ART AUCTION | ENDS 13TH MARCH 2022

Right now I have an auction running, bids close on Sunday 13th March. All bids start at the crazy price of .99p on these!

Everyone Loves How I Was Inspired To Paint Blue Elephants
It’s interesting to watch the planet’s turn in the skies and see the influence their sound has upon the world and in my life. I’m no expert in astrology, it’s not my forte, but I know enough to see the changes that occur like a clock turning. And round the dial the planet’s go and…
Knight of Swords Tarot Card Meaning – The Hare Tarot Deck
This white mountain hare is full of life and pretty upbeat and cheerful as he leaps with tremendous fearlessness and boundless energy over dizzy heights. He shows great ambition, determination and strength to succeed no matter what. He is on a roll that’s for sure … but soon he will realise that if he doesn’t slow down he may have a few things to think about to keep him on the straight and narrow.
Angel Messages
I was led down a path of little footsteps nestled in the ground. But these were not just footsteps made in muddy ground, they were made of stone, as if they had been left many millions of years ago. I knew when I saw them that they were messages from the angels who had once walked upon this earth, it was just a feeling I had. These footsteps showed themselves to me as if they were reemerging somehow in this timeline/lifetime to encourage us to keep the faith…
Wheel of Fortune Tarot Card Meaning – The Hare Tarot Deck
Even though you may not be able to see it, you can probably sense that the path you have trodden is in full fruit and bloom as a result of your efforts, so allow yourself to feel into this and sense the direction of fate and destiny and go with the flow…
Judgement Tarot Card Meaning – The Hare Tarot Deck
This was the third card I designed for my Hare Tarot Deck, again rather fitting for my situation; it has been a long time in the making and is now coming to fruition. And when it is done and shared I will feel an integration with the whole somehow, making my contribution more solid in the area of life I am meant to be – where I can play my correct part…
Ladybird Messages
Whenever you glance at this ladybird my intention is to remind you not to move forward too fast at this stage… be patient, your wishes will come true all in natural timing. You can leave your worries behind you if you allow it, and really honour your own truth…
How to Price your Artwork Confidently
HOW NOT TO DO IT When I first started selling my artwork (what feels like many moons ago now!) I would more or less triple my material costs and leave it at that. It worked for a while … but was really only a starting point and definitely not one I could maintain if I…
Introducing the NEW Hare Tarot Deck – One of a Kind
NEW BEGINNINGS After your incredibly supportive responses that I received for the Hare Tarot Deck Cards that I started designing and drawing around September 2016 I am pleased to announce that I have now committed myself to designing a whole deck – exciting stuff! Appropriately in the image above you see me designing the Judgement…
King of Pentacles Tarot Card Meaning – The Hare Tarot Deck
This guy doesn’t really scream romance, but he does emanate dependability – he is definitely someone you can trust. This hare is a really good hare to have by your side when the going gets tough because he is sound and steadfast…
King of Swords Tarot Card Meaning – The Hare Tarot Deck
This hare likes to take his responsibilities very seriously and is in full command of his senses. He may look stern, but he is fair. He is aware of the spiritual aspects of life…
Five of Pentacles Tarot Card Meaning – The Hare Tarot Deck
This little hare and his companions are feeling rather desolate here and I want to move on swiftly so that we can assist them to move through this phase …
The King of Cups Tarot Card Meaning – The Hare Tarot Deck
This strong yet gentle regal hare has been through many tribulations in life, you can see this from the healed rip in his large and strong ears. These adversities have taught him the nuances of how to understand and master the most deep and complex parts of himself, as signified by the fish flying out of the waters behind. He certainly understands more than most how to balance emotions and intellect so that they work best for him and those around him…
The Three of Cups Tarot Card Meaning – The Hare Tarot Deck
This is the first card that I designed for this deck, a very appropriate card to start with. There are several layers to why this is so fitting: I part designed a different Tarot Deck about 10 years ago and it ended up going on the back burner. Now the time is right to continue on that path again after it has been simmering away in the background for so long. In August 2016 a very close friend died which left me devastated and it was almost as though her passing prompted me to start this project again…
Heal the Wounded Inner Child and Mother Energy Pendant
Wearing this amulet on your person will carry on any healing work you have evoked whilst you are not conscious of it. Also wearing it on your person will also remind you to look inward to heal this issue whenever you feel it on your skin, or touch it with your hand. It is so easy to sweep this kind of healing under the carpet, hoping that it will go away. Time does not heal these wounds, only specific introspection and negotiation can heal these wounds of childhood adversity. Left alone they only grow into deeper mental disorders such as C-PTSD as an example… read more …
