Did you know I used to update my blog fairly regularly? It was fun, even though I knew nobody was actually reading it and I did it for the love of writing. Then, social media became a thing and I sadly neglected it. It feels a little alien to be typing something without a character…
Finally moved my old blog(s) over to this website, took me a while but if I’d realised how easy it was, I would have done it years ago…
Mid-February update
Hopefully I’m not the only one who is in that strange ‘in-between’ mood, of feeling not quite ready to admit Christmas is over but ready to move forward and face a new year? This may only be the first day, but already I feel rather well prepared, organised and excited about 2016. Got my new, empty diary all…
My favourite month of the year has finally arrived, feeling so happy right now & can’t wait to start decorating my house. To celebrate, I have decided to treat my blog to a revamp. I hope you like this change, here’s to many more posts, portraits & updates in the future. Take care x
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…
I’ve chosen to move everything over to a new home, so all that was once ‘hannah-taylor-pet-portraits.com’ related is now part of ‘Espy Art’. Click here to visit my new blog, thank you 🙂
So, it’s finally time for an exciting change I’ve been considering for quite a while… Goodbye old routine, hello fresh start! From now on, everything creative I share online, and all my business/art commission type things, will be part of ‘Espy Art’ – finally it will all be neat and organised! This includes my Twitter,…
So, as you may know, I’ve been running two blogs, one for each of my websites, for quite a while now. Recently though, I had a brain wave – why not combine them into one and bring everything together? Ok, it wasn’t exactly an earth-shattering idea, but it just felt right. After all, no matter…
My daily photo project went well, better than I could have hoped really. OK, so I didn’t quite manage a whole year of daily photos…*but* I did learn a lot and this little break has helped me refocus. The photos I did take, one for every day of this year until May 5th, can be…
I did it, I actually put up my first photo of 2014! You can see it by following this link: Flickr Thank you, take care x
I just re-discovered my Flickr account, it has been sat there for 4 years, all empty and lonely – poor thing! So, I guess I’d better learn how to use the site and put some photos up eh? Thinking of starting a year-long project, where I can post new things I discover, create and capture….
Hello there After hours of editing, I can finally share Espy Art’s new look, I do hope you like it: New Website! I’ve chosen to keep everything clean and simple, with a little artistic touch here and there – with more exciting things on their way soon! The old design was a little fiddly to…
I realise that things have been pretty quiet on this blog lately. Truth is, I just haven’t been on many adventures, if any, and as a result have little to share with you. I could post pictures of the meals I eat, the view of the street from my studio window or tell you about…
My dog is quite the poser, which is handy as I love to take photos of my handsome boy. You can see how this sketch built up, starting with a pale study and moving through darker shades until I had picked out his features nicely. This really is a quick study, I used a photo for…
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…
Hi all, here’s a little update for you For the next few days I will be taking a break from my art, to relax on the beach with an ice cream and take plenty of photos I think this time away is going to be good for me – new surroundings to inspire my art…
As you know, I have a passion for animals – I love to paint and draw them, both as commissions and for myself every spare moment I have always had a rather creative mind, my rooms are filled with sketches and doodles that have been created since I was first able to pick up a…
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…
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 –…
