Deborah An original Duck painting by Charron Pugsley-Hill

Description

An original duck painting from the book Cheeps,Squeaks,Barks and Croaks of Wisdom.

Deborah Was standing looking for her friend Kimberley to come from the pond. She was feeling a bit low as she hadn’t got the mark she wanted in her quacking exam. Surrounded as she was by the beauty of flowers in the field she realised that really it didn’t matter. Oh well she said to herself I can do it again if its that important. Next time I will practice more and be better.

The book was created  for anyone and everyone who needs a little lightness and lots of colour in their life. It is for parents, grandparents, and any caring adult to read with children to talk about life’s little messages and to learn a little about our beautiful nature. This book is a gentle, happy place full of my paintings of British animals and birds with their unique characters and messages of life. It is inspired by my work as a nature conservationist, artist, and a Solution Focused Hypnotherapist. I have included a few facts about each creature as I love gentle learning and looking at the nature around us, and I have, over many years, encouraged others to do the same. I hope these little messages of life will encourage you to find things that make you and others feel good. I also hope they will make you smile just a little or even a lot.

I created this book after the death of my beloved dog Poppy which meant in my grief I could not paint my usual large paintings. I just felt like painting smaller and animals which I hadn’t done for many years. This book is the result of that work. The wisdom messages come from my work as a Solution Focused Hypnotherapist where we support clients to look for the positives in life and to take the small steps that they can to help them to feel better. I offer this therapy alongside my work as an artist.

I am intending to create a series of these books the next of which will be about garden wildlife and the small things we can do to help it in our own gardens.

Each original painting is 40 x 30 x 4cm in size and will include post to the UK.  For elsewhere please contact me for a quote.
