Rose, The Year of the Ox...

So here is the completed picture, I hope she likes it!

Rosebud gets her picture...

Finally, it only took me a year to get the finger out and paint a picture for my niece, Rose. She is over a year old now. Better late than never!!! I have included my sketches here and some photos of the various stages in the process.

Chinese New Year Paintings...

Some more paintings for the Chinese New Year characters...

More Chinese New Year Animals

Here is another Chinese New Year Zodiac painting. This was commissioned by Una for her family, including her husband and two sons.

Chinese New Year Animals...

So I have been commissioned to do two more Chinese New Year paintings. The one below and one with four animals on it for an entire family! I will post the other pictiure soon.

BUY! BUY! BUY!

It's eight weeks to Christmas people. Can you believe it? Yay. I am going to Canada for Christmas. Double yay! Lots of snow!

I am taking orders for presents if anyone wants to buy handmade... I will make to order felt dolls/cats/horses/dogs etc, they are filled with lavender and are perfect for keeping your drawers smelling nice! They are €8 each or three for €20.

Also, I have been commissioned to do a painting like the Chinese new year animals I did for my nephews. Single one costs €30. If you want to combine a few birth years, I can do this on a bigger scale.

Drop me an email for any orders! simonecrowley@gmail.com

Where have I been...

Been very busy lately, so I have not found the time to update this site. As you are aware, I have set up Paper Lantern Studios. I also got a Graphic Design job Mon-Wed, so that has me kept busy too.

It was my nephews (Freddie) christening on Saturday. As he was born in the Chinese Year of the Golden Pig I painted him a picture (and one for his brother Sam).
