So I've been asked a few times if I could create a rainbow coloured version of my "Fiery Phoenix" painting, well I finally did it!
The phoenix bird has such a strong and beautiful meaning of rebirth and rainbow feathers make it even more special.
If I ever get the time, I would love to paint a new rainbow phoenix from scratch! but for now I added fresh colours to the orange/light phoenix painting in Photoshop.
I played around with a few different colour ways - one of them has a red head and rainbow wings - but this is my favourite so far. The pretty pastel shades are completely different from my usual work.
Stickers of this colourful rebirth birdy are already available here
A private commission of a floral bouquet design completed early 2022. The three featured flowers are aster, freesia and elderflower. It was inspired by and influenced by lovely old vintage book illustrations. Each flower had a special meaning to the client.
This was quite the technical challenge to do! At the time I was unsure about how to approach such an intricate design, and considered it would be best to draw and paint each flower separately, then later reassemble into a bouquet digitally. If I were to do this again, I would dive in and draw it all as one piece.
I doodled some spoopy pumpkins recently and here's one I painted for a bit of practice and fun. Happy Hallowe'en, and a happy a blessed Samhain :)
I now have my very own shop online at amyholliday.co.uk!
Having my own space for online selling has been something I’ve dreamed about for years. It feels so nice to finally have it set up and filled with lots of lovely items.
My shop is still open on Etsy, and I will continue to add to it, however it will no longer be linked to this website. My own “official” shop will have lower prices and sometimes exclusive items for sale.
I offer high quality signed prints of my work, signed books I’ve illustrated, keyrings & charms, stickers, jewellery and other goodies, with a focus on making products that are planet-friendly: made from recycled materials, sourced as local as possible, packed in 100% recyclable packaging.
It is also a huge pleasure to be able to include a charity donation from the sale of some items. (This will be done with the help of Work for Good.)
A little collection of garden friends (and maybe some foes). Part of a body of artwork created for The Potting Shed" puzzle, for the lovely Blooms Puzzles.
