About Me:
My name is Scot. I’ve been a professional artist since the mid 90’s. I was born in England and at the tender age of one I emigrated with my family to Australia. This was the first of a series of moves which included time spent living in Indonesia, New Zealand, the US and Switzerland. I now live in the Peak District in Derbyshire where we run a small family (My mother is an artist too) business ‘The Barnstudio', www.Barnstudio.com. We produce fine art prints, greeting cards etc in a variety of themes including; the English landscape, animals, figures and fantasy. I’m driven to be creative and I love to paint. In particular I enjoy painting fantasy- fairies, mermaids, castles etc. It allows me to be more creative with design, colour and settings.
I’ve had difficulty finding a platform for my fairy/fantasy art and I hope to use my blog here to let others see my creations - I enjoy painting them and would like others to see them too.

The seed of this painting began about six months ago as a loose background. I didn't have any ideas for completing a picture so I pinned the sketch to my wall. I recently started playing with names/titles and came up with 'Moon Dance'. The dancing moon girl then evolved from the title. Original Painting Details Size - approx 16in x 13in, 41cm x 33cm 'Moon Dance' can also be seen on Redbubble

Happy, Frosty New Year I painted her wings and clothing to match the Hawthorn berry and flower colouring. The white flowers on her top are the five pettled Hawthorn blossoms.

I started this painting with the intention of calling it "Rose and Thorn" but as she doesn't look all that menacing I settled on just "Rose" instead . Anyways beware of prickly women bearing flowers. Painting Details

There's not much difference compared to the last sample but this is the completed watercolour including the painted leaves. It took me most of the day to paint the border. After the first three or four leaves it bacame tiring and repetitve but worth it as I think that the border does improve the picture. I slightly altered the eyes too. She was a little cross eyed.

Thank you Scot :) Even though this is the Summer 09 issue, you haven't seen it yet because it just came out!!! It was extremely late in being put out this quarter but it was well worth the wait as the whole issue is wonderful as usual. Susan Schroder |
