She/her. #Bi. #AuDHD. #Artist. #Scottish. #Atheist. #Liberalaf. Cat owned. #Ghost and #spn obsessed. #Gen-X but don't let that put you off, at least I'm not a boomer. Also, #fuckai
Sneak peek at the #pelargonium I'm working on. I love adding shiny paint! #painting #watercolour #botanical #SciArt
Around 30 years ago I had a nose piercing, a ring through the right side. I loved it, but it never healed properly. So it closed over. When I got married and later into another relationship, neither of my partners wanted me to have #piercings. (Ikr?). Anyway, after 25 years of wanting it...
It was bound to happen sooner or later: Watership Down has been a favourite of mine for over 40 years. This #painting is done on a page from the book. The Chief Rabbit of the Sandleford Warren from chaper 2. #available #watercolour #rabbit #bunny #WatershipDown
Blue and gold #macaw. I love painting these guys, such great characters. #available if anyone is interested in such things, only £50 plus postage, because I'm feeing generous 😜 #art #painting #watercolour #bird #SciArt
Feeling crabby. Because #crabs are awesome. #watercolour #painting #sciart
Finally painting again. Love #pigeons. #watercolour #art #birds #watercolor
Started painting again. A pelargonium. #watercolour #botanicalart #pelargonium
For mother's day in the UK my kids did this. So awesome, my man Bunny!
Meant to post this at Christmas, but I guess now is just as good. #watercolour #watercolor #painting
Going to be teaching #pineapples again next year at at #RoyalBotanicGardenEdinburgh. Nice. #watercolour #Watercolor #Painting #drawing #BotanicalArt #SciArt
How about a whole #bird instead of just a head this time? #Macaw #painting #watercolour #watercolor #art #SciArt #birdArt
Who's a pretty boy then? #Macaw #Painting #watercolour #Watercolor #Art #SciArt #Bird #BirdArt
#Cyclamen. I teach a class on this and paint it at least once every year. I still love it. #painting #watercolour #watercolor #art #SciArt #BotanicalArt
Thysanolaena maxima. A huge grass-like plant native to #Nepal. This is a detail of a much larger #painting. #watercolor #watercolour #art #SciArt #BotanicalArt
Seeds. 'Tis the season of nuts and seeds and little crispy bits. #autumn #watercolour #watercolor #art #painting #fall #SciArt

Happy #Autumn #equinox everyone! Now is a time of burning leaves, crisp apples and pumpkins ripening. My favourite time of the year. This one is the Bloody Ploughman apple, fun to paint. #apple #painting #watercolour #watercolor #art #SciArt
Another little #autumn leaf. Demonstration for a private #art lesson #painting #watercolour #watercolor #SciArt

It feels like #autumn is really here now in Scotland. #Watercolour #Watercolor #Painting #Art #SciArt #Leaf

#Sunflower seed head, another of the series that won me an RHS gold medal. This was a complicated subject - I had to use maths! #watercolour #Watercolor #Painting #Art #SciArt #Yellow #Plants
This handsome fellow was a commission piece that I did a couple of years ago. He has such an expressive face. #PetPortrait #watercolour #watercolor #art #dog #painting
"Bugs" may have been one of the worst episodes of #Supernatural, but this guy is pretty awesome. Had a lot of fun #painting the metallic shades #Watercolour #watercolor #art #SciArt #bugs #naturalhistory
