About Me

My photo
Hi, My name is Irene Owens. My greatest passion in life is Art. I love drawing portraits, painting whimsical pictures and illustrating for children. I also collect children's books and hope to one day get one of my own picture books published. I have a shop on Etsy where I sell my prints, hand painted pendants and mirrors. In this blog you will find artists that inspire me, brilliant handmade creations and my own art. I hope you enjoy my posts.

Enchanted Garden

Here's a few illustrations from my Enchanted Garden series. I've actualy written and illustrated a whole book but it was rejected by the publishers I've sent it too. So now I have decided to at least sell these paintings as prints. It's a shame to keep them hidden, I really like them. Hope you do too :)

Perfect illustrations for children, in my humble opinion. Warm, light, with lots of heart. Adorable and sweet.
