Turn Back the Clocks, egg tempera on panel, frame by Patrick 23 x 15.5 cm, August 2026

Looking at drawings, I felt homesick for a place. The objects are symbols and deepen my memories. The little bird with the clock represents that flicker of desire to turn back that clock.

This will go in a standing frame that Patrick is making in his new workshop!
#stilllife #painting #birds #purple #goat #art #altar
An altar piece for this Capricorn. A bouquet of almost white,lavender and pink flowers from the garden and field. Four green plums from a tree we planted the year the studio was built. Two lovebirds, fabric and paper to make a parquet floor of design, thinking of Diebenkorn. A scarf I bought in India with my mother.

Lemonade in Shangri-La, egg tempera on panel, 30 x 27 cm, July 2026 it is so dry that dahlias and zinnias are stop signs in the garden. Just give in. Drink your lemonade, eat your strawberries and fill your birdbaths. #doodledog #pink #eggtempera #painting #fruit #art #flowers
Painting in pink, red green, lavender and yellow of strawberries, flowers from the garden, a doodle dog a tin, a cup. Full of pattern and colour meant to suggest Shanghai-La. A response to a 28 day stretch of high heat and no rain. My arms ache from carrying beckets of water!

Alchemilla was believed to hold magical properties — water caught in its cups used for alchemy and I found more poodles to paint! #poodles #dogs #ceramicpet #painting #stilllife #bouquet #bird #greenfinch
Blue and green painting of two poodles, flowers a framed greenfinch, a green teacup and a mandarin orange. Joyful and funny. Lots of pattern.

Tea Garden, egg tempera on panel, 23x31cm, May 2026

A contemplative piece to take your mind off everything happening in the world!
#stilllife #eggtempera #greenpainting #fineart #painting #armchairtraveller
Tabletop garden of greens with an Asian feel. There is a whippet, a pheasant, a Japanese woman, maybe Guanyin, 2 limes, 2 pinecones, an anemone, an allium, a sprig of purple sage and an iris. There are 3 green books stacked up with the top book ‘ more about Rebecca’ there is a cat photo, given to me by Herman Kamphuis, a beloved mail artist who died earlier this year, a piece of Chinese embroidery, framed in a bamboo frame. A teacup sits on one of the two scarves. It has stripes, polka dots and, a hand that is glove insert and some bamboo and Japanese print.

Beauty Pageant, egg tempera on panel, 24.5 x 30 cm, May 2026

Each of the objects has competed for my attention as I painted. It was a beauty contest that finished as a beauty pageant.

#painting #stilllife#dragon #orange #red#pink #beautypageant #eggtempera #contemporaryart #joyful
It’s of colour tension in this painting. Orange, reddish brown, coral red, bottom half pink, white, lavender fish is and dark red. The vase, red glass (that is the strongest black in the painting) is right and and 1/4 way down from centre. Gentle pattern of flowers contrasted with animal print. Very white anemone right of centre. There are two oranges, a bluebell, a calendula and a tulip that I grew! There is a pink fan, an Indonesian doll, a dog… not sure if it’s Shih zhu or a Llasa apso. The dragon is on some orange/red books.
