  • This original painting is off to its new home in the US, it was a joy to paint for a lovely client and features many favourite little simple pleasures. #artcommission #illustrationart #gouachepainting #holbeingouache #theartofslowliving #slowlived #styleonmytable #aquietstyle #fosterthoughtfulness #vscobeau #asimplestill #gemmakoomen
  • One in the Sea .. I loved illustrating the thoughtfully chosen quotes in the Wild Swimming zine @theroundwindow and I collaborated on this summer, particularly this one: "I dissolved in the sea, became white sails and flying spray, became beauty and rhythm, became moonlight and the ship and the high dim-starred sky! I belonged without past or future, within peace and unity and a wild joy, within something greater than my own life, or the life of Man, to Life itself! And several other times in my life, when I was swimming far out, or lying alone on a beach, I have had the same experience, became the sun, the hot sand, green seaweed anchored to a rock, swaying in the tide" Eugene O'Neill. #thelittlewildswimmingbook #oneinthesea #wildswimming #saltwatertherapy #illo #gemmakoomen #illustrationnow #fosterthoughtfulness #asimplestill #theartofslowliving
  • I'm very happy to have my cards now for sale in the lovely @boutiquelesfleurs Paris. I spent a lot of time making sure my cards are as eco friendly as possible, they are printed in the UK using printers committed to high environmental standards, use 100% recycled paper and are protected with biodegradable packaging 🌿💚 #greetingcards #asimplestill #slowlived #aquietstyle #onmydesk #styleonmytable #illo #makersmovement #madeintheuk #gemmakoomen #boutiquelesfleurs
  • Little lily of the valley .. I've been feeling a little under the weather and out of sorts with a new orthodontic treatment due to impacted wisdom teeth so I'm cheering myself up with these colours, flower from a tiny painting a while back.. #illo #dsfloral #lilyofthevalley #myfloraldays #seekthesimplicity #botanicalpickmeup #makersmovement #fosterthoughtfulness #asimplestill #aquietstyle

  • I'm remembering how good it is to paint after such a long summer break and how much it sorts my head out, here's a little portrait of my four year old using up the left over paint in my palette. I feel like I might make some more tiny paintings to get back into things, they are good for loosening up and playing with ideas. #gouachepainting #holbeinacryla #portrait #illustratedcharacter #illustrationforchildren #kidlitart #illo #illustrationart #asimplestill #createcultivate #maketimeforart
  • First morning of big school today for our four year old.. I'm nervous and excited for her, sad to miss her little presence at home and also relieved for a bit more working time as it's been a real juggle these past 12 months. My own first experiences at school were really awful so I'm feeling grateful that she has a very caring small school to go to. #backtoschool2017 #illo #firstdayofschool #gouachepainting #asimplestill #fosterthoughtfulness #creativesoul #makersmovement #kidlitart #illustrationnow
  • A while back the lovely @theroundwindow asked me if I would like to collaborate on a small zine about wild swimming that she would take to @sisterhood_camp. Swimming outdoors in nature is one of my greatest pleasures of the summer and I really enjoyed making all the illustrations for this zine, particularly the tiny storm kettle, flag irises, OS maps and little swimming ladies! I've been enjoying seeing this little book pop up over the Internet! If anyone is interested in buying a copy they are in the shop 💛🏊🏽#thelittlewildswimmingbook #wildswimming #illustrationnow #illo #createcultivate #theartofslowliving #fosterthoughtfulness #asimplestill
