The luxury of art on your sofa. Snuggle up to a luxurious soft velvet fabric cushion. Filled with either a duck feather or poly padding inner, both of which are equally soft and plump. They come in two sizes and they’re perfect for adding a touch of elegance and style to your seating areas. The removable cover is machine washable, so there’s no extra maintenance needed.
The Soft Velvet cover can be machine washed at 30°c and left to dry flat or in the tumble drier. There shouldn’t be a need to iron, but if you do, turn the cover inside out and use medium heat. After every few washes, we recommend giving your cushions a brush to maintain the fluffy pile and keep them feeling soft and exuberant.

Sometimes a name or phrase sparks the idea for artwork. Did you know that a group of flamingos is called a flamboyance? The Flamboyant Flamingos had to be painted. The flamingo composition was developed from photographs taken during visits to Bristol Zoo and Feurteventura, so some of the flamingos have never met! -

This painting is a portrait of Nico the gorilla who lived at Longleat Safari Park. I completed this painting as a tribute after he died. Luckily on a visit to Longleat I had managed to get an awesome photograph of him. When you look at his face, it makes you wonder what is he thinking. I completed the painting of his face and added a frame later. -
For quite a while I knew I wanted to paint a group of ring tailed lemurs. One reason is that I just love them! The other reason is that a group of them is called a conspiracy!! I played around with different ideas in my head for quite a long time, not one of them making the grade. My hubby and I decided that a weeks break in Madeira was called for and we had a fabulous time wandering around the city of Funchal. We explored the city popping into little galleries and gift shops, (I came back with a rather nice fused glass bracelet) . In one lovely little gift shop sitting in the window was a canvas with a photograph of a kitten sitting inside a picture frame, light bulb moment!! The lemurs could be in the frame looking as though they would climb out of it! The beginning of my frames animal series. -
Everyone likes Meerkats! I have been lucky enough to have had close encounters with Meerkats. They are such characters and I had so many photographs to choose from. I was almost disappointed to hear that a group of Meerkats was merely a mob. There are so many more interesting animal group names. This was the second of my Framed Animals series and I enjoyed developing the composition, especially the photobomb!! If you look closely you can see a tiny caterpillar and a cinnamon moth on the frame. -
I have always been in love with tigers. My daughter and I visited Longleat safari park and were lucky enough to use their Bronze safari package (I can totally recommend it). The zebra print 4×4 takes you off road and took us so close to the tiger so I could get this photograph. Occasionally we were too close! We even had to move as one of the lions tried to bite the tyres on the vehicle! -
When a friend posts pictures of piglets on Facebook, they are so cute and all different colours, you just can’t resist asking to paint them! Once the piglets were running around outside with their mum, I picked a sunny day and took nearly 300 pictures. This has been the hardest composition to do to date, I had got to my sixth try before I was finally happy. Maybe, having too many photographs is not such an advantage.
