Too Big For My Belly
Pastel
Too Big for My Belly captures a quiet garden moment where the ordinary becomes quietly expressive. A metal watering can, worn tin, and green lantern rest among dense foliage, while a small bird perches above and an oversized snail inches forward in the foreground. The title lends a touch of gentle humour, hinting at appetite, patience, and the small negotiations of the natural world.
Rendered with careful attention to texture and light, the piece elevates everyday objects into something contemplative, inviting reflection on growth, stillness, and the overlooked beauty in simple scenes.

About Jacquie Boyle
Art has been a constant in my life, shaping my creative path from childhood. I was drawn to drawing and painting as a way to express imagination and ideas. This led to commissioned work, where I developed a focus on naïve and cartoon styles, embracing their playful nature through bold colours and simple forms. In recent years, I have worked with pastels, exploring fine detail, soft textures, and subtle tonal shifts. Inspired by the quiet beauty of everyday subjects, I create artworks that feel both intimate and expressive, capturing moments of warmth, character, and gentle observation.
