Walking home in the snow can be a wonderful thing. The world is quiet, blanketed in the crisp, fresh snow. The flakes fall softly all around you, everything is shrouded in grey but the lights ahead glow with the warmth and comfort of home.

Coming Home Through The Snow 
10×8 inch acrylic on board
£150

This winter scene is in St George’s Gardens in Central London.

This is a 10×8 inch oil painting on board.

I haven’t been updating Facebook or my blog as often as I’d like over the past month. Two of our cats have been ill. One of the Bengals, Ming, has Irritable Bowel Syndrome and had a bit of a crisis. He needed a stay in the vets but is back home now and looking better. Although he’s already complaining about his food!

And our elderly tabby has been getting thinner and thinner, even though he’s been eating really well. But now he’s on thyroid meds and putting the weight back on slowly but surely.

This is Ming sitting in the sun. I did this painting last year for the Society Of Feline Artists show. He was sitting in the same spot today enjoying the winter sunshine. :-)
It’s nice to have them both looking well again.

These Big Horn Sheep are in the Canadian Rockies. Handsome sheep and a good excuse to paint snow. This is a 20×16 inch acrylic painting on board.

The flock in the snow. Another Ashdown Forest painting. This one is 12 x 8 inches.

Here it is framed.

Another bullmastiff painting, this is Liam and Truman In The Snow. I love bullmastiffs standing in the snow, there’s something about the colour of their coats against the whiter snow and the blue, lilac shadows that is so lovely to paint. These two handsome boys are father and son.

This is a 22×16 acrylic painting on stretched canvas.

A close up detail of the canvas.

A new Christmas card this year is ‘Waiting For Santa’. Harry is sitting on the snowy rooftops of London watching for Santa to bring him what he wants for Christmas.

I wonder what he’ll wish for this year. Last year he was living rough, an abandoned cat trying to survive in the snow. He  wished for a warm home and people to love him. Well, he got his wish, we rescued him. This year, when he sits in the snow and looks up at the stars, he knows he can come in whenever he wants too and curl up by the fire.

This is Smug Mug. You might recognize her, I used Smug Mug as the basis of this year’s new Christmas card ‘Snowflake Kisses’.

This is a small, mixed media painting on watercolour paper. Its 6×6 inches in an 8×8 frame.
