Paintings (oil and acrylic) and homemade jewellery!

Hello!

I'm Kat. I'm a Yorkshire lass but I live in Gloucester, with my husband Ben. We enjoy countryside walks, dancing the Tango, and good food. I love to paint and to make jewellery - I hope you like it!

Many people ask me what the main difference is between oil and acrylic painting. Well, there are many differences (price; drying time; paintbrush style; mixing method to name just a few!), but I'd like to mention the difference in how both types of paint make me feel. To me, painting with acrylics feels like running through meadows; jumping and spinning; somersaulting - it's exciting, bold, and fast-paced. Painting with oils feels like sitting in a bath with scented candles and fantastic smooth music. Or that specific and unique pleasure you get when you've just eaten a delicious pub meal with good friends and then you begin to eat a Sticky Toffee Pudding for dessert - warm, sweet, the perfect texture - a full and relaxed contentedness. Or the two could be compared to the difference between red and white wine: acrylic painting, like white wine, is cool, lively and refreshing; while oil painting, like red wine, is relaxing, deep and flavourful.

Hope you like my jewellery and my paintings!
