Shop The April Showers Collection
Welcome to my Weather Themed Art Collection
I wanted my April Showers watercolour collection to transport you into a cosy blanket while watching rain pour down your window. Or maybe give you that same sense of excitement I feel when I spot a rainbow, it feels so magical. Which is why I used so much gold and silver ink throughout this collection.
Each piece features botanical illustrations of flowers that bloom in April. I also painted local reminders of spring and nostalgia (like daisies and buttercups). I especially loved painting my A7 trio of woodland critters caught in the rain. Each one is either safe and cosy, hiding under daisies or logs, or sharing the moment with a friend on a lily pad.
Especially in Britain, rain is a constant companion, and I truly love it. Whether I’m watching it from inside, dancing in it in my garden with my partner, or just having a rain soundtrack playing in the background.
I’d love for you to see these prints in their true glory, so if you choose “add sparkles”, I’ll hand-paint silver rain onto your piece. I love the way this detail makes the rain dance.
When I was younger, I used to get really overwhelmed, and I loved watching the rain fall on the window, it helped me to slow down. I liked the idea that a tear on my cheek could return to the same place as the rain on my window… maybe the ocean, a river, or even steam from a kettle. I love feeling connected to something larger, and I hope my art can convey that.
April Showers gave me a chance to play with mixed media! I used Procreate to animate rain falling on my three A7 pieces. I definitely prefer traditional art, but I had fun experimenting.
You can choose between a standard print or a “sparkly” version. I hand-paint the gold or silver details, which keeps the print closer to the original and makes it feel extra special.
Standard prints are made to order to reduce my environmental footprint. However, there are only 5 sparkly versions of each piece, because there are so many raindrops to paint!
