Hello again! After taking a little break, I did my first craft show of this year and it was also my first time out as ‘Espy Art’ rather than ‘Hannah Taylor Pet Portraits’ 
I adore these fairy lights, they really helped make my work stand out Usually my good friends Vicki (VHS Photography) and…

A doodle a day (I hope!)
As well as my usual designs that I am working on, it is my plan to share a different doodle every day I say doodles, they will be (usually) quick sketches or made up ideas, sometimes a whole pageful So, this is the first page: A scruffy chap with no name, who sprang to mind…
Out and about
If you saw my last post you’ll know I’ve been off on my holidays recently and had a jolly good time too After sorting through all the photos and getting my studio back up and running, I am feeling tired but happy Brighton is such a wonderful place with plenty to do and staying right…
Springtime
I always enjoy a walk in the woods & recently I have noticed an abundance of beautiful spring flowers that brighten up my day The sunshine through the leafy canopy gave an unusual light one day, so I took a few photos while I wandered The buttercup test knew I liked butter I feel so…
Taking control
I have so many thoughts buzzing around in my brain today, TOO many in fact! Whenever I struggle to keep up with my ideas, I find it helps to scribble everything out in a brainstorm. I have no problem in particular I am trying to solve, just a need to organise my own thoughts –…
I hope you had a lovely Easter, by now I assume all chocolate eggs have been eaten and Mr Bunny can now put his big feet up until next year Trying out a new way to post, let’s see if this will work in the future: ~ Click to zoom in ~ As you can…
Misty Morning
My walking companion was a little different today, it seems Little Diva allowed me to join her for a wander in the woods Wonky ears, listening out for her friends I took two cameras out with me, though she only let me use them if I promised not to ask her to pose, as this would…
On the trail
Are you getting in the spooky spirit? Halloween is fast approaching, I just hope our animal family are ready for the noisy fireworks that always echo around our town this time of year. Hmm speaking of my furry/feathery friends, I don’t think I have written much about my my little fluffy guinea piggy, Jack, how awful…
Adventure is out there!
Remember that time I disappeared for a week or so, and promised I’d tell you what I was up to? Well now is the time to share some photos and stories, enjoy! My adventure buddy: VHS Photography First stop on the journey was the New Forest, such a beautiful place! We were greeted by a…
Little September Showers
Hello again, oh look! It appears to be raining *stares out into the greyness beyond the window* I love the rain, as long as you have a nice big brolly & waterproof shoes for walking – there’s nothing nicer than the sound of rain pattering outside to make you feel relaxed Rain, rain, stay a…
Time to travel
Tomorrow morning I will be heading off on an adventure! I will be bringing back many photos as I am visiting landmarks and a wildlife park on my travels Until then, looky at these pretty engines and cars I spotted at the Barleylands show Beauty in car form I spy sweeties! I will aim to…
The sun is shining…time to blog!
No really, the weather is beautiful today and I have been out for a wander, but now I’m sat at the laptop with an urge to update you : ) Wiley and I heard, and perhaps saw, a lovely little woodpecker during our walk – it was making quite a racket, each knock echoing around…
Inspired
“Hello” I hope you have been well? So, new blog name, title image…thingy – what do you think? Thought it was time for a change as I am finally able to get things done after a time of coldy/achey/dizzy horridness. This seems to have passed, leaving me feeling much more active and needing to make up…
Rainy day…or was it?
Well, today turned out rather different to what I had planned… I loved visiting the Wildlife Heritage Foundation so much a while back, that when I saw they had an Open Day I was of course overjoyed! This was the sunshine during my last visit All morning I was checking the weather forecast, getting increasingly…
Smudges & Stars
Firstly, I have been getting back to my usual messy self, with pastelly fingers and brand new smudges on my well-worn apron. It’s great to have portraits to work on – they certainly keep me busy! Secondly, I have some fun things coming up over the next few months, that I can’t wait to tell…
Taking a break to bake some cakes
I have not been blogging much recently due to my sudden urge to start baking again… I love making cupcakes, but when I do, they sort of take over my life for a while…. I always plan to carefully decorate each one to make them look super special…. But every time, I get impatient and…
Medieval Merriment
I’m back! Did you miss me? 
I’m finally at my laptop again, indoors & out of the rain at last. Yesterday was spent sliding around in muddy wellies, exploring the Robin Hood country show, camera in hand. I had a wonderful time, lots of new portrait ideas after seeing the vast array of dogs,…
Books
Each time I take a break from working on new portraits, I have been studying the latest addition to my bookshelf – ‘A Cat’s Life!’ (Photographs by Jane Burton) Its a truly wonderful book & the first thing I loved was its size; proper big images for me to admire, certainly worth being weighed down…
