YELLOW ROSE~ To be honest since coming back from holiday I have been struggling with my anxiety. Today my Hubby bought me some flowers and there is one yellow rose! I love yellow roses! I have also been experimenting with some watercolour brush pens too which are lovely to use!
SEASIDE SCENE ~ This one went a bit wrong at the top so I used tissue paper to blur out it out and then added tree and fence type marks to make it into a scene! 🎨🖌️☀️✏️

Shower of leaves! Managed to do a sneaky painting last night! #watercolour #leaves #mentalhealth #mentalhealthmatters #mentalhealthawareness
GREENS - Playing and experimenting with greens and different mark making! #green #pattern #mark making #mentalhealth #watercolourpainting
Spot the yellow raindrops? Trying to get back to creativity again- It’s been a while it’s SO difficult to get back into again after a long break. #green #raindrops #teardrop #mentalhealth #mentalhealthmatters💚
Found this, this week! Love the style and this may have sparked some inspiration to do more like this! There’s a style in me somewhere to blossom! Just not found it yet!! #pen #flowers #leaves #MentalWellbeing
Haven’t had time to draw these beauties yet, so took a photo instead! #tulips #yellowtulips #mentalhealth #mentalhealthmatters #photo
Reds this morning! Found this one in a sketchbook! During psychosis I’m frightened of anything red, even a ladybird in the garden as in my mind at that time it signifies danger! Like on traffic lights you have to stop otherwise you’ll be in danger! #red #psychosis #mentalhealth
Having a declutter and found these paintings of HELE Bay in Devon. #scene #helebaybeach #watercolour #pencil #mentalhealthawareness
Added spring colours to my ink black and white #scribbles #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthmatters #watercolours #ink
Tried another colour palette, still loving the process of this style. #process #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthmatters #watercolours #greens
Really pleased with this one, loved doing the repetitive marks so calming and relaxing, may try a different colour palette! 🎨#watercolour #mentalhealth #repetitivemarksonpaper #calming #waxresist
Added Posca pens to the one were I added masking fluid with a cotton wool bud. I love the sparkle! #poscapens #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealth #watercolours #circles
Little mini studies in my tiny square sketchbook, loving the simplicity of these ones, may go larger with a couple of them. #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealth #watercolour #psychosis #poscapens
Eyes during psychosis appear a lot in my drawings during this time, I have the feeling that eyes are watching me and the pupil represents the soul! Wasn’t going to make this into an eye picture it just seemed to evolve. Trying new colour palettes too! #wayercolour #mentalhealth
More Raindrops and teardrops.. #watercolour #teardrops #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthmatters #mentalhealth
Had a try of including a yellow teardrop/raindrop in every piece of art work- thought that was a light bulb moment!? #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthmatters #watercolour #pencil #inktensepencils
