  • In the studio today and nothing to show but boring priming of cradled boards for new paintings. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So instead here is a shot of the boat huts on Holy Island from a couple of weeks ago. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #coastal #northumberland #Northumberlandcoast #holyisland #linfisfarne #eastcooastofengland #lovewhereyoulive
  • It's good for me to shake things up a little every so often. Feeling a little stuck, knowing I just need to work through it, I am working on lots of small pieces on paper as a change from the larger paintings. Mostly, I feel I am creating what feels intuitive but on a smaller scale, even reworking old ground and ideas I have been playing with for the longest time. But even doing the same old, same old is better than doing nothing! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ A change of materials can help, or a change in colour palette, but for right now a different scale and pace of working is working grand! No expectations, just play. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #abstractart #abstract #abstractlandscape #harbour #maritimeart #mixedmedia #mixedmediaart #harbour #marineart #mixedmedia #seascape #smallstudies
  • I had a little trouble leaving the studio today! Mother swan had settled herself next to my car with her new babies and Father was just nearby and anxious that I not get close. So I had to patiently wait till they decided to move on. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Only three signets this year after their brood of seven last year. In a blink of an eye they will quadruple in size. I do enjoy seeing these beauties take care of their family each year.
  • Another sketch from my day out last week in my large #moleskinesketchbook . Carbon pencil on paper. it started raining quite heavily so the drawing got quite wet and transferred but I loved the process, the time to observe and rest in the landscape. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #art #artmaterials #drawing #draw #pencil #pencilandpaper #sketch #sketchbook #sketchbookpage #sketching
