25.01.2022 Snippety watercolour paintings and prints will be available to buy on Saturday <3

24.01.2022 My brain hurts! Petioles, inflorescence, dehiscent, drupes & apices. It’s a whole new world studying horticulture. Since I graduated homeschooling last year, I’ve meandered around with what to move forward into. I started Cert 3 at Tafe just when I needed some focus & structure in July. I’ve been on prac in the gardening world for 30 years. Now I’m getting my teeth into the theory and it’s all interesting. My agronomist hubby & I have some romantic conversations about weeds..., calibration, nozzles, pumps & foot valves Keen to put things into place from the ground up in a new garden design here to show you can combine beautiful + robust when it’s dry. You don’t need to actually ‘reinvent’ yourself. Sometimes it’s just the right time to continue to deepen and broaden your foundation. Step into a new season! It’s never too late to learn! #reinventyourself #flowerfarmer #tafestudent See more

Pop up stall shared with Ravensbourne sourdough extraordinaire The Woods Ravensbourne Thankful for helpers with the rather rushed harvest! This weather has been crazy!

15.01.2022 Since it might be awhile until we can venture overseas, memories are cherished even more aren't they?! This was such a wonderful opportunity and I am very grateful we could travel to Europe when we did. Flowers can make your dreams come true!

14.01.2022 Hooray for Instagram as a wonderful way to connect with new friends Welcome to those who’ve recently started following my flowery journey. To celebrate the 1000 milestone I’d like to do a giveaway! The ruffly fluffy pink poppies have finished blooming and I’ve been collecting seeds. It’ll be a lucky dip to see what flowers when you plant them, but I know they’ll be pretty Comment below with an inspiring quote about gardening to encourage us all while we wait for rain I’ll pick five winners and send a little watercolour poppy print too

14.01.2022 The garden is ka-blooming!!!

14.01.2022 They say blue is a calming colour. A little flowery therapy for my own heart this morning as I took a deep breath, slowed right down and made time to create this pretty snippety gift for a friend who just became a grandmother...to a precious baby boy. Bluebells, freesias, sprigs from a single May bush, which is quite different to regular May, a little cheery turnip weed or two and some nigella with QA Lace and photinia buds. I hope it cheers your heart too

08.01.2022 Travel sketching Have you always wanted to capture your memories in quick little sketches while you travel ? The trick is making time to jot down what you notice as you go. While you wait to be able to go overseas, why not make the most of an opportunity to start learning how? Brisbane artist, Dianne Kelly has taken art tours through Europe and her students have wonderful sketchbooks full of little vignettes that bring back treasured memories. Come and explore the backroads... of Ravensbourne and learn the art of sketching outside in the fresh air. Di has a knack of helping you narrow down your vision so you dont feel overwhelmed trying to draw everything at once. We have organised a wonderful day to wander and then enjoy lunch in the garden. All materials supplied, including a special sketchbook to continue on your journey. Let us know if you are interested in this specific workshop, planned for Saturday, October 31. See more

07.01.2022 Good things take time. Ive had some big dreams for the garden for a long time. Now my son has his own earthmoving business, he can make ideas come to life. What dreams would you like to unearth?

07.01.2022 I think Im done Ta da! Pineapple Lilies So big + detail! Whatwasithinking? These amazing flowers were picked from a nearby property more than a month ago.... They got more curvy and more interesting as the weeks went by, which is just as well, because its taken this long to settle and sit down on the inside to focus on art! #slowflowers #watercolourflowers #localflowers #seasonalflowers @ Ravensbourne, Queensland, Australia See more

07.01.2022 Do you ever wish someone would give you permission to r e l a x ? I hereby invite you to step into my garden here in Ravensbourne and make time to stop & smell the roses. Or sweet peas Opening the garden up to start holding workshops is kind of scary. Its not perfect. Its all a work in progress and Im no art expert. But i love encouraging others to slow down and explore the joy of being creative. Its not about the finished painting, its about the experience of making... time to really look at what you see and enjoy playing with colour! There are so many things to notice here in spring that make my fingers twitch to sketch. Would you like to join us? The poppies are going crazy, the pink lavender, the green Irish Bells and the sweet peas. We might even draw the chooks! Brisbane art teacher @diannekellyart will be the tutor and Ill be hosting. Bring a friend and come on out for a deep breath of country air. All art materials will be provided, including your own sketchbook. Ill send you home with pink ruffly poppy seeds too Cost is $200 DM me if youre interested Dates are listed on my new website www.countrygardensnippets.com.au #highcountryhamlets #slowliving #floralwatercolour

04.01.2022 Flowers don't have to be complicated. A big white jug and some beautiful branches with some lovely additions from my blossoming little flower farm patch <3 I love this shady tree in our garden, growing into something majestic and pretty. It's an honor to supply Emeraude with fresh, local, seasonal flowers each week when I can. Thank you for your kindness and gracious encouragement Amanda. I appreciate your support so much as I find my feet in this new season.

04.01.2022 Shout out to a local business https://www.facebook.com/PhotoProToowoomba/ who goes the extra mile with attention to detail and an eye for colour. Kerwin at Phot...opro in Toowoomba has been such an encouragement as I navigate this creative journey as an artist. Kerwin does the most beautiful work with fine art prints from my original watercolour paintings. I am thrilled to bits that he’s displaying a large framed giclee print of my ‘Creamy Magnolia’ in store! There’s a mind boggling lot of options for digital prints online. Who knows what the quality is like? I like talking it over with a real person. A local person I can call in to see and show my work to and discuss possibilities with. Kerwin is an expert who really understands the process. Highly recommend his business And if you’re interested in a print of the beautiful magnolia, let me know and we’ll organise it See more
