Quick river sketch this morning between showers. Lots of Plein air, and rain, and more rain.
#derwentwatersolublegraphite , my trusty #pentelwaterbrush (and some rain).
Must do more water drawings. Inspired by @angiespencerpaintings and @alisonvickeryartist both of whom do lovely watery work!

Finished today; May Hill from Haresfield Beacon, late afternoon. Oil on canvas, 10x14" for sale £200.00 unframed.
I started this after a Lockdown walk.
May Hill features in the background of a number of my paintings. I love to see it on the horizon. It's a Gloucestershire landmark like no other. If we've been away, when we spot it, we know we're nearly home.
One day I'll go up it!

DM me if you'd like it.

On this day: My dad Tom, aged 19 in 1939. Long gone (1975) but never forgotten, bless him.

Reduction lino print 'Dandelion field' -so much lovely green! I love @cranfieldcolours Caligo relief inks. They mix beautifully.
I have @sammarshallart to thank for giving me the confidence to tackle 'suicide lino'. I've managed 10 good prints, 8 of which are for sale at £25 each.
DM me if you're interested in having one as part of the @artistsupportpledge

These two lovely people, my son George and his fia

These two lovely people, my son George and his fiancée Dani were due to be married today, with a joyful gathering of family and friends from across the planet. However, they're spending today away from everybody, and starting a countdown to this time next year. We love them both dearly, and are sad for them, but they have each other, and that's what matters.

@the_unhurried_reader I painted your cup and saucer once upon a time! I liked your post about Eva Ibbotson and Mary Stewart - didn't she write The Crystal Cave? I haven't read any of hers for years. Must investigate further!

On VE day and today, my ancient but trusty Singer

On VE day and today, my ancient but trusty Singer sewing machine, 1922 vintage, which cost us £7 in an auction room 38 years ago has been stitching together family masks. It's last job was the living room curtains 3 years ago, and it hasn't been out since! The masks are not high spec PPE, but washable and better than paper ones.
Pattern from 'Treasurie' on YouTube. Fabric; Colefax and Fowler offcuts from the interiors business on the floor below my studio!

Today should have been a Spa and afternoon tea day for Son's fiancée, bridesmaids, both mums, and sister in law. Corona Lockdown cancelled that, along with everything else, so afternoon tea came to Dani, thanks to this lovely box of goodies from @lottie_shaws

Apple blossom on our little Cox tree, cunningly tied down with string to the washing line pole so that I can see it!

SOLD -" Silver Doc's" has gone to a good friend, @kimjarvisartist whose coastal landscapes are a lovely thing to behold. I was going to put it up as another painting for the #artistsupportpledge but Kim already knew about it. So it became a retrospective #artistsupportpledge
