When Full Moon comes around the oceans rise up to their highest, we too
feel the pull on our senses and emotions, a feeling that I often channel into my paintings. I'm not surprised to notice that these Full Moon miniatures usually surface.. at Full Moon!

Metamorphosis



Fifteen amazing little living examples of constant change are living out the start of their lives on my Studio desk! I rescued these Peron's Tree Frog tadpoles from a small pool of water in a friend's garden about 2 months ago. The days were still very warm, and not long after I set the taddies up in two aquariums at home, the pool was a green warm soup with no sign of life other than algae. So watching them change and grow legs is so rewarding, knowing that there will be a few more precious frogs on the Earth because I helped them!

Capturing a Moment..


I often begin a miniature whimsical painting with just a feeling. Connectedness to all 'things' is the undertow that powers my art so here it is again. Then I open my heart for a subject, and here is little Bonnie again, this time suddenly cavorting with dragonflies at the temple of the rare and wonderful Night Waratah on the Island of Pink and Gold Hearts! Makes sense? Not to a hard~nosed realist perhaps, ("How did Bonnie sail the boat? No motor, no sails".. "she has no hands anyway," and "she's 'just a dog'" "Waratahs grow in East Coast Australian scrubby Bushland not alone on an Island!!") .. but to the artistic heart, the image and the feeling floats gently from me to you across the ethers, before hopefully finding a welcome 'soft place to fall'.

Little Jess wants to show everyone out there her new pyjamas! She has a dear friend in cold Sweden, Robbie, a Phalene (that's a Papillon like her but his ears are not QUITE so upstanding!)
who sent her a wonderful pressie in the post, two beautiful bedtime jammies! She was so proud of them she asked Jenny to paint a picture of her wearing the purple pair!
