About Fortunes Fool

Fortunes Fool

dreams, myths and wishes

I paint little glimpses of wishes, dreams and myths and places I want to be
You might like to visit my blog ~ it's full of poetry and has some little stories
I don't ask a lot of money for small original hand-painted items as I would rather see them go out into the world here and there and wherever they like. Also making them is a pleasure, so they have already benefited me.
I love walking in woods and wild open spaces.
I live in Warwickshire with a tabby cat called Willow - she is named for the willow trees that stand by the River Avon.
I have been painting for sixty years and went to art college in Rugby and London. I lived in Cornwall for quite a long time.
My inspirations come from the landscapes of Cornwall, Warwickshire and Wales (my ethnic home) and from British Folklore.
I also like folk art from all over the world- especially their similarities to each other
I have also travelled in Morocco and India and so they show up sometimes too.
My favourite fantasy writers are Lewis Carroll, George McDonald, Tolkien, Neil Gaiman and Philip Pullman - George McDonald's Phantastes is a wonderful book.
My favourite poets are Shakespeare, Dylan Thomas and TS Eliot
All the world's a stage :) Have a lucky day!

The shop is new. There will lots more as time goes on! Especially after I have moved house!
