Inspired by Celtic knotwork and Medieval manuscripts - my 'Blue Butterflies' Celtic Medieval artwork...

If you've taken my Essential Drawing Skills course, you'll know that I'm very inspired by Medieval artwork and Medieval manuscripts, as well as Celtic knotwork... 

Now that I feel a little more practised with my Celtic knotwork, I thought I'd see if I could also bring in more of a feel of a medieval manuscript - I love the way that tiny paintings of flowers, butterflies, birds, animals and even people decorate the edges of the manuscript pages, and I thought I'd like to bring something of that to this artwork.

​I'm also drawing on my recent Celtic art style butterfly and flower artworks - I wanted to keep drawing butterflies as I've loved drawing them so much.
​
I started out with the Celtic knotwork - carefully planning out a design...

Pretty Daisy and Painted Lady butterfly artwork in a Celtic knotwork style...

We're feeling as fresh and happy as a summer daisy with my pretty Painted Lady butterfly artwork - there's nothing like an innocent daisy to bring us a cheerful smile!

I create my artwork digitally from hand-drawn pieces in pen, marker, and coloured pencil. Here's how I created this piece...

Loving nature and sunshine with my pretty Peacock Butterfly & Sunflower art prints & products...

I made this artwork on a dark winter's day to take me to a feeling of sunshine and summer - hope it can take you, too, on a journey through nature to sunny days...

In the language of flowers, the sunflower means adoration - and its beauty is well matched by the stunning peacock butterfly!
​

My art is all hand-drawn with pens and pencils, and then put together digitally - here's how I made it...

I'm very excited to introduce you to my new collection of four Butterflies & Flowers artworks with a Celtic art style...

I've been working on these for the last few weeks and have really enjoyed creating artworks that feel so much like sunshine and summer, with beautiful colours and sensuous swirls.

​I hope you love them too...

Enchanting Celtic owl art - art prints, homewares, T-shirts, accessories, tech-cases and more...

The beautiful owl is one of the oldest of the animals of the world in the Celtic tradition - a bird of wisdom with connections to the Otherworld... 

She is also associated with the 'old woman' or 'crone' aspect of the Triple Goddess figure of Celtic myth and legend and can be present with us in times of ending or darkness...

I created my Celtic Owl artwork digitally from pen drawings and ink paintings... here's what happened...

After a year like no other, a Christmas like no other... for many of us, Christmas plans aren't what we'd hoped for this year - but however you're celebrating, I wish you a happy festive period and hope you and your family can all enjoy yourselves in a special 2020 way!

Thank you so much for all your support this year - it means the world to me.

See you in 2021!

Stay safe...
