Welcome to My Countryside Art Blog

Welcome to my corner of the countryside — a space where art, nature, and the beauty of rural life come together. Living in the heart of the British countryside, I’m endlessly inspired by the wildlife I see on my daily dog walks: foxes slipping through the fields, deer watching quietly from the woods, and hares darting across open meadows. Here on the blog, I share the stories and inspiration behind my artwork, from peaceful woodland scenes to working dog portraits. You’ll also find glimpses into life as a pastel artist, reflections on the seasons, and thoughts on how nature and creativity can bring calm to our busy lives. So, grab a cuppa and settle in — I hope my words (and my wildlife art) bring a little piece of the countryside into your home.
