managed to paint outside which was fab.
Bruno loves the new studio and lives the life of riley!
Thought I'd share some new paintings which are not even on the website yet (another job on my "to do" list) and will be also be available as a giclee limited edition fine art print

Over the years I have painted a variety of property types in watercolours and oils from cute tiny terraces, barn conversions to the grand old residence in it's own grounds.
this was for a special lady's 70th birthday from her family
I've also now got a new website purely for my illustration work
I'm still working to commission (can't show you latest as surprises)
Also busy time of year for Purple and Grey (I'm Purple)
and meeting lots of new artists at our Derbyshire Art Group
- we meet regularly at Tansley Village Hall, at other galleries and venues
and have two"on the road in Stan" en plein air trips
and many demos and workshops coming up too
I'm also getting ready for this event as part of Derbyshire Open Arts
as I have been invited to join MEDLEY group of artists and makers
think I've bombarded you with enough blurb so I'll sign off
and wish you a Happy Easter and Bank Holiday weekend
Love Karina x
and Bruno 🐶
