U.S customers, my miniature paintings are exempt from tariffs, so the postage remains much the same!

If ReformUK get into government next time then we can kiss goodbye to:

Paid holidays

Sick pay

Safer working conditions

Human Rights

Workers Rights

Unions

NHS & healthcare

Social care

Minimum wage

Among many other things.

Every person who knows a Reformer should have the conversation!.

It's #smallbusinesssaturday friends! Say no to faceless corporate crap and say yes to the shops in your community. As for me, I'm heading over to @moonpalacebooks.bsky.social to pick up my order and probably buy more stuff. Books are better when bought at independent bookstores!

Sun low but it looks OK cos clouds rolling in.

I think that this whimsical rabbit painting would make a beautiful gift for someone who likes to buy original art. Its small size makes it perfect for gifting and keeps it affordable.

(Heads up- this beauty is in my SALE this week)
Framed coastal seascape painting. Turquoise and teal water sparkles under a bright blue sky with wispy clouds. Gentle waves lap a light beige sandy beach. Darker rocks are visible in the lower right corner. The artwork evokes a tranquil beach scene.
