The other day I came home from teaching my class at Winterbourne House & Gardens with some lovely Japonica blossoms that they had cut for us to paint. I spent a lovely, soul-repairing quiet hour painting these and catching up with The Archers.
You may not know that I’ve been selling my surface pattern design licences on @patternbank for a little while now.
It’s what I originally trained to do back in 1990 and is still a part of my studio practice that I love to find time for.

This is my recent Japonica painting put into a pattern repeat and some of the cool mock-ups that #patternbank use.
