• Welcome to all that enter. For newer work please go to the bottom of this site .  The images represented are all made with mixed media mostly pastel, charcoal, oil, printer's ink on paper, canvas and reclaimed wood. I use a printing press occasionally.  I  enjoy mixing mediums and materials following the itch in my hands as my artist's mind takes over.

    My name is Penelope Douglas.

    I am an artist who also has a career in social enterprise and investment.  
    Throughout my early artist life I was passionately focused on the human figure and worked almost exclusively in black and white.  When I was about 35, I met a painter with whom I worked for a few years, and during that time I fell for oils, and worked mostly on images that reflected the landscape around me.
    More recently, I have been deeply interested in printmaking and in mixing lots of media together.  What I don't have in printmaking is an affinity for precision, and this shows in my work.  
    I am also inevitably drawn to making stuff, and have tried to make giant puppets out of driftwood. I hope to do more giant work.
