At the pool
All manner of shapes
can be seen at the pool
but she felt that hers
was rather too much
like a beach ball

Immaculate Housewife

Although her mother had never actually told her that the duty of a perfect wife was to keep a perfectly clean house she felt compelled to do all that her mother had done, as well as all the new things a girl was supposed to do in the nineties.

The Lazy Husband
Needlepoint Postcard
"Where could he be?
asleep up a tree?
all I ask, is that the lawns be mowed
and just to share a little of the load
I have a husband who has a tendancy to slip off for a lie-down at the drop of a hat! The luxury!
I am sure I wouldn't be so grey, and weathered if I could do that too!!....but I just feel too quilty

Midnight Garden
Needlepoint Postcard
Rich hot colour and big heavy dahlia heads,
Growing up with Daisy and Lobelia.
When I can’t sleep at night I think about my garden at the bach. I name all the plants I can think of, and plan what I am going to plant next. So much more fun than counting sheep

Tall Poppies
Needlepoint Postcard
While there is an obvious connotation with this title with this title, I’ve gone with a literal illustration. The black and white border is something that has popped up from when I first began painting (too many years ago to remember) - an old recurrent theme!

Welcome to the World
Needlepoint Postcard
This is the long promised "new baby" piece. I tried all sorts of images for this subject - including multi-armed and eyed mother figure juggling home, work and family; wise toys and storks etc. However, I came back to wanting to wish the new baby all the good things, the best ideas, fun, exuberance and curiosity the world has to give.
