What do you want to see in November?
So. I have a rough plan for the pieces I'm going to produce for my new show Lucky but I'd love your help. So many of you lovely, loyal follower folk have been so good to me over the years and I'd like to produce some work especially for you! If you comment below an idea of what you'd like to see me paint/draw it could end up being included in the new show, aaand you could win yourself the first edition print! Remember the scope for my show is luck, magic and belief so please try any keep your ideas within that territory. Sound like a plan? GO!
Fine print: Enter as many times as you like there will be only one winner and I reserve the right to interpret your suggestions to work within my chosen theme. Winner gets number 1/100 signed and numbered (unframed) giclee print, including delivery.

Hi Laura, Not sure if you received this last month, so am resending :)
Nothing better than People’s Stories
Why don’t you ask people about their stories?
• Tattoo’s
I have 2 swallows on my arm. I didn’t know whether to get them and was pondering it down by the park when a small group of swallows darted past. I had never seen swallows before , until then. I was only going to get one, but read that swallows pair for life. This gives me some belief that I might meet my Prince Charming one day. Swallows are magical to me too – they’re the bird I remember from a childhood story for being so compassionate and loving.
• Numbers- why is a number lucky to you….frowned upon in some cultures…a basis for new beginnings or the end
• Symbols
• Symbolism e.g. animals – seahorse, rabbits foot
• Spoken words – I used to attribute my winning streak to having ‘the luck of the Irish’….then my sister duly informed me that we actually were a smidgen Irish
Feathers – kaakahu (cloak – we use it for graduations), meaning behind certain feathers e.g. peacock feather = immortality & the eye = knowledge/seeing all (a love cure in feng shui), when feathers fall in your path is a sign of angels or something from above, adorned in clothing…something to do with or incorporating feathers When you wish upon….a star, birthday candle, fairies (from dandelions) Children’s magic – buttercups under chin = liking butter, tooth fairy, lucky first tooth, daisy chains Mythological creatures – could create your own or based upon peoples stories of their lucky animals & symbols? Potions & Spells – herbs, ingredients Folklaw

My 3 yr old daughter would love to see your interpretation of a spider in a web. Spiders in webs are so magical looking, and are entwined in magic, luck and belief!

Would love to see some portraits with magical expressions!

Millie is on a fairy buzz at the moment I’d love to see your interpretation of a woodland tinkerbell kind of creature..

Hmmm I think belief in yourself is the key, then luck and magic only come when you have clear vision and take action. What about a close up painting of a hand holding a lucky stone? Such as a gratitude stone (google it), people might like to hold on to while they have faith/pray/are thankful.

I would like to see some kind of planet scene, constellations and galaxies, star gazing, moonscape…
