I am sharing maybe a UK artist to you, although she is very popular. I am attracted to her humor and her use of space& color. (Angela Smyth often captions the piece within her artwork, when she doesn't I added her title, but some had no title). I had trouble picking just 11.

Angela says, "I am a self taught artist based in a small town in West Yorkshire, where I have a studio not far from the house.  I’ve been painting professionally for over a decade, and in the time I’ve exhibited widely, both in the UK and abroad, and I am published by Aquarelle Publishing Ltd. "

Thank you, Cheryl. Someone asked them once who they liked best, jacki or Grandma? They all answered immediately, "Oh, Grandma"!" But, yes, blessed indeed.

This photo is so precious, Jacki. You all look so happy. Sometimes it would be nice to go back twenty years.
Tomorrow I'll have another happy day with my son and granddaughter. She is so funny , she likes to paint and draw and to sew, listen to stories grandpa is telling and to enjoy some ice cream, ...
Life is so exciting at the age of 6 and a half.
