Dorset is a county in the UK of great beauty. Its landscape and rural lifestyle offers real inspiration for aspiring artists. I write stories and paint, two methods of escape from the daily domestic routine that shapes my life as a Mother of three. I worked for years but feel this is a new phase in my life, one which I want to explore further, not just as an escape but as an alternative reality.

A New Start
Recently I realised the only way to post up my work was to create a blog. Boring people, bombarding them with my outpourings simply was not going to work anymore. The criticism was non-existent, the flattery sweet but on the wane. This space is a place where I post my stories, stories of my life. My paintings and sketches. Call it therapeutic if you want.
I start with a painting. A landscape from Dorset, the Purbeck hills viewed from the Wareham river. It is not yet finished... any comments on how it can be improved would be welcome.
