Delighted to come home from work to find this @oneofmanycharity post from @jo4edart - such a wonderful print, and I love the ghostly image that appeared when I opened it - its harder to get ink to dry in the winter!
@oneofmanycharity is a wonderful idea dreamed up by the remarkable printmaker John Pedder.
The charity I'm supporting this time round is Maggie's cancer support centre in Cheltenham which does amazing work.

Solstice to solstice, the pinhole camera came down

Solstice to solstice, the pinhole camera came down yesterday, and this rather wonderful image emerged! The new camera goes up on the drainpipe today. We'll position it so it 'sees' more of the sky, and try and make sure it stays watertight. The equinox to equinox camera failed, and the contents were a soggy mess!

Today I finally arrived @victoriaartgallerybath to see the @bathsocietyofartists show; a wonderfully eclectic exhibition; the work is always amazing. I tracked down my painting 'Allotment Dahlias, September' and found it in good company. The photos are terrible, but I'm glad to have seen the show!

Aaaand... that's it for this year!
Its been my first year taking part in the Autumn Arts Trail, and it's been a BLAST! People have been very complementary about the handsome brochure; Sue and Chris have been very supportive of the artists taking part, and worked so hard. I've loved meeting the people who have taken the time to climb the steep stairs to my studio at the top of the building; a huge thankyou to everyone who bought my work, or said good things about it. Believe me, it really matters - its such a validation. Thankyou all. I'm exhausted!
A quiet night in, and then I need to get down to some new work!

A touch of springtime blossom for the second weeke

A touch of springtime blossom for the second weekend @autumnarts24 to entice you up the steep stairs to Studio 4 at Piccadilly Mill West this Saturday and Sunday from 11-6pm. There's the added lure of paintings at studio prices and a rather gorgeous chocolate fudge cake (Vegan AND gluten free).
Across the yard at Studio 5 are @fionnaheskethjeweller and @studiotuft, and just up the road, opposite the hospital you'll find @kimjarvisartist so why not make a day of it?

This little picture 'Small harvest' will be on the wall in my studio at the weekend, open as part of the Autumn Arts Trail @autumnarts24
The peaches were grown in her allotment greenhouse by an old friend, and were crying out to be painted. I was really pleased with the resulting painting; the colours were a joy.
The studio is open from 11am to 6pm on Saturday and Sunday this weekend 12th/13th October, and next 19th/20th. There are still-life and landscape paintings on offer, and cake!

Woohoo! Thrilled to have my plein air allotment painting Allotment Dahlias, September selected for this year's @bathsocietyofartists Open Exhibition

@oneofmanycharity We got back from a week in Italy

@oneofmanycharity We got back from a week in Italy to this lovely 1/many postcard from @jo4edart shining a Beacon of light into the September post-holiday gloom. I will be donating to @miscarriageassociation to add a bit more to the humungous amount raised by @danibowkettwilletts who jumped out of a plane at 10 000 feet on a fundraising skydive in July 😳
@oneofmanycharity is the brainchild of the brilliant printmaker @johnapedder and charities little and large have benefitted so far from this simple but genius scheme.

Two sketchbook drawings from yesterday's walk. One in situ, one roughed out and then finished at the kitchen table, both using @carandache #neocolor2 wax pastels. I love them, they're perfect for this sort of trip when I'm not feeling the painting urge. Less than half a mile from home, a view I've drawn before towards the community farm, and then a wonderful blue polytunnel on the #uplandsallotments, seen from the track alongside the fence. It reminded me that I need to get back inside the fence to paint soon... Painting urge revived!

Great painting day out in good company at @leafand

Great painting day out in good company at @leafandground in Dursley today with @melcooperpowell_artist @awaddellart and @bloomz.art
Not as hot as it threatened to be, quite breezy, but a lovely place to paint; lunch, coffee and loos near at hand.
These paintings are testing a (very) limited palette; @mhpaints Yellow Lake, Scarlet Lake and Ultramarine, plus Warm White. It's amazing how many colours that combination will produce! The painting of the pond was only just over 30 minutes'-worth as the roar from the tractor cutting the grass round us and the Combine Harvester in the next field made concentration tricky!

Today our wonderful daughter in law Dani, her amazing mum Lel, and best mates Sophie and James jumped out of an aeroplane at 10 000 feet to raise money for @miscarriageassociation - it's been postponed because of the weather conditions 3 times, but today the stars, (+ wind and sunshine) aligned, and off we all went to @goskydiveuk
It was really well organised, with ALL the safety checks, and cheerful and reassuring staff for the last minute nerves - an amazing morning. The adrenalin fuelled crew have raised around £3.5k for the charity; so proud of them all!
