Thank you for joining, Helen

the full moon energy is something else right now.
Unplanned studio clearout - finding a dog painting from 8 year old me. Near meltdown from work overload saved by LOVE and a walk on the beach.
Old patterns surfacing, seen, assessed and understood. Appreciation of creativity - what a day!

And I didn’t even have a dog then but I sure loved them.

Oooooo not long now!! Delighted to be teaming up with @elementsnewport and gracing the walls of their stall at the Eisteddfod from 1-8th August … so let the packing begin!! Albert has the right idea as usual - just relax😂

I’m also opening my studio to visitors 5-8th in the afternoons - deets on my website. Croeso bawb.

People have been commenting all week about how my paintings make them happy and when I look at them, yes that’s what they are about. People also comment that they all include dogs. And again that’s what they’re all about the joy that a dog shows running in the fields, sitting on the beach, digging holes, eating dinner - the being in the moment awareness that the dog brings to every situation.

This one I finished while I’ve been here at the Gallery this week and it’s called ‘He isn’t thinking about what’s next or why he’s just there.’ Sunset, Llangrannog West Wales

As promised a review of the new original paintings that are available from this show at the Guildhall in cardigan and on my website and of course you could always just take a screenshot and send that to me to enquire.

Last day today and then I’m taking all this home and you can see it at the studio if you’re in the area be lovely to see you.

Happy summer it’s been great so far.

Last day at the Guildhall Gallery tomorrow, and I’m surprised these two haven’t found their Forever Homes yet. The first one ‘Resting’ is one of my favourites. I just love the simplicity in the colour and the sentiment! The second one Little Horse - so many people have loved that, so many people have had it in their hands. It’s just waiting for its right person.

And that’s what I love - that’s why I do this - the connection between the painting and the person when it finds the one.

Sometimes it feels like running an animal sanctuary! Trying to match the animal with the new owner😂😂

Every year I tell myself I'll paint more muted colours.

And every year this happens.

Apparently I have absolutely no self-control around turquoise.

This beach is approximately 73% turquoise and 27% wishful thinking 🤣

I'm fine with that.

Guildhall, Cardiagn until Saturday 25th and online.

…. not because I don’t know what to do next, but because I’m trying not to overwork it. My artist daughter @elliott_schmid_art and I have painted this together, and it’s become a lovely conversation between our two styles. Sometimes the biggest challenge isn’t painting more... it’s knowing when the painting has already said enough.

"The tide was unusually still this morning..."

Deep Blue series.

Summer. Slowing down.
The changing blues of the sea.
Warmth of sunlit walls.
Quiet moments between the tides.

Familiar places returned to, seen differently each time.

Over the past few months, these moments have found their way into the studio. Alongside paintings of much-loved local beaches and harbours, these three explore something new for me.

I've been allowing colour to lead the way.
Painting a little looser, a little quieter, and more instinctive—less about describing a place and more about capturing the feeling of being there.

They've become some of my favourite pieces to paint. These Deep Blue paintings are a small glimpse of the collection.

Also on show at Cardigan's Guildhall Gallery until July 25th

Is there no end to my talents😜

spent this morning framing new work for next week’s show at The Guildhall in Cardigan ; partly because I really like the hands-on craft of making of a frame and partly because I never know what I’m going to need framing until the last minute, 😜😜🙄

DIY is the way to go!

Thanks and appreciation to the lovely Chloe for her teaching and support

When I'm planning a workshop or teaching, I miss my solo time painting; when I'm by myself painting, I miss the people and workshops....

The more I understand myself, the more I honour and work with these aspects in harmony.

At present, prepping the studio for tomorrow's Paint*Magic workshop and the question keeps coming to mind -

"why is it that self-expression can sometimes be so hard?"

Can't wait to get into that through colour and discussion with ma peeps.

Two spots left - DM me or have a look at the website.

And next week - solo time in the studio painting for a week long pop up at the Corn Exchange Gallery in Aberteifi 20-26th July.

LOLLLLL

so much going on this summer 😊

Did I mention a current exhibition @orielyparc St Davids?

I'm proud of this exhibition - featuring my favourite Pembrokeshire place and paintings from the last 30 years.

The show is on until 2nd August, and if you can't make the show in person you can see highlights now on my website - you know where ;-)

Understanding the energies associated with the chakra centres can be a powerful creative tool because it gives you different entry points into expression. Instead of trying to “come up with an idea,” you can begin with a felt sense in the body and let that shape what appears on the page or canvas.

Day workshop. Saturday 11 or 18th July. West Wales

I’m buzzing with excitement about this weekend’s workshop exploring the chakra colours and how we express those with paint.

Join me on Saturday for a day long workshop where we will create a Work journal and a large painting as we explore responses to the different colours associated with the different chakra points

This is a really beautiful way to explore paint and your response to the different colours there’s no expectation of creating a finished painting as purely play experimentation and discovering your beautiful unique self.

Have a look on my website or DM me if you’d like details. I’ve got two spaces left this Saturday in Newcastle Emlyn.

A little bit more about the workshops coming up in July.

Colour has always been my main theme and I’ve always been a student of psychology and yoga and now I am putting these things together using the energy centres of the chakras and the colours associated with them to explore unlocking creativity.

It’s going to be amazing and I’m so excited!

Thanks for everybody who’s booked so far- we still hve a couple of spaces on the 11th and 18th of July here in West Wales. Have a look at the website or DM me for more details.

Have a fabulous weekend😘

What's inspiring me this week:

1. Mary Fedden - as always 🩷
2. @thechirpcorner just makes me smile and is so true!
3. Why it's important to be curious @pagegalleryjournal
4. Moomin Law from my kitchen wall.
5. This pattern ❤️❤️ I could eat it up! @karoistanbul_tiles

This lot is filtering through and I can't wait to see how it seeps into the paintings.

Whoooo summer!

I'm feeling the love for our beautiful West Wales beaches at the moment, where I've been soaking up inspiration, and I have some new "dogs on the beach" prints on the website today to share the joy.

However much I enjoy the beach, no-one quite enjoys a beach like our pups do!

Deets on the website 😘😘

This was a labour of absolute love - choosing 30 paintings from the last 25 years to represent what Pembrokeshire has meant to me over the years - nature's lessons, catholic retreats, friends and family holidays, beautiful fresh food, history, geology, art, snad castles, beach days, long distance walks, solitude, wild winter nights, book writing, women bishops, sadness and frienships. All rolled into my stories, all rolled into these paintings.

- and what a blooming lovely team at the St Davids Visitor Centre - Diolch y Galon x

What a day ☀️
So so pleased to be back home in my lovely cool north facing studio after delivering paintings to St Davids for a solo show at Oriel y Parc Gallery.
Delighted to visit @dead.seacollective shop at St Ds and browse the vinyl - what a gorgeous venture. So cool 🧊🧊

on my way back, it was great to touch base with Isabel @elementsnewport and restock her cards and discuss showing some paintings with her at the nationional Eisteddfod coming to Aberteifi in August.

What a treat it’s been to meet such lovely humans today - including the young chap who dinted my van - no worries - we’ll sort it.
