Watercolour Art by Louise

Below are some of the fruits of my creative labor, born from countless cups of tea and early mornings! I love painting birds, animals and flowers but recently I’ve pushed past my bubble of ease and familiarity and I’ve started painting portraits and little landscape vignettes. So much fun to paint!
