The new paintings by Amanda Clark. Miniature is the latest inspiration.

Some of the new paintings that I have been working on during the late Summer and Autumn have become smaller, and with a black chunky frame, they look so inviting and mysterious.  Like little snippets of dreams.
These are a few images that I have to show you for now.  Many more to come!

Emerald Fields by Amanda Clark.

The Badger

The White Hare

All hand embellished with gold leaf.

A gift of an early Spring after the storms of England.

The February storms have passed and these first few days of March have been amazing for the early buds and blossoms of the hedgerow and woods.  While walking the tiny country lanes I find that everywhere has  come alive with the first flowers of Spring. Snowdrops are fading now to create the space for daffodils and celandines and the first of the cherry blossom are in company of singing birds calling their mate home for the evening.
The soft Spring light after the rains has inspired new paintings of nature as it returns to new life.

The fresh greens and softness of creamy pinks against the dark branches of trees.

Beautiful calm, sunny days with whispers of mist over the water.
