Hidden in the mountains of Serra Do Açor

 

 The stone piece decides the paintings... This is one of many Owls i have had the pleasure of painting... It stands roughly 2 feet tall, and 2 feet in the longest part of length..   It is for sale, although most of my art hasn't got time to stick around and collect dust before it gets sold. This Peacock has been painted on 1.5 feet by 2 feet slate stone... This peacock has already been sold, a day after it was created.. All my paintings on stone have been applied using Gouache watercolour paints. I hope you enjoy the many more I have waiting within my paint brushes.. Watch this space to see what will be next.. Thank you

 The North wind has been blowing in, leaving us to cope with the cold without warning.  We had a storm on Thursday night leading into Friday all day, which i have been becoming more and more fond of. I used to have severe anxiety attacks during the long nights of storms, I would stay up sitting in my sewing chair all night, by my children bedrooms, hoping the roof wouldn't fall in. We have had a few good storms since then, and each time they are becoming less scary. The farm has been put into winter mode, and I have planted many turnip seeds and sweetheart cabbage seeds. We have still yet to unload the goat barn of lovely gold manure. My art has been doing well, and I have sold a few paintings.  A friend who helped me get noticed in Lisbon in an art shop, has loved my idea of painting birds on flat slate. The other day I painted an owl, and I'm currently finishing a big stone with a peacock on.  It seems the peacock's are very desirable. With the current state of the world
