I painted this little yellow rose especially for last weekend’s pop-up mini market ― it sold before it even got to the table! If the rose looks familiar, that may be because it’s based on a photograph I posted earlier in the year.
I do have a few photos of the market to show you — in my next post…
I’m taking part in a pop-up mini market next week in Christchurch (NZ). It will be my first ever market! I know, I know… it’s about time. This is the poster I designed for the event.
We’ll also be popping up on December 13th and 20th ― perfect timing for a spot of last-minute Christmas shopping : )

I’ve painted this magical place (although not this particular image) before. Hamurana Springs also inspired Flow (my first ever abstract), Stand (an experiment in using pastels) and Redwoods (an acrylic version of Stand). There are quite a few layers of paint on this one ― lots of colours and loads of texture. The painting looks particularly good at night with the light spilling down through the gap in the trees and reflecting on the water.
