just feel the warmth of the sun as its setting on a beautiful afternoon in London.

It make me happy and laugh because i did the picture and it is laughing at me so i laugh at the picture

I am a big fan of Banksy so this is my graffiti tribute to him, and when I paint I enjoy how my mind brings my pictures to life.

Allowing myself to walk in a natural environment and take in the shapes of the branches and gaze into water always makes me feel much less anxious and more relaxed.

Catching the light at Agnes Burton.

The image represents male and female birds. Whilst in hospital at Stuart House i fed the wild birds in the garden and they became very tame.

Faces in my garden

Crocus blossoming in snow.

Magic everywhere: snowdrops in an otherwise flower-less garden, after rain.

Lace made using free machining techniques, with hand embellishment and beading, made to my own design.

When I’m heavily depressed I take photos of myself smiling to remind me that I can feel better and that’s its only a matter of when.

I feel better when I am watching The Phantom Of the Opera.

To laugh, the strum of a guitar, good food. It’s the simple things in life that make me feel better. Here are many of the things in life that make me feel better, arranged on my scrabble board.

It’s often the simple things in life that can help to change our mood and make us feel better. Here are a few of the most important things that make me feel better, put together using scrabble pieces arranged on one of my acrylic paintings – titled ‘Waves’.

Late evening sun glowing through grasses… halos promising a good day to follow

Spring… Rebirth after the dark… new hope… new life

I feel better when spring and warm weather finaly comes and makes all the trees and flowers bloom and grow. When finaly all the surroundings start to become alive.

I feel better when I am enjoying the warm and fresh summer rain which makes the nature around look green and alive.

When it’s time to bloom, show your true beauty to the world.

Sit and surround yourself with natural beauty, a perfect time to be mindful.
