A few ideas

I did these little images many, many years ago and have never done anything with them, nor did I pursue the idea. But as I am having a crisis of confidence I thought maybe I should go back to things I did a long time ago and resurrect the ideas. I was trained in design and Illustration so perhaps revisiting some of the things I learned then might work to get me painting again. These would make quite nice cards, so when I get some time I will print a few and see if they sell.

  3. I missed this on my Blog feed .... just saw it on the UKCPS links site. So I'm late!

    These are lovely Bev - very vibrant and exciting. Sometimes 'a change is as good as a rest' as the expression goes. Hope they will do well for you and also get you back on track with your art

  5. Hi Bev
    I think these images are great for cards. Often people want colorful, stylized kind of images on cards rather than The very realisic ones. Good luck in The ukcps comp. :)
