This research into Stubbs has inspired me to study the horse myself, as I feel one cannot say that they 'love' a particular animal if they do not understand it's inner workings. It has been a real eye-opener, and I am pretty sure that my paintings of horses are improving. It is easier for me now to see how the hind leg would bend, and the muscles contract, making it easier for me to paint.

I am currently preparing my dissertation for which I am studying the anatomical works of George Stubbs, focusing on the horse. It's been so interesting reading about him and his art so far, and I'm confident that it will keep me engrossed for the next 8 months. 'Whistlejacket' is by far one of my most favourite paintings, and at just a shade under life-size, it is a beautiful capture of the chestnut stallion.

A few more portraits of horses. I enjoy trying to capture the personality of the horse in my work, which becomes much easier when I focus on the face.

Some more recent paintings of horses that I have sold.

Some more images from my current project. These are some of the final paintings that I am going to put into my final book.

Two horse paintings I have done for fun recently.  I know the image quality is not amazing, they do look better in real life.  I have to do something for the background on both, but I just can't decide!  Any suggestions are gladly received.  I was thinking maybe black?

These are some images from my current project.  My grandparents lived in Sudan for a year, where my grandma became the first woman to pass her driving test.  I love the stories she has told me, so I am basing my project on them. 

A fantastic jewellery website I found.

It's such cute stuff, and not really that expensive either.  

Just a happy pony.  

Another 3 Grafittis!  I love the Ostrich, and the seal, and the horse as well really!  

These are a couple of random images I found.  The bottom one is from one of my life-drawing sessions last term.  I love life-drawing, it really does improve your drawing.  The other two are some elephants, quite pointless, but rather happy, nonetheless.

Some amazing cakes I found.  I love cake decorating, it's like painting, but on cakes!  My baking isn't quite so great though.

These are some of the paintings I produce for a local shop to sell on my behalf.  They are all black and white, most of them on long thin canvases, though I have done some smaller ones in the past.  I also take commissions too when people want them.

More Grafittis I made.  These are some of my favourites.  I love the elephant shrew.    

These are some studies that I did of horse anatomy.  I really love looking into how things move, especially animals, but I am also getting interested in human anatomy too.  It turns out that it's very hard, but it's something I really want to try more of.

This is an Easter present I created for my dad.  It's a doorstop.  He's a little obsessed with chickens to say the least, and we currently have four living in our garden.  I made it on a little sewing machine I got for my birthday, and it took about a day.

A fantastic video, using paper cutting. I think it works really well. Not my work, just something I admire.

A few more 'Graffitis' I have created.
