Little Pieces of Sunshine!

Welcome to my website!

My name is Jenna Martin Leitch and I’m an artist, illustrator and writer from Fife, Scotland.

My work is inspired by the treasures I find, in my everyday life and in the natural world. The joy they bring to me. The “happy” they make me feel.

About Jenna

I collect things; In my pockets, through my eyes, with my mind, and in my heart. The things we have lost. The things we have found. The sum of our parts.

Through written word, drawn line, and painted hue; I make sure the magic is remembered and the JOY I FEEL is paid forward.

As well as CATS, I ALSO draw dogs... 🤍 Each drawing is graphite pencil on paper. Working from detailed, good quality photos, so I can see all the tiny speckles in an animals eyes. The catchlights. Their magic. Their personality. Who they are. Who they were. The love those eyes hold. And place all of this on the paper for you. 

Head and shoulders portrait. On heavyweight cartridge paper of A4 size, £95. Full body, single portrait on A3 size cartridge paper, £220. Message me if you would like me to create a lasting image or memory of your beloved dog. 

I have spaces in my ‘commissions’ diary  in the run up to Christmas, or maybe it’ll be a treat for someone specials birthday, or indeed,  a ‘just because’...

What an absolute beauty 🍁

I went to walk to calm myself, and at the turning point, where I turned to head back home, this leaf was lying on the ground. 

The brightest along my path. I left it for another to find, in turn.

SKYWRITING 

“Words stretched from cloud to cloud in sky scrawled transcript. Silver linings penned of hopes and of dreams… Imaginings cradled, upon and within, sky bound vapour. Held aloft, by air current, turbulence and bluster. Moving rapidly… fleeting from grey to blue.”

A tiny house, made of lichen, moss and wood. 

Happened upon, on a dog walk wander. 

A little door, and pin prick windows envisaged. A breeze running through, those windows opened, and unlatched. The door, on doorstop, help wide, and tiny occupant, stood in doorway. Broom handle held, hand on hip. 

Dust swept up, and spick and span, otherwise, in downstairs, in miniature. 

Open hearth, with stove, stoked full. Fire of golden embers, a-glow, and all warmth. Kettle on hob, with wisp of steam heat, rising from spout. 

A table, with littlest of loaves, sliced, and crumbs. An empty cup besides. 

A home of heart, and of welcome. 

A place of safety. A harbour in the storm. 

A tiny house, made of lichen, moss and wood… And imagination.

Another week of vitality, connecting to my breath and working hard in the gym. Strength increasing week on week, and loving feeling my body move and gain confidence in myself as a result. 

Making sure to carve out the time and the space, day to day, where with even a half hour of walking in the outdoors, I create some headspace to work through my tasks and my goals. 

This is to be a busy week, the days ahead jam packed with work, football, appointments, house and home, a jaunt to see my girls from school for the weekend. It couldn’t come at a time when I need it most, but also, wish I could be home still, to support my husband and my girls for the days I’ll miss. 

We are a little team, us 4, and with my Dad nearby, we extend to reach out to him also. Garden updates and help and connection besides. Cups of coffee. Chats about our days… 

I’ve been drawing and painting again. Which feels wonderful, but I know, without the fitness, and the looking after me, this would be a struggle. It all works together… we all do. As a greater whole. 

So, onwards to another week. Of home and of family. Sports and solo pursuits. Of love and of friendships. The great outdoors, and the wonder found in the tiniest of details. All of it intertwined. 

Onwards.

A smile of rain dropped feather. Resting on clovers. 

My daughter and I stopped as we both noticed.., she said, “that’s so pretty! Isn’t it? The way the water has made patterns…” I agreed, that yes, it was. It really was. 

She notices as I do. She’d noticed… And I was grateful of her company on a quiet walk after tea last night. Her on bicycle, weaving ahead her own path as she pedaled.

“An awakening… we rub our eyes. Although not fully restored, we feel that the time is now right to begin the wax, from months of wane: to be our fuller most ‘us’ once more…”

Another tiny landscape, on another tiny twig… placed in palm; held and studied. 
Imagined gatherings of the tiniest of people.  In woodland dell. Tent pitched and campfire lit. Wandering to collect firewood, and planning their camp-out tea. 🏕️🌳🔥🪵

Such vivid imaginings conjured… 

All from a tiny strip of lichen and moss covered bark. 

Magical.
