Deep Peace prayer

‘Deep Peace’ photographed in my dark studio this morning! This was commissioned by a lady who wanted this prayer done very simply. It is in inks and 24 carat gold on fabriano paper.

Deep Peace of the Running Waves to you. Deep Peace of the Flowing Air to You. Deep Peace of the Quiet Earth to You. Deep Peace of the Shining Stars to You. Deep Peace to You. Deep Peace to You.

Based on a Celtic prayer for Karen in NJ

Brian and Veronica ~ with veronica and tulips

For Brian and Veronica – married in Chester just before lockdown.
Veronica sent me some beautiful photographs of their wedding, which included purple Veronica flowers and cream tulips and wondered if I could find a place for the dates of meeting, proposal and wedding. Brian requested blue. It still needs a tiny bit of work around the mount and then I will post it.

Lettering for Otto

🦁🐯🦓🦓🦌🦌 Lettering for a little boy. Otto, born in June, last year. His grandmother, Veronica has commissioned quite a lot of work from me over the years and I always enjoy working with her.
For this one she had seen a previous Noah’s Ark themed work and asked for something similar in blue (see post for ‘Marcus’ in greens) .
I thought the moon and stars would work well this one and make it slightly different from little Marcus’s🦒🦒

Faery Queen

A Faery Queen – I gave this to my niece when her first little brother was born. I think at the time I thought this character could protect her from having been the only child for a few years and now to help her share this space. I don’t know if it made any difference and of course in hindsight I realise I was projecting some of my own experience.

Lettering for Marcus

Marcus🧸
My old school friend, Heidi from New York, requested a Noah’sArk theme for her lovely little boy born last year.
I haven’t seen her for years and loved doing this for her. Bringing back treasured memories🙏💛
