An original painting of the beauty of bluebells on characterful, 80-100 year old Welsh roof slate. 'Cymru' which means 'Wales' which is where we live.

I take commissions and can do this with your own text or with no text. This particular piece is in a shop in Wales, but I can make similar designs incorporating forget-me-nots, bluebells, daffodils, daisies or other pictures (see my shop). Each piece of slate is unique and will be a bit different, but all with the same attention to detail. Each piece, unless you request that you don't want it, will have a small hole drilled into the top to allow it to be hung. It is sprayed with a clear varnish to provide outdoor protection too.

After seeing this piece, a lady commisioned forget-me-nots on slate with the word 'Dad' as a special memory to her father who died when she was only small. It will be placed in a part of the garden specially made for him. Others buy my slates as house and welcome signs, anniversary gifts, and house-warming gifts. I can paint animals, flowers, wildlife, and aspects of nature on slate in a way that keeps the natural, unique shape and character of the slate.

Most of my slates come from a traditional Welsh cottage in a small village in Pembrokeshire. They come in a variety of sizes and shapes to meet your needs. This slate celebrates the abundance of beautiful wild flowers that grow in the woodlands of rural Wales.

Commissions usually take a few weeks which will be discussed privately.
