Art for me, is a gentle journey into love
- Debs Kay -
Thanks so much for visiting. I am an English freelance artist & teacher now living in France - I simply love to paint, most often it is animals, our beautiful natural world & the young at heart that inspire me. My favourite medium is soft pastels - their intensity of colour, versatility and soft velvety look, for me, is beyond compare.
Creating art has brought such richness and depth to my life which I could never have imagined - here on my website I have originals artworks available, I also offer a commission service and have some lovely printed products - if you are interested in learning how to paint please scroll down or visit my online learning page - I would love share with you the joy of creating art.
Please take a look around & if you have any queries or would just like to say hello, please do get in touch I would love to hear from you..

How To Paint With Pastels?
ONLINE LEARNING
I have been painting with pastels & pastel pencils for just under 20 years now, and art has become so much more for me than I had ever anticipated, along with the pleasure of creating it has truly opened my eyes and has brought me pure joy – art quiets my mind and helps me to connect to somewhere truly beautiful, a still moment in time – she is my special friend who quietly waits for me to come and join her on a meandering and magical journey, sometimes the journey is a lesson to be learned, sometimes it is a rich and vibrant path, sometimes a soft and gentle one, sometimes it is fun and joyful, sometimes reflective and peaceful, but whatever journey she takes me on it is a journey into love – and art and my furry friends have been the best therapy in life anyone could have possibly wished for.
And so now my wish is to share this joy with you, share with you what I have learnt over the years and share some of the beautiful places and things I have painted – I hope to inspire you & encourage you to have a go! and therapeutic world of painting with pastels
Commission An Original Painting
I love to work with clients to create a painting that is truly personal to them - there is nothing lovlier than joining together to create something special.
So each year I take on a few commision clients to create an original pastel painting of a loved human, pet or a special memory - A painting that is created for you makes a wonderful reminder that can be enjoyed for many years to come.
A Few Testimonials
I commissioned a picture of my Fudge, a lurcher who had recently passed away. Debs was brilliant, she kept in touch constantly sending me updates and took care with every detail making sure that it was correct. The finished picture was brilliant, so life like, showing Fudge in her favourite place by the sea.The picture can be seen on the web page, I have recommended Debs to many of my friends and relatives and I am commissioning another picture soon.

This piece has totally exceeded my expectations, I absolutely love it! It is a stunning artwork and the quality is excellent, the wise use of colours gives the painting so much realism and depth. I can't wait to have it framed. It was perfectly packaged for safe delivery. Deb is a wonderfully talented artist! Highly recommended.

All her work is done with love - especially for animals and nature and it shows. Have seen some beautiful work of hers and am now the proud owner of a fabulous cushion and greeting card showing my beautiful boy - Tobykins.

Amazing, Debs has a unique style and manner and creates astonishing pieces. She truly captures not only the image but also their spirit . A wonderful artist & teacher

We bought one of her paintings the Moonlit Poppies Landscape, it was beautiful on the screen but in person it has thrilled us even more. With this artwork, Debs succeeds in conveying emotions such as peace and serenity, as if the viewer were actually in the depicted place, in that precise moment. Excellent quality! Many compliments.

Her art has depth and feelings you can study it and reminds you of the good things that have happened in the past with a warm and loving glow.
