Here are some pictures of my art over the last few years, with the newest first.
I love silver birch trees so much that I cannot stop painting them recently.
My latest piece is oil painted on five pieces of glass that are separated with a spacer and framed in a deep box frame. I entered this into the 2010 RA Summer exhibition but wasn't successful, although this wasn't unexpected due to the huge amount of applications each year and the severe lack of space available! It was a good experience though.
This is an oil on canvas, painted after my travels from a photo of Kaikoura, New Zealand, on a very moody day where the weather stopped us from going out to look for whales.
Birch trees drawn in pastel pencils (not sure of exact name) from my travels in NZ.
A collage I created using leaves, tissue paper and gold foil, last autumn.
Another collage, made with a base of tissue paper, painted over with white acrylic texture paste and then oil pastels used to highlight the ridges created.
This is an oil on canvas, birch trees again!
This is ink on canvas (i think, it might be oil but i'm pretty sure i did it in ink!) that now lives in Soggibottom cottage in Devon (link on the right hand side of the page). This was the kind of abstract work i did at University.
This was an oil on board, a self portrait...i'm not sure i like it anymore though! I was quite pleased with the background surface, built up in thin layers and the texture of the hair.

Going to put a link from Soggibottom to your page..... how can you hide such beautiful art. EVERY ONE SHOULD SEE IT :-)xxx
aww thank you, first post in such a long time, thought it might inspire me to paint more, especially after looking at your friend Caroline's beautiful blog!xxx
Everyone on our blog list is a gem :-) x x x
Hey Becca - you have nothing to worry about, your work is very good! If you are snowed in, it's a great incentive to get the paints out.....although I have been vegging in front of the tv rather than painting!
We came by to visit from Soggibottom. We have no artistic ability with our paws, and Mom says she can't draw at all. Your work is lovely, we hope you will continue to paint more.

I like them all, but I adore those first birch trees.

Becca I LOVE your birch trees - when I was a kid, we used to pass by a birch forest right on the shore of Lake Huron, one of the Great Lakes in my state. It always looked so magical. You've captured that feeling so well! I also love your self-portrait, you have amazing talent!
Thanks everyone, such lovely comments and will hopefully inspire me to paint more soon!!
Caroline, I can still walk to work in the snow so no time to paint unfortunately, hopefully after Xmas I will finish some of my others :) xx
Looking good :) I miss being creative Becka, I want to paint but I don't know what to paint! Any helpful tips?
Would like to see more soon, I haven't seen any of your work since Rorschach...
I just really love this piece. Perfect color, texture, form, and powerful.
