Buying Original Art, Prints, Cards etc.
Giclée Print
Giclée prints, high quality photographic reproductions with an archival life expectancy of up to 100 years, are available for some of the paintings. They are printed in small limited editions of between 10 and 75 on specialist acid free, fine art paper. Each one is signed, titled and numbered. Prints are gently rolled and posted in robust postal tubes. Mounted prints are available by visiting Maureen's studio.
Greeting Card
Many of the paintings and sketches are available as greeting cards. The cards are blank inside, come with an envelope and are wrapped in cellophane. The cards are handmade with a photographic image on the front of a folding card or printed, this is mentioned in the description.
Book
During the first Lockdown, with galleries closed and her art classes cancelled, Maureen was happy painting, gardening and having time to do those things she could not normally fit in. During the second Lockdown in Autumn 2020, which lasted 27 days, she made a sketch a day and turned it into a book.
When the third Lockdown came on January 2021 it was mid-winter and the nights were long. She again made the decision to do a sketch a day and post it on Instagram and Facebook. She never knew what she would draw at the beginning of the day so drew her inspiration from her now resumed classes online, news headlines and events happening around her. Her second book has 167 sketches.
Notebook
I have recently introduced notebooks to my range and I shall be increasing the designs in due course. The notebooks have a matt soft cover with the front design continuing over the spine. My details and a small image of the cover are printed on the back. Inside are 100 ruled pages (50 double sided sheets). They are ideal as small presents and can be carried easily in a handbag or kept at home to making notes.
Original Painting
The paintings are in oil on a linen canvas and the size includes the white floating frame. Prices exclude delivery costs. It is recommended that you visit Maureen's studio to view the artwork on a no obligation basis. To do this, please use the contact page stating the title of the painting you are interested in. A few paintings are in acrylics and this is mentioned in the individual description.

Living in Cambridge, I am always drawn to the view of King's College from the Backs. Although the building remain constant the light and vegetation change with the seasons and so I never paint two images alike.
Amazingly, this is the first time I have painted a sunrise and I really enjoyed painting the red sky instead of my usual dark blue. I painted the view in winter to include the silver trunks making the painting quite stark and cold, and added Autumn leaves for a bit of colour. I did leave out the choir boys walking from their school to the chapel though.
I also decided to leave out the millefleur that brings colour to my paintings - well are there many flowers on a windy day?
