Inspiration overload number two.
👌🏼🙌🏽🙏🏽
This time it’s the architecture, the colour and the absolutely joyous nature of Indian culture that’s pouring out of every inch of Pushkar town.
Plus I got to follow a Great Egret around the lake for a while .

Inspiration Overload 🙌🏽🐒🙏🏽🇮🇳👌🏼❤️
I thought I’d seen many things during my numerous visits to India, but the two days I’ve spent exploring the Keoladeo National Park have been absolutely off the chart.
Each year thousands of Painted Storks migrate from Southern India to Bharatapur to breed and raise their chicks, along with hundreds of other bird species plus some resident cows and monkeys.
I felt like I’d left this world planet as we know it and entered a Jurassic realm.

The atmosphere was thick with the chattering and squalking of nature doing exactly what it’s designed to do and it was a joy to be just a complete observer.
India , I love you.
Main Bharat se pyaar karti hu

Back in my favourite painting spot in Wales after a much needed few days to catch my breath.
Creating a few more treasures for the next couple of events coming up.
The Spirit of Christmas and Manchester Art Fair.

Wow 💥
The 25th Anniversary of the Affordable Art Fair definitely delivered on so many levels.
Feather and Shore collectively sold 71 pieces of art, spoke to hundreds of people, forged relationships with dozens of new collectors and exhibitors, drank copious amounts of coffee and many glasses of gin and tonics..
On a personal level, the months I put into creating new pieces of art (mostly inspired by my travels, music and love of the Indian colour palette) paid off when I see people engage with my paintings on these grand walls that I created my studio in Walthamstow.
Thank you so much to everyone that purchased our work. I never take a sale for granted.
Huge gratitude to for enabling what I love doing so much. This platform not only validates my creativity but allows me to survive financially as an artist.
And thank you .reynolds.art for being the best right hand woman I could ask for.

Juveniles..
130x150cm
Ink, powder pigment and acrylic on canvas.
This piece combines the memories of two experiences…
Firstly there’s this same spot I keep returning to that will forever be with me…
I was taken on a private safari at dusk with the amazing man that is to see the wader birds at the Banni Grasslands nature reserve in Kutch, northern Gujarat.
The air shrieked with the sounds of the Cranes coming to the rest by the lake after a day of grazing on the land.
When they had all come in to land there was total stillness and silence.
With the arrival of three silence we were able to focus on the juvenile birds in the lake which were surrounded by thick pink light. It was truly magical.
My second memory of juvenile flamingoes was from my recent visit to the Ria Formosa National park in Portugal.
The shallow waters were full of young flamingos feeding on fish.. This was where I was able to take the photos that informed this piece.
Thank you for reading to here if you got this far 🙏🏽💓🤲🏼
This painting will be coming with me to Battersea.
16-20 October
Hoping to see some of you there.

Distant Memories
130x150cm
I really went all out on the colour in this one. Usually I just lay down one wet layer but this time there was a build up over several days.
It has a depth and richness to it that takes me back to that stunning Indian twilight hour when nature seems to takes a slow deep breath.
This painting will coming with me to in a couple of weeks along with several other exciting new works by both myself and the other artists with out gallery

It’s been a while since I painted a Lotus but yesterday as we hit the Autumn equinox it felt like a very poignant time to return to them.
The Lotus (Waterlily) 🪷 or Kamal in Hindi has always been a symbol of spirituality.
In Buddhism and Hinduism, water lilies are of particular importance. Waterlilies are symbolic of rebirth because the flowers close at night and come back in the morning. The waterlily is also seen as a sign of enlightenment by Buddhists because the flowers are rising out of the mud.
Since they return to the murky water flowers also symbols of strength, resilience, and rebirth…
These 2 small paintings are both in gold vintage frames and are the first of a few more to come.
They will be available to purchase Battersea next month where I’ll be exhibiting with .

What’s it going to be??
This is how many of my paintings begin. I enjoy throwing colour down and building up the layers.
Always trying new and varied techniques
I rewrite the formulas almost every time I work.
