Would you believe me if I said Blooming Lovely was inspired by a chocolate Labrador called Muffin?
Every time I see Muffin (who wears a very fetching lilac collar) in the park when we’re walking our dog Wilson, I notice how lovely the lilac and chocolate brown colour combination is. So I sat down to draw with my sepia ink and lilac watercolours and started painting and playing. Before long, I had pages and pages of floral watercolour paintings to send to Moda.
Blooming Lovely is filled with fresh, pretty and painterly florals, and to say thank you for the inspiration, I painted little Muffin the dog for the selvedge! - Janet
