Sunshine portraits and commissions, whether they’re watercolours, wedding portraits, birthday gifts or illustration of another nature… they’re always my favourite things to work on! So here’s another little round up of work I’m allowed to share…

So, the last 6 weeks truly have flown by! I know, I know! I sound like a broken record but it’s usually flying by because we’ve been out and about, adventuring to different places and a lot has been crammed in but this time it’s flown by and we’ve mostly been at home. And here is the reason why…

Keeping it bright and breezy with a short update this time as this month has been taken over by a rather exciting new arrival! She will have her very own blog post and introduction coming soon though, stay tuned for some not so subtle hints throughout this post!

WOW!

To be honest, I actually don’t think I can find the words to do my mini adventure justice so maybe I should just leave it there. OK, so you know I’m full of too much waffle to do that but with that sentiment in mind…

Oooft! We’re flying through the new year already, aren’t we? Before Christmas I toyed with the idea of changing the name of these monthly round up titles but I can’t think of anything short, sweet and snappy…

Over the last few years, The Beard and I have chosen to spend Christmas Day at home in Cambridge, with the cats and it’s always brilliant! Full of food, drink, films and the odd walk to make room for the cheeseboard and port later in the day. This year though…

WAHOO! I made it to the end of the year and with 12 monthly round up blog posts done too! I hope you’ve enjoyed reading along and re-capping each month with me? Personally, I find it really useful, not only to stop, breathe and take a few moments to appreciate what I’ve achieved each month but it helps..

WOO! Another year gone and another 12 outfits and adventures documented! So before we head full speed into the shiny new year, I thought I’d get a quick 2019 round done to showcase the 12 little portraits I created….

Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! See you all when I’m back in the studio on the 8th of January 2020!

In my head it’s still March but apparently 2019 is nearly over and I feel more cliche than ever as I repeatedly say how fast this bloody year is going… BUT IT’S WHIZZING BY! The main thing I love about these little monthly round ups is that I can…

This week is JUST A CARD week and I’ve been so busy, thanks to you lovely lot, I haven’t had the time or brain space to take part… until TODAY! So I’m ‘treating’ you all to a mega-bumper-sunshine-shot of all 5 prompts in one little blog post - you lucky beans. So, here goes…

The festive Sunshine Van is back to update you on this year’s posting dates!

And just like that another month came and went! Now it’s November and we’re already half way through (eep!) so before it disappears completely, I thought I’d share a quick round up of October….

YES! The Sunshine Jumpers are back and this year I’m hoping for even more swears and giggles! Over the last 4 or 5 years, these little jumpers have come back each Winter and since offering personalised versions, they have provided many a…

I just realised that the name of these monthly posts doesn’t really make sense! I mean, they should probably be called ‘goodbye *insert month here*’ rather than hello but seeing as nobody has pointed that out to me yet and they’ve been going a couple of years maybe I’ll just…

It will soon be a month since we left for our Norwegian adventure and seeing as I promised to write about what we got up to, I figured it was time to pull my finger out and share some holiday snaps! This was my 4th trip to Norway and it really is one of my most favourite places to explore - each trip has been so different but

Blink and you’ll miss it! This Summer has WHIZZED by isn’t it? It’s been a big ol’ mix of adventures and work this month so I’ve tried to pick a couple of highlights to share from both camps! Let’s kick off with the hard, more serious stuff…

I’m about to let you in on a bit of a secret… well not really a secret but something I’ve pretty much kept to myself over the past few months… back in June I started an adventure of a different kind.

An adventure into the world of fitness.

Oh July, you have been a month of it all! Ups and downs a plenty and I have to be honest towards the end of the month I wasn’t much looking forward to looking back and reliving some bits but here we are. Let’s start with the good times, the play times and the fun….

It’s been nearly 6 months since I wrote a post dedicated to sharing Sunshine Portraits so I figured it was about time to pop over and share some more of my favourites with you. Sunshine commissions, whether they’re watercolours, wedding portraits, birthday gifts or illustration of another nature…
