My Dad was diagnosed with cancer just over a year ago.
Unable to spend much time on artwork, I would grab a few hours here & there, between hospital trips.
Focussing on light, colour & texture helped me to cope & continues to be a comfort, following Dad’s passing.
I am grateful to have this.

I have been absent due to family bereavement. My Dad passed away 2 weeks ago. I am taking a break to navigate a new emotional landscape which is proving very difficult.

I leave you with my latest soft pastel work, ‘Flower of The Deep’.

Thankyou for your kind comment Eva. Yes, it’s very fiddly because I am using soft pastels, which are quite chunky, to do detail work. I also don’t have much time each day to actually work either, which is slowing progress but hopefully will get finished this week.

As part of #100daysprojectscotland I'm making artists' books and photobooks of my project on trees. This is my latest where I cut the top photograph to show sections of the photo underneath. A sort of 3D effect - hopefully. You can see more of it here >>> www.instagram.com/shonagrant99...

Sketching in Northumberland this week at the coast and also along Haidrians wall. Making the most of the good weather, quick studies can lead to more developed work in the studio.

"I love the directness and accessibility of pastels and they are fast becoming my main medium. Painting anything with a pulse - mainly people, but also animals, and birds - has been my passion from early childhood."
