About Plant & Petal

I search for nature wherever I go. Gardens, markets, flower shows, and nurseries, I surround myself with a cultivated nature now.

The cosy time has arrived. I bought a big bouquet of Ilex berries at #columbiaroadflowermarket this morning and painted my nails fir tree green. Let the merriest and cosiest time of year begin. . . . #watercolourillustration #illustrations #illustrationartists #Watercolourpainting #cute #cutebabyanimals #handpainted #christmasiscoming #christmascards #foxesofinstagram #miceofinstagram #characterdesign #picturebookart #kidlitillustration #painting #drawing #sundaymotivation #lazyafternoon #december #winter #foxes #dailydoseofwhimsy #happyart #heartwarming #ilexberries #floralflatlay #botanicaldreamers Just two cosy friends on an #october afternoon! . . #watercolourpainting #watercolours #illustratorsofintagram #illustrationartists #instaartist #artistsofinstagram #foxesofinstagram #foxes #dailydoseofwhimsy #instafox #cuteart #picturebookart #whimsical #instaartist #happy #canadianart #instacreative #makersmovement #madetocreate #creativelifehappylife #createeveryday #kidlitillustration #storytime #storytelling #picturebook #characterdesign #illustrationartists The kitten's dream . . . #watercolourpainting #watercolours #illustratorsofintagram #illustrationartists #instaartist #artistsofinstagram #kittensofinstagram #cuteart #dailydoseofwhimsy #catsofinstagram #goldfish #picturebookart #whimsical #instaartist #happy #canadianart #instacreative #makersmovement #madetocreate #creativelifehappylife #createeveryday #kidlitillustration #storytime #storytelling #picturebook #characterdesign #illustrationartists #kitten #ukillustrator Trying to be more playful with my #illustration and delve into storytelling more. I probably should have made the kitten a bit bigger, but then again she would probably be envisioning the fish way bigger than it is! Maybe that's the story- she's in a catnap dream. :) #workinprogress . . . #watercolourpainting #watercolours #illustratorsofintagram #illustrationartists #instaartist #artistsofinstagram #kittensofinstagram #cuteart #dailydoseofwhimsy #catsofinstagram #goldfish #picturebookart #whimsical #instaartist #happy #canadianart #instacreative #makersmovement #madetocreate #creativelifehappylife #createeveryday #kidlitillustration #storytime #storytelling #picturebook #characterdesign #illustrationartists
Thought Id join in on #folktaleweek2018 with my #swanmaiden. Love the idea of a whole week devoted to one of my favourite topics. . . . #watercolourillustration #illustrationartists #fairytale #folktale #folktaleweek #swanprincess #Watercolourpainting #gouache #alliseeispretty #whimsical #illustrations #picturebookart #fantasy #magic #moon #drawing #folklore #fairy #paintingsofinstagram #paintingoftheday I love the seasons, especially Autumn and Spring. There's something life affirming about the feeling of transition, the cycles of time. And with these beautiful crisp days we've been having, what's not to love? Happy October, everyone! . . . . . . #watercolourpainting #watercolours #illustratorsofintagram #illustrationartists #instaartist #artistsofinstagram #foxessofinstagram #botanicaldreamer #dailydoseofwhimsy #foxes #floralflatlay #picturebookart #whimsical #instaartist #happy #canadianart #instacreative #makersmovement #madetocreate #creativelifehappylife #createeveryday #kidlitillustration #storytime #storytelling #picturebook #lovetheseasons #autumn #october Happy #october1st!

The weird thing is, usually when I’m down, it coincides with this outpouring of creativity and everything actually turns out the way I imagined it. But this time it's this preemptive grief over the gradual loss of my grandmother to Alzheimer's. She’s still here, but she’s not. So, it’s this slow, nostalgic, guilty grief. Like most grief - I assume - it touches everything. It’s like bathing in a lake, but that initial shock when you first dunked your head under the waves never happened. Instead, I just woke up in these cool, still waters, unsure of how or when I dove in...when do you really begin grieving someone with this disease? .... But my grandmother has always loved my painting. So, today I painted, and I do feel like I’ve come up the surface a little bit. I'm currently working on setting up a fundraising campaign for Alzheimer's Research, including some art sales, so keep an eye on my page for that if this disease has affected you, too. . . . #watercolourpainting #watercolours #illustration #illustratorsofintagram #illustrationartists #instaartist #artistsofinstagram #harvestmouse #cuteart #dailydoseofwhimsy #botanicalart #miceofinstagram #picturebookart #whimsical #cute #instaartist #happy #canadianart #instacreative #makersmovement #madetocreate #creativelifehappylife #createeveryday #kidlitillustration #findingthejoyineveryday #alzheimers #storytelling
