Nowton Park, bury St Edmunds and Homemade Cakes

Daffodils out at Nowton Park, Bury St Edmunds. We went a few weeks ago and none of them where out. They are now and they are stunning, a sea of yellow lines the walk, so I wanted to share them.

and in a few free moments this weekend, we made some cupcakes and enjoyed decorating them with some great pastel colours.

Yum Yum!!

Spring Colours

What Colour brings Spring to mind?

These are my mine, what are yours.......

"I see a green tree. And to me it is green. And you would call the tree green also. And we would agree on this. But is the colour you see as green the same colour I see as green?" - Carson McCullers - Author, Novelist, Short Story writer

Spring Green, with a touch of cerise.

Yellow - Nature, fun, sunshine, warmth.....and those cute little chicks.

Green - Nature, earthiness, warmth

Pastels - Pink, Blue, Green.........

A new Colourart print coming soon

...........evoking the joy and subtlety of Spring,

and don't forget the Easter Bunny xx

Handmade Crafts Directory and Gift Wrapping

I've decided on doing a spot of advertising on handmade-crafts.co.uk and have put togther this logo. Handmade-crafts is a free directory of artists and crafters. I've shown my support for buying handmade on there, so pop over and have a look if you get the chance.

Also, I have just finished this painting, I was asked to add a message to it before I sent it as it is a gift for a new baby. So I made a special gift tag which includes an element from the design.

I hope the new owner of this piece of artwork enjoys it for a long time to come.

I'm always happy to gift wrap a painting for someone if they so wish. Just go to show its always worth asking.

Coming Soon.....

A new development to my main Colourart shop comes in the form of ColourartJunior. ColourartJunior is to be launched very soon, and will be an online store filled with paintings suitable for kids only. All my art for children will be focused into one specially designed site. I am really excited about this site, so I wanted to give you a little sneak preview before it launches.

See you soon with the online www.colourartjunior.co.uk
