Proofing a new lino print! The boat house at Laugh Proofing a new lino print! The boat house at Laugharne, low tide. I'm still working out which colour to use to print it, but inclining towards Prussian blue... Still learning about cropping the photos!
If you are interested in having one, please DM me.

 print from another Susie @sooz2shoes7 - all the way from the Isles of Scilly. Thankyou Susie, it's delightful. I seem to be collecting puffins. 
I will be filling a basket with toiletries for the local food bank - they get lots of pasta and stuff, but are a bit short on soap,  deodorant, tampons and shaving cream!

Let me know when they arrive, if you can - or if they don't... The post is overloaded and understaffed at the moment due to the pandemic, so lots of Postie love is needed for the folks who deliver the mail. They're out there in their shorts, in snow, hail and rain, and it's freezing today!

 I still have a very few of my #oneofmanypostcard prints left. If you would like one, DM me and I will send you one. The idea is that you donate what you would have paid for it to a cause of your choice, local or national. That way everyone benefits! This past year has left valuable support organisations, large and small struggling to survive. Every little helps. Thanks to @johnapedder for his brilliant idea.

Sunday morning experiment, printing my marmalade l Sunday morning experiment, printing my marmalade lino block onto carefully saved and smoothed out tissue papers that my oranges came wrapped in. I loved the wrappers around oranges when I was little.  We don't see them so often these days, but Seville oranges still come in beautiful papers. Thanks to @paulb1606 for sowing the seeds!

Three little Pembrokeshire paintings from photos, Three little Pembrokeshire paintings from photos, after several studio-based scraping events. Maybe the brushes are beginning to come back to life again; it's been an unmotivated few weeks! The cropping has been a bit severe on the last two!

My first postcard sized print for the #oneofmanypo My first postcard sized print for the #oneofmanypostcard event. Started by the wonderful printmaker @johnapedder to spread a little joy, and to support charities big or small, or other good causes. I have 15 of these little #marmalade prints (it's that time of year) if you would like one, DM me; I'll send you one, and ask you to make a donation of what you feel it's worth - if you can - to a charity or good cause that you support. #payitforward basically.  #oneofmanypostcard kicks off on the 20th January, and I'll post any that are requested after that. 😊

Now that I've posted most of them, here's this yea Now that I've posted most of them, here's this year's lino print Christmas card to wish every one of you as safe and cheerful a Christmas as you can conjure up! 
Gabriel bringing the star to bring a glimmer of light and hope in dark days. 

None of them have inked up perfectly - I think a new roller is needed, or a less hasty printer! You could say it adds an air of ethereal mystery - then again, maybe not!

I've hesitated to post this latest painting. It's I've hesitated to post this latest painting. It's a departure from the way I would normally paint, and it's taken a bit longer! It's built up in layered oil glazes, trying to catch depth, calm and an atmosphere of a special place remembered. Called Wellspring, it's 24 x 18ins, oil on board.
