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. #art #stillife #painting

Colourful still life in bespoke frame inspired by Siena at the National Gallery 2025. It is an altar to time, memories, the past and a very special place, Cranberry island. It is based on a set up still life of a bird, an artichoke, Tithonia,some grapes and a night scene of Maine. Colours: magenta, bright orangey red, turquoise and blues.

Love birds, egg tempera on panel, 15x22cm (I think) — am on a train heading to a PV— July 2026 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!

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.

… where ‘ everyone’s in love and flowers pick themselves’ – egg tempera on panel, 20.5 x 16 cm, in bespoke, handcrafted frame (Patrick Guyver), April 2026 #icon #contemporaryart #stilllife #eggTempera #joy #painting

Egg tempera painting in standing frame, inspired by Sienese art from 15C. Guan yin statue sits on jauntily painted headscarf from my childhood in pink,white and blue. There is a bird in a spool of golden yellow thread. Cowslips are in a vase and behind there’s a green enamel teapot with a mix of flowers from my garden and others that have lasted two weeks, in pink, purple and white. It reads like a glowing yellow still life. The frame is gold.
It is a response of love and joy after our grandson was born on April 16th 2026, 32 years after our daughter!
