🌟 This week's inspiration 🌟

ART & LIFE.
COFFEE & CAKE.
MAKING & MENDING.

1. Thought of the week @Equisgarcia - "Dharma Art is the quality of presence a maker brings to their work...." named what I felt when painting and gives a framework for thinking and talking about my work.

2. Matisse. Inspiring me to know when to stop. Not every inch of every painting needs detail. Empty space allows the detailed areas to shine.

3. Seeing my work hanging in the fabulous @yr_hen_printworks

4. Mending. @asolo.official - these boots are my absolute favourites, at least 12 years old and bald on the bottom. I am overjoyed that they are now in Italy, at the manufacturers who offer a resoling service. Can't wait to have them back.

5. Delish coffee in a plant based no plastic cup the made me smile from @bocsdu

6. Birthday pressie from me to me. Just what I wanted, thank you! @edenashramofficial

7. Happy surprise. When a framed print looks even better than the original.

So.....

I have consulted the crystal ball and can tell you that not only is 2027 going ahead and it’s going to be big, bright, and beautiful ... yours for the taking, so start making plans now!

The news is that the 12 artworks to accompany you through 2027 have been chosen, and I’m working with the printer to create the calendar. And you can pre-order now.
Beautiful bright colours, heavy and luxurious paper, each month a framable art print.
I want to keep these calendars exclusive and special, so I’m only having 100 printed.

Once they are gone, they’re gone!

UK and rest of world shipping available.

🌟 This week's inspiration 🌟

LOVE. Weddings and wedding anniversaries... it's been a week of couple visiting the gallery, celebrating anniversaries, and booking wedding paintings. Love is in the air!

SIMPLICITY. Line drawings. Coffee and a deckchair.

NEW LIFE. Lambs, flowers, to the absolute joy of nature and natural abundance.

Which is your favourite?

1. Pencil sketch, Dewi Sant peninsula

2. The very essence of simplicity I adore @elaineaturnbull

3. Thought of the week 'Art is the thing no one asked you to do'. @lisacongdon

4. @jessicacooperdesign in awe at how apparently simple a painting can yet say so much.

5. the dreaminess of these! by Carol Saunderson.

6. Cuteness overload - morning walk.

7. Coffee and a deckchair - Mwnt West Wales.... paintings in coming!

8. A recently completed wedding commission.

9. Book - How to Art @katebryan_art - a self-confessed art addict with a refreshing 'whatever you're drawn to is the art for you' approach.

'Aberporth to the beach'
What can I say? Where have those last 30 years gone?
When I started painting in the style I'm known for, it was with Sennelier Oil Pastels. I loved their soft lipstick-like creaminess and the way they allowed me to follow the idea of 'colouring in' that fascinated and continues to fascinate me.
Anyone remember Aberporth from the 80s/90s?
I'm currently updating my website and including some of my favourites from the last 30 years that haven't been seen for a while.
See the prints, from £39 on my website.

How to Art by Kate Bryan.

I love this book especially for the art curious, or people like me who always felt excluded from the art world because I perceived it as something special, impenetrable and reserved for an elite.

Art isn’t something you need to “get right” or be qualified for — it’s something you feel, explore, and make part of your everyday life. Trust your instincts, stay curious, and let art be personal, not intimidating.

🌊 To the Beach – Llangrannog

There’s something about the road to Llangrannog…the way it curves and carries you down towards the sea.

Colourful cottages leaning into one another, people gathering, pausing, chatting—dogs weaving in and out, all of it gently flowing in the same direction.

You can almost feel the anticipation…
that sense of we’re nearly there.

This one feels full of life, warmth, and shared moments—a snapshot of summer

This piece is available from @orielcardibach
If it brings back a memory, or you can see it brightening a space in your home, feel free to send Jess at the gallery a message💛

**Deep Blue ii**

There’s a depth that only comes at night…
When the colours deepen,
the water stills,
and everything feels a little more internal, more reflective.

This painting sits in that space — where the world quietens and what’s left is something softer, slower, dreamlike.

Boats resting, held gently by the dark water, light quietly catching the surface ... and anything is possible.

* I also paint pieces like this on commission—if you have a place or memory in mind, message me.

Part of my spring collection, now showing at Oriel Cardi Bach in Cardigan, West Wales, until 24th April. 🌿

Some paintings take time…
layers building slowly, decisions unfolding as they go.

And some arrive almost all at once.

This one felt like that — as if it already knew what it wanted to be. The marks stayed loose, the shapes only just held, and I found myself not wanting to overwork it.

There’s something I love about that…
leaving space, allowing things to remain a little unresolved, a little open.

Like the water itself — always shifting, never fixed.

There’s a quiet moment just before the day begins…

When everything feels still,
colours are softened by the early light.

This painting of Solva came from one of those spring mornings — the harbour gently reflecting the first light, the houses slowly emerging from shadow, and a sense of calm that feels almost timeless.

A pause before the day unfolds.

How’s your Easter day been? I hope you’re having a lovely time here we’re waiting for a family to arrive and I’ve been finishing off a little commission that is on its way to live in Italy.

We’ve been for a walk too, and I have these beautiful photographs to inspire my next painting.

Loving the energy that’s around this time of year, especially when the sun shines!

If you’re thinking about a commission for yourself to get in touch and I can send you a PDF about the commissioning process.

Happy Easter, you lovely lot 💐

Pasg Hapus, Happy Easter

This painting - 60 x 60cm is my Easter painting of St David's Cathederal with the spring blossoms of the ancient cherry tree in the grounds. This is my favourite view of the cathederal - the approach from the ancient cobbled path of Merrivale, towards the main door.
I always think the seagulls that are often seen there (it's only a mile or two from the sea) look like angels flying overhead.

This painting is in my solo show at Oriel Cardi Bach, Aberteifi, until 24th April, along with 19 other new spring-themed, colour filled joyful images.

Happy Easter

There’s a certain kind of day on the West Coast of Wales…
when the sea turns that deep, impossible blue,
the boats drift quietly,
and the shoreline comes alive with wildflowers.

It’s the kind of scene that stays with you —
held somewhere between memory and feeling.

This painting was created several years ago, inspired by those bright, breezy spring days where everything feels fresh, open, full of possibility.

Spring on the West Coast of Wales - Parrog from Newport Sands.

Available as prints on paper and canvas.

Each spring, without fail, this lovely tree that I planted 15 years ago, blossoms.

Soft pink petals appear almost overnight, catching the light in a way that feels both familiar and quietly miraculous. No matter what the winter has been, no matter how long or grey, Jupiter comes back into bloom.
There’s something deeply reassuring in that rhythm.

This painting began there — with the simple noticing of blossom against the sky, and the sense of life returning, gently but surely. And then, as I painted, another layer revealed itself.

Beneath the tree, the daisies are pushing through the grass. And resting there too are Minnie and Bosun — my two old Jack Russells, still part of this place, still present in their own way.
It didn’t feel like something I chose to include. More that they were already there.

There’s a quiet comfort in that feeling… that nothing we love is ever truly lost. It changes, softens, becomes part of the landscape of who we are. Like roots beneath the surface, unseen but holding everything in place.

A gentle reminder that life continues to unfold, and that love stays with us in ways we don’t always expect.

'Pushing up Daisies' is part of my current exhibition at Oriel Cardi Bach in Cardigan, West Wales, running until 24th April.

If you’re able to visit, I’d love you to see the work in person. And if not, you can message me if you’d like more details — I’m always happy to share.
