I love cupcakes, owls and matryoshkas as much as the next person, but there’s an awful lot of it about lately. So I started thinking, what do I ALSO love but just don’t see so often?
The baskets are doing my head in and I simply don’t know how else to portray them. I think maybe they’re too big.
I feel I may have overstepped the line between mixed media and A Bit Twee with the ‘real string’ ropes also.
(They may have to go – thoughts?) But it’s definitely CONNECTED to the image in my head, which is more than can be said for a lot of other things I produce.
I hope when this painting inspires a new trend in motifery that people will call them thermal airships.
Thanks for the chat guys, I think I know what’s wrong with the baskets now.
I really like the real string ropes, but now I'm worried that I'm twee. And yes, enough of cupcakes, owls and all the usual cute things.
Wow! The last two pictures you blogged about are absolutely amazing!
If I were your sister receiving the painting of Maisie I would cry – a lot – in a really good way. What a touching and beautiful memorial.
And I too love the real string ropes. Twee or not. Another picture that I urge you to put into a gallery and sell, girl!

Love the picture and I agree with Serena – get selling! I think the rope totally works too x
