Some mockups of what this one might look like.

It nearly sent me round the twist but I got there.

This one has safely arrived in her new home with a very happy owner.

YAYOI’S JOY.

Finally finished this piece after hours and hours of layers. And honestly, I adore them. I’ve never wanted something not to sell more.

Acrylics. Each panel measures 5” x 16” - canvas on wooden block. Painted as a pair but each panel signed so can separate.

More honest advertising…

If advertising was honest … 😬

Probably my least favourite part of the canvas painting process is edging. It’s time consuming, fiddly and messy. But the algorithm demands process videos and we must feed the monster.

Something I’ve been asked about, especially in the lead up to Christmas (I know, sorry my bad) is gift vouchers. So these are now available at www.carolmapleyart.com

I couldn’t stop the itch to add neon pink to the last painting. So I did another in a similar palette and scratched that itch. This one is called Glitch and I actually love her.

The urge to pop some neon pink and gold in this one was so strong. But I like the tranquility of her as she is.

Some process on this one today squashed into 30 seconds. If only it happened that quickly. I’m loving this colour palette.

Last one for a while because my soul needs to get off the laptop and get back to painting. But I had a few requests to make art wearable and I’m nothing if not stupidly obliging 😬

You asked, I listened!
Individual cards are now in my store!

Birthday? Good luck? A card for someone who has everything? A slightly passive-aggressive “thinking of you” card? I’ve got you. Basically… you’re now in charge of the card chaos. Choose wisely. 😌😂 🎨🖤

Today’s tiny scenes. Timeline cleanse and a visual hug for those who need it 🖤

The past few weeks have nearly broken me trying to get this new phase over the line. But I made it!

My “normal” job out of office is on. A wee reminder that prints are still available from my site while I’m away but originals bought in the next week won’t ship until 14/7. Shares and sales very much appreciated 🫶🏻
