The beautiful calm before the storm: which is appa

The beautiful calm before the storm: which is apparently coming tomorrow ….. or maybe Friday. One can never tell here because of its magical micro climate. It can be biblical rain in the next door village and hot sunshine here. Who knows? We maybe lucky or we just might have to brave the elements and swim in the rain. Either way - the Solent is like a warm inviting bath and the beaches aren’t that busy as everyone is racing at Cowes including my husband. We’ve hardly seen him, but he and the crew are doing very well in their class - racing against former Olympians apparently. That makes me proud. Love it here 😘#isleofwight #isleofwight #seaview #summerhols #sailinglife #cowesweek #cadetweek #lifeofanopimum

Today has been absolutely fabulous. Sitting on a q

Today has been absolutely fabulous. Sitting on a quiet part of the beach soaking up some sunshine (after yesterday’s deluge this momentary heat is seriously special), I have been reading through various special historical family records and designing two enormous paper sculptures narrating my clients family story on both sides. There is a heavy Japanese influence, as well as large nods to Persian, American and German history. Inspired by Japanese art, to break up the story - I am including handpainted (by me) blossom branches as the ‘visual rests’ around the theatre. The two pictures are called ‘Dawn:Dusk’. Each piece will naturally flow into one another creating one large story. It is a hugely complicated and exceptionally detailed build but I am confident that the final result be pretty fascinating. Final destination: USA.#japaneseart #papersculpture #bespokeart #estila.co #lifestyle #pureluxury #interiorchic #persianart #commissionedart #patriciamitchelldesign

We have been renting holiday cottages in our littl

We have been renting holiday cottages in our little IOW village for 10 years now, our Nomadic holidays taking us from rental to rental. We won’t be buying for a few years yet but at least we have the privilege of trying out every corner of this idyllic secret location (where my husband grew up) to see where we would like to be. Where we are this week is hands down the best lodgings yet - central location and a winning view of the sunset. The view of the church is also special as it is where our daughter was Christened and where my husband and I got married for the second time (within a year - one of the downsides of being a catholic marrying a CofE) so we could call our marriage legal in both religions. Next week it’s all about Cadet week - 100 or so kids let loose in boats on the Solent finishing off with a yacht club disco on Thursday. Best fun ever. Husband is racing in Cowes all week therefore I am footloose and loving the fact I have my own peaceful time between 930 and 4 before the sea monsters come home and drop wet, soggy and sandy kit at my feet and demand food. The saga to be continued……

I am so humbled that the amazing team at @katharin

I am so humbled that the amazing team at @katharinepooleyltd commissioned this African piece. Katharine’s luxurious style is a great inspiration to me, her use of colour, texture and pattern, her attention to the smallest of details and not to mention the support gives to very little artisans like me. I love the way the 24ct gold leafed silhouettes just make the sun come out on such a rainy day like today. #goawayrain! The frame is on the wait list and within 4 weeks, it will be safely installed in its forever home.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart to the super, super team at @katharinepooleyltd for finding my squares on Instagram and giving a little business like mine such a smiley cheer.#africa #sunshineonarainyday #tsavo #safarilodgechic #africaninteriors #africanstyle #capedutchinteriors #katharinepooleyltd #patriciamitchelldesign

SOMETHING FUN TO OPEN ON THE DAY: 25cm x 25cm - unframed. A ‘pre-prez maquette’ because the clients birthday is within a few weeks and the big sculpture still needs to be discussed - colours, papers and sizes. Start 2022.#maquette #papersculpture #birthdaypresent #africandream #bespokeart #2022 #commissionedart #patriciamitchelldesign
