About Me

My photo
I'm a nature obsessed artist who lives in an little house in a little vilage in the Highlands of Scotland.I wander around a lot in the wilds and spend time just looking at things like birds and moths and trees and rocks. The rest of the time I'm drawing or painting, making odd things out of old stuff and drinking giant cups of peppermint tea. Imogen Greene is my pen name. I like the way it sounds and it just kind of suits what I do.

Great music




Have just had a lovely weekend off, did lots of walking, caught up with friends and saw the brilliant Rachel Sermanni play at the Old Bridge Inn, Aviemore. (My favourite pub) Click on her name for a link to her and friends on tumbler, check out "The Fog" as well. Nothing quite beats a ceilidh on the tube! Her first EP is out next week, I shall be buying it!

LITTLE BIRDS


These little pen and wash drawings are about to go into my etsy shop. They're a bit different from my usual style but I'm happy to play around with different looks for the moment. This year so far has been a bit hectic, I've been away for a few days doing fieldwork which was fun and interesting and took me into the spectacular landscape of Rannoch moor- see my photo below but I'm finding it a bit difficult to get back into a routine in the studio, so I've just been doing quick drawings and doing a lot of thinking about what I want to achieve this year. I have pages and pages of lists in my notebook so perhaps I should stop with the lists and just get on with it................................

Treasuries

One of the tasks I set myself today was to try out different treasury wigets for my Etsy shop,
The pink one caught my eye and also features one of my item, and I just found this one; which shows a selection that I have curated..........
The treasury seems to be a good way to bring in more views ( and hopefully sales!)
I hope you enjoy browsing through them.

Pinterest

I just joined pinterest and I don't know quite what I'm doing yet.....
It looks like it will be great for collating all the things that inspire me, but really I'm undecided as to whether it is a good thing or just another way to waste time on the laptop of an evening, I'd be interested in your thoughts if you care to share?
Click on the pinterest button on the left to follow my progress........
