It's the Marmalade season! A 10 X 12 inch marmalad

It's the Marmalade season! A 10 X 12 inch marmalade oil study in its smart new frame. Reflections and metal, transparency and rich coppery browns in the tawny marmalade. Toast, anyone?
This one's available; DM me for details if you're interested.

This was my final little painting of 2021, with a bit of bright sky to start off a new year of painting; trying to simplify - well, everything!
Thankyou to everyone who has liked or commented over the year; it's been a real pleasure. Stay safe, stay well and creative; it's how we keep going!

With no sun, and gloomy skies, a day in the studio

With no sun, and gloomy skies, a day in the studio with phone photos from a walk last week was the best option. These two are the first in a series of small, simplified 7" x 5" studies, trying to edit out the fiddly detail to focus on the big changes of colour. I'm trying to describe the form in as few marks as possible. I began to get a sense of it, but there are lots more studies to go yet!
Not sure quite when I'll be back in the studio - frustrating, but hey- it's nearly Christmas!

Not a great photo - too much very old crocheted pink blanket, and quite a lot of framer's wrap, but it's a bit better than the previous photo for giving a sense of the whole painting! 🤭

Now that it's been delivered to its new home, I can share this commissioned plein air view across Stout's Hill lake, Uley in all its autumn glory. A lovely commission; I really enjoyed painting it. Thankyou to @ruth_cornish for introducing me to a new painting spot. The photo isnt helped by Instagram's square format!

When life gives you lemons....paint them!
I love the old blue and white kitchen cloth that they're sitting on. It's oil on canvas, 30 X 30cm/ 12x12" and £175 plus shipping. It's unframed - it's still drying. If you know anyone who needs a lemon painting in their kitchen for Christmas, please DM me. 🍋🍋🍋

Apples and bronze glazed bowl, a little still life

Apples and bronze glazed bowl, a little still life 8 X 10". I love the bowl, which came from a charity shop years ago. Coloured tissue papers are fab to work with - the intense greeny turquoise of this one doesn't quite come over in the phone photo, but I had a lovely time mixing it!

Yay! Another magnificent 1/many postcard from the absolute star that is @johnapedder - so thrilled to have this little gem in my collection. This evening I have donated to Gloucestershire Action for Refugees and Asylum Seekers - doing good work locally to welcome people from war torn places and supporting them to make a new life.

Thankyou @rachelwilliamsart for this Migratingbird which flew to my door while I was at work today. I love the expressive swirl and drama of it.

For some inexplicable reason the post has just turned up on a Sunday, but with it came this little treasure from @jacqueline.savidge all the way from Greece. I think this is my last #oneofmanypostcard and it's lovely!
The stamps are great too.
Such a great idea of @johnapedder
I've made a donation to @glos.sunflowers this time. They do good work.

The outcome of today's First Friday Walk along the river Severn at Arlingham with @walking.the.land Theme for the walk: risk! Thanks to @kelarrowsmith
for leading.
Turning tide, low sun, surprisingly warm, in the company of a happy little black dog called Fen, who joined the group for the afternoon.
I took the risk of leaving my Neocolor II wax pastels at home and had to improvise with limited colours and two Derwent Inktense water soluble colour pencils I found in the bottom of my pencil case.

10 X #oneofmanypostcard posted!
Trying to re-use stuff and be more planet-friendly, it turned out that some of the ones with recycled envelopes had to have customs declarations because they were going beyond these shores, with a value which has to be greater than 0. 🙄
Keep an eye on your post/letterboxes, and let me know when they arrive - some are quick, the ones to the USA and Canada can take weeks!

#oneofmanypostcard So many people have asked for a little leaf print - thank you all! I've been looking at the calendar; I will do the draw on Thursday evening, so that I can get as many as possible into the post on Saturday 30th October. Otherwise it will be next Thursday before I can get to a post office again!
Thanks to @johnapedder for the idea, and for picking a Sunday for the posting day...🤭

Here it is - my #oneofmanypostcard offering for Oc

Here it is - my #oneofmanypostcard offering for October. Nearly gave up; how can a leaf cause so much bother?! This is the second version, having scrapped the first. I had to re-tint and re-cut the paper, got ink everywhere, and got very grumpy!
Anyway; I have 10 autumn leaves to give away as part of the wonderful 1/many event.
If you would like one, let me know in the comments and I'll put your name in the hat (in case there are lots). If you're drawn out of the hat I'll DM you for your address. If you haven't done it before, the deal is that I send you the print free, and you donate what you feel the print is worth -or what you can afford- to the charity of your choice. The genius that is @johnapedder had the idea, and it's grown and grown. Everybody wins! I've got a lovely little collection from all over Europe now, and supported causes dear to my heart. 😊💖

Two paintings delivered this afternoon to their new owner @ruth_cornish living in a beautiful, quiet corner of Uley. I'm really looking forward to the prospect of painting there as the autumn colours deepen. Fingers crossed for good weather!
Apologies for blurry photos - technology defeating me again!
