Red Hen Originals

I am in love with this painting of two mice by Julia Burns - and it's only £28.50, complete with mount. Naturally, I like her paintings of pigs, too. Picture: Red Hen Originals.

Celia Lewis

I absolutely love Surrey artist Celia Lewis's watercolours of pigs - painted from life, in her garden, of her own Gloucester Old Spots. Her paintings start at just £50, mounted and including postage, which I think is amazingly cheap. Pictures: Celia Lewis.

Endellion

There are some truly lovely things over on Endellion, the small online shop run by Antonia Robinson and David Shields, from Charlestown in Cornwall. I'd love one of their extraordinary, fairytale-like tree lamps on my bedside table. They have a really good selection of not-crazily-extortionate paintings, too. Pictures: Endellion.

Nicholas Hely Hutchinson

They're not fashionable, and you're more likely to see them on greetings cards than museum walls, but I find there's something so uplifting about Nicholas Hely Hutchinson's paintings. They're often of landscapes I know and love - such as Dorset, Cornwall and the west coast of Ireland - or wild flower meadows, remote cottages and bluebells woods. Find some of his greetings cards, produced by Canns Down Press, at Papergrain.
