  • Hello Love .. my valentines greeting, a little late due to snail delivery 🐌🧡🐌 but love is for giving and forgiving all days anyway #slowtravel #happyvalentines #hellolove #snaillove #signsofspring #loveisontheground #holbeingouache #illo #illustrationnow #asecondofwhimsey #maketimeforart #gemmakoomen
  • Spring Rain .. I’m really excited about the next season, literally the signs of spring that are emerging out of the cold winter ground and figuratively for the next season in my business - my tictail shop is now closed and all orders will be posted out over the next two days. Thank you so much as always for all the orders, kind words and patience while I build the new shop- your support means so much to me 🧡#fosterthoughtfulness #slowlived #illo #illustrationnow #gouachepainting #holbeingouache #signsofspring #mytinyeden #mytinygarden #gemmakoomen
  • A collection of favourite things .. I got so happy using this colour palette, it’s even more muted than my usual very muted colour palette 🙃 but feels soft and peaceful. Using my paper offcuts is such a good way for me to play on the paper, little ideas sparking bigger ideas as I go. #tinyart #illustrationnow #illo #fosterthoughtfulness #onmydesk #artworkinprogress #gemmakoomen #styleonmytable #maketimeforart
  • Snow Geese print and hanger set back in stock .. My shop is closing tomorrow evening for the last time until it re-emerges in some new form when I’ve decided what that will best be. I’ve restocked the shop of all the prints and as many print and hanger sets as I could. I’ve appreciated having a tictail shop, and tho it’s a little sad that they are closing down their whole market place, moving into a new platform will give me a thorough rethink of my organisation, prices and how I run my shop too. So if you want to get anything please do soon. I had so many messages throughout January when my shop was closed and don’t want anyone to feel disappointed at not being able to get anything for a little while🧡 #tictailstore #snowgeese #illustrationnow #fosterthoughtfulness #slowlived #aquietstyle #gemmakoomen #artprint
  • Hello February.. I’m really enjoying having my own calendar to plan in this year, organisation is one of my little areas of personal challenge so anything that makes it a more joyful experience helps ✨ #2019calendar #onmydesk #aquietstyle #stationerylover #asimplestill #slowlived #fosterthoughtfulness #gemmakoomen
  • Footprints in the snow .. inspired by our walks in the frosty fields around the farm where we live #snowyvalentine #gouacheillustration #illustrationdaily #holbeinacrylagouache #holbeingouache #illo #illustrationnow #gemmakoomen
  • Work in progress.. I’m so happy to get back to my desk and carve out time for some new work. I really like having multiple paintings on the go and when I mix a colour I can switch between them using the same colour. Moving in this way helps to take me out of my head and thinking too much, and that seems to keep the inner critic at bay. This is what I feel like is the awkward hair cut stage of my paintings- they are not quite right, they can make me inwardly cringe a little but I know that they are going to end up the way I want eventually. At this stage I’ll often paint things in and out until they feel right. Art making is so intuitive. I think that’s what I love about it, only I can know when a painting is finished. I love this unique relationship that exists between me and the painting. #maketimeforart #carveouttimeforart #gouacheillustration #illustrationdaily #holbeinacrylagouache #holbeingouache #onmydesk #artworkinprogress
  • Set your intentions .. I haven’t actually set any strong intentions for 2019 yet. I’ve really been enjoying a slow relaxing start to the year! I can feel some aspirations brewing tho.. #illustrationdaily #gouacheillustration #holbeingouache #holbeinacrylagouache #illo #illustrationnow #asimplestill #aquietstyle #slowlived #slowandsimpledays #gemmakoomen
