January update

| Siân

Hi! Quick update.

Well, baby number 2 definitely isn’t ready for me to do any painting, or much else, just yet.

I’m hoping to return to work properly in June (fingers crossed) but I am allowed to work a few more KIT days before then so I have opened my shop back up with longer shipping times. Please note that I’ve specified 21 days from placing an order to posting. In reality I’d usually expect to get parcels out in around 7-10 days, with the help of helpful husband.

I’ve added options for international shipping now too – artwork on paper will be rolled in a tube and sent via airmail.

As usual, any questions, please send me an email and helpful husband or I will get back to you ASAP.

I’m off to schedule some Instagram posts before I go to bed…

Peak District art

SHOP: How to buy my Peak District art prints, cards and gifts – update

| Siân

Hi! As of 15th September 2019 I’m on Maternity Leave until (potentially) June 2020.

During this time I will not be selling prints and cards from my Folksy shop*. You will instead be able to buy art prints, posters, cards, stationery, clothing, homeware and other gifts featuring my work through my shop on Redbubble. This is a Print on Demand service which will make and deliver your order directly to you, so there’s 0% involvement from me and 0% chance of me messing anything up due to sleep deprivation/only being able to use one arm!

SIAN VERNON – PEAK DISTRICT ART
(once on Redbubble, click on the image you are interested in to view the products available)

Peak District landscape art by Sheffield artist Sian Vernon, some of the prints available to buy.

My Folksy shop is currently in Holiday Mode, but I plan to reopen around the beginning of November [update] as soon as possible in the New Year. A selection of my original art will be available to buy when I reopen, but please allow up to 30 days for a response and for your order to be posted*.

Any posts on my blog and social media from mid September 2019 to June 2020 will most likely be scheduled a month in advance so please forgive any weirdness or delay in replying to emails or comments*.

Thanks for your continued support!

*BORING INFO ALERT: This is due to legal restrictions on the number of days I am allowed to work during my Maternity Allowance period.

SHOP: Storm over the Dark Peak

| Siân

An original Peak District landscape painting inspired by a rain storm over the Dark Peak, Derbyshire. I love the drama of the pink sky looming over and the bleak moor beneath, and the suggestion of rain bouncing off the gritstone escarpments.

Measuring A3 (297 x 420mm) it can be easily framed yourself in a standard sized frame, or framed professionally for a more personal look.

SHOP: Over Owler Tor II

| Siân

An original Peak District watercolour landscape painting of Over Owler Tor from Little Moor near Hathersage, Derbyshire. I love the fortress-like feeling of this imposing gritstone tor and the windswept moor beneath. There’s a suggestion of the burnt oranges and ochres of the winter moorland grasses of the Dark Peak in the foreground.

SKETCHBOOK: Little Moor, Hathersage

| Siân

A couple of sketchbook pages I forgot to post from February. These were drawn from Little Moor on the road from Ringinglow to Hathersage. The first is of Winyard’s Nick and the second of Over Owler Tor and the start/end of Millstone Edge. I decided to exaggerate the purple and lime green!

It’s hard to believe these photos were taken in February. As I was sitting with my back against the wall in the sunshine, a stoat, looking completely out of place in its white winter coat, popped its head out about 3 meters away, looked at me and hopped off up the field.

SHOP: Curbar Edge I and II

| Siân

Two contemporary Peak District landscape paintings of Curbar Edge near the Chatsworth Estate in Derbyshire. I’ve tried to capture the mood of this rugged gritstone escarpment in winter and the burnt oranges of the grasses and bracken on the moor below.

SHOP: Millstone Edge from Little Moor

| Siân

My latest Peak District watercolour landscape painting of Millstone Edge from Little Moor in Hathersage, Derbyshire. Over Owler Tor can be seen on the left hand side. With this expressive painting I’ve tried to capture the feeling of this windswept moor in winter, and the gritstone rock escarpment and tors above. There’s a suggestion of the purplish glow of the bare birch trees under the rock face.
