And just like that … it’s Advent!

How the year flies by! As you know I’ve been busy with our new book, writing for it and doing the paintings to illustrate each chapter. Sales are going well, thank you if you’ve bought a copy. Here’s the link if you haven’t seen it yet. Or if you are in or nearer to America, on Amazon.com

So, suddenly, it’s Christmas just around the corner and I’ve done some new Christmas card designs, of course! (B41-51)

Even though I’ve been so busy, I have also designed a colouring book in the style of the Bayeux Tapestry telling the story of the life of Jesus. You can see it here. It would make a lovely gift for anyone who loves to colour. It’s really aimed at adults, but an older child might enjoy it too. It’s printed on good quality cartridge paper which makes colouring a pleasure, with a ring-bound spine which means it sits flat while you work. Each image is printed on one side only so you can frame them, make notes, or use them for other projects if you wish.

I hope you have a lovely Christmas

About that book …

You may remember that I mentioned I was working on a big project? Well I am delighted to say that the book I’ve been working on, with my husband, Selwyn Veater, who is a poet, and our good friend the Rev Dr Martha Toney, is now published!

Cover

It’s called “Sacred Presence” and is a book of 31 reflections or devotions reflecting the Holy Spirit in the life and work of Jesus. You can buy it through Amazon UK https://amzn.eu/d/hPZzgoX or for people in or nearer to America Amazon.com https://a.co/d/au0F8FC

I have also done the illustrations for it and they are now available on my website as either mounted or unmounted prints.

I hope you like the prints and, of course, the book! So now back to Christmas – check the website for my new designs … I’ll post about them separately.

Springing a surprise

Individual shops and cottages in Brighton & Hove

You may be wondering why it’s been so quiet and I haven’t written anything here for a while? Well, I haven’t been idle; I’ve produced a couple more card designs which I’ve added to the Brighton & Hove range; £2 each or any 3 cards from the range for £5 with code BH345 at checkout. One design Funky Brighton 1 is now on my front page, the other, Funky Brighton 2, is illustrated here, do check them out. I hope you like them, they were fun to do!

I’ve also been working on an exciting new project, in fact I still am! I can’t tell you much about it yet, but when it’s finished – probably late summer, you will see it here as I’ll add it to my website. It’s something very important to me which I value personally and I hope you’ll love it too.

In the meantime have a wonderful summer!
