Once upon a time there was a foolish woman who at sat her kitchen table, late into the evening, 7 days a week, painting pebbles, wooden hearts and destroying her neck. She massages it all the time and keeps on going. Because that's what we do isn't it. #womensart #samcannonart

Thank you so much for saying that. My son worked so hard to make it. I've worked so hard to try and put everything on it. So much more to add and lots of little tweaks too!

It's national badger day today. If you've been lucky enough to see one (alive), you'll know how amazing they are. I have a few times, including a cub this year. Treasure them 🦡❤️

Those we love don't go away they walk beside us every day. 4 original watercolour paintings that are mounted with these lovely white double mounts and framed. And this week for the first time, everything has gone onto the new samcannonart place. www.samcannonart.com

This week - painting 8x12” slates. Very different technique and a fun change.

What I’ve been up to this week. My neck and shoulders are shot! Tiny brushes, hours and hours of work. Hope you like them! Available as soon as my new samcannonart place goes live!

You're going to need to click on the last one to see it all, but the others are all cropped versions of bigger paintings. And the theme today - silver birch trees. So beautiful and I come back to them time and again ❤️

A bit of badger love today. Because they are beautiful. They are precious. They need all the help they can get from us whilst they continue to be persecuted. Our own, very beautiful, stripey bears.

Isn't that the truth. It makes my heart sink every time I see it. Especially when someone doesn't say they created something with AI. Why do they do that. Just say it!!!

Your challenge today. Can you watch it through to the end…..

samcannonart @samcannonart.bsky.social · 08/09/2026

All of these are in preparation for that big day in December. I'm just finishing off my new 'samcannonart' place. Terrified about it honestly. But these will all be on there.

I don't like autumn as much as like Spring. But the colours - the colours I love. I could have posted 30 pictures with the autumnal colours.

Picture one I painted a few weeks ago. At the weekend I got to add a coule of extra details. Picture two I painted a couple of years ago. And last week added some glistening holly all around the edge. I hope you like them.

A new painting with pictish symbols. And the second slide shows the last time I did paintings with them back in 2022 with the foxes.

A bit of hare love today. I love these crazy, sometimes beautiful, sometimes scary creatures. With their very unique style of parenting!!

Just put my brush down. With words from The Secret Garden - Frances Hodgson Burnett Not what I was expecting to paint this week. I found the sketch of the tree from over a year ago when tidying up.

Brand new work. With words by John Muir And when it feels like autumn outside, it comes out in my work. I really hope you like it. The original, painted in watercolours, shines all over from the Schmincke Aqua Bronze paint that I used for leaves and ferns. #womensart

A view from the woods. With a sleeping fox curled up in the base of a tree. And in the distance, a single tree with a stag beneath, a large setting sun behind it.
And words by John Muir = Going to the woods is going home.

Two new paintings. One an updated version of an old painting. The other, my not entirely successful attempt at capturing ethereal looking hares. First go though so more to practice :-)

2 hares, a sun and words by Isadora Duncan

Beautiful cosmos - hanging on in there in the garden. New prints. New calendars all ready to go. And updated paintings with damselflies. Have a lovely weekend.

Lots of cosmos - currently doing its best in my garden.

3 updated paintings. Of this set of 4, I've one left to do.

Not expensive but mine is mixed with water so not good for your use. Have you tried gold leaf. Messy but not too hard to use! I love bronze leaf too!

samcannonart @samcannonart.bsky.social · 01/08/2026

In case you’d like to know what I use for my gold paint. It’s amazing ❤️

And this was me painting it yesterday- leaves, leaves and more leaves!

A close up and the full thing. A new idea for a Christmas Card. This is painted in watercolours but also 'no bleed white' gouache for the snowy bits. If you saw the work in progress pic at the weekend, you'll see I had some stuff to sort out. But I love it now. Especially the hog.
