'Frothy Giggles'
Cloudscape painting in soft pastels 40x30m
Frothy giggles rise up into the ether as the spring air buoys them with a zing they couldn't contemplate in wintry hibernation. They skip and frolic - and the giggles continue to bubble up and release with the light playfulness and complete abandon that springtime invites.

'Travelling Ghosts'
Cloudscape painting in soft pastels 40x30cm
Deep purple swirls and puffs whisk around the skies like expressions of travelling ghosts. Are they reminders that we could ponder on our inner wishes and intentions this weekend?

'Rose-tinged Bursts'
Cloudscape painting in soft pastels 40x30cm
Bubbles of colour spring up across the mountains, invigorated by their misty hibernation of the last few days. Rose-tinged bursts come forth like mini fireworks over the bay.

'Mid-morning Haze'
Cloudscape painting in soft pastels 40x30cm
Faint pinks are amid the clouds in the mid morning haze - is it a long sunrise or an extremely early sunset? Maybe the fairies have their washing out!
'Marbled Hues'

Marbled hues chase the shimmering light leaving stagnant shadow streaks in the swirling mist.
'Raw'
Cloudscape painting in soft pastels 40x30cm
Deep purply-indigo flecked clouds creep across the horizon. Not just your average stormy grey but these mean business, a proper temper tantrum of toddler proportions - all toys out of the proverbial pram! Dramatic though it is, there's something raw and pure about the intent, like a detox of the skies.

'Soft Footprints'
Cloudscape painting in soft pastels 40x30cm
Muted marble bursts of colour appear across the thick opaque cloud cover, releasing sweet petal pinks and violets. Each one emerges as if there are soft footprints pattering across faint stepping stones of billowing mesh, swiftly swallowed up as the clouds collide in the breeze.
'Lacy Veil'
Cloudscape painting in soft pastels 40x30cm
The pale yellow of the afternoon sun bashfully makes its way across the bay, stoically emerging as if not sure if it should do so. Darker clouds sensitively form a lacy veil to provide a space for the winter hues to protect their blushes. This benefits them both as the sky becomes awash with yellows and indigos, enriching their journeys and the vision of anyone caring to gaze upwards.

'Catching Dreams'
Cloudscape painting in soft pastels 40x30cm
Gently illuminated by fragmented sunshine, a cloud breaks and scatters like a burst feather pillow. Some scatterings are held captivated by the light, as if it's catching their dreams before they float off in the breeze.
'Waves'
Cloudscape painting in soft pastels 40x30cm
Clouds mirror sea as streaks run across the skies in huge waves that surge and plough forth each time the wind takes a breath.
