I'm delighted with my copy of Sam Marshall's really useful, lovely book. So much work has gone into it!
A well thought out, clearly written guide to lino, helpful whether you're a complete beginner or have been printing for years. I'm looking forward to getting my teeth into some of the projects - and now I know what to do with that heap of old blocks, saved (so much work) but just sitting there...
Thankyou, Sam!

Quick winter drawings at Stancombe, on rough water

Quick winter drawings at Stancombe, on rough watercolour paper pre-prepared with blue, burnt sienna and ochre splashy washes. Cold and windy, but not raining. I used @Carandache neocolours and Indian ink with a stick from the hedge for the drawing. I was pleased with the incidental skies the washes threw into the mix. It was pretty close to the actual windy skies.

Friday was Christmas tree collecting day. The view

Friday was Christmas tree collecting day. The view from Pitchcombe was glorious, it was -5° and we've been buying our trees from #pitchcombechristmastrees for 20 years. It then had to live in the yard for a bit while we tidied up -a lot - but (swipe) now it's up! All the precious things unwrapped from their ancient tissue paper, the collection of little decorations brought back from our travels, a few from family long gone, all with stories and woven round with memories, twinkling in the dusk.

A beautifully packaged #oneofmanypostcard from @lizziedee28 has arrived! It's so lovely, Liz, thankyou! My charity this time is Women for Refugee Women, providing support for lone refugee women and their children, because in their place, we would all hope for some compassion and practical help.
A big cheer to @johnapedder for coming up with the simple but genius 1/many concept, and to everyone who shares their work with the world in such a generous way.

Very pleased to hear that this little 5 x 7" painting From Haresfield to the Severn has been selected for the Small Works winter show @springcheltenham I'm looking forward to delivering it and seeing what little gems are going to be alongside it on the walls. It's going to be quite a job to hang them all!

A beautiful #oneofmanypostcard has arrived from @ramblinghen - such a delicate treat! I am supporting Women for Refugee Women, so will be sending them a donation. Thanks to Judith for an elegant little image, and to @johnapedder for his simple, brilliant idea. I was intending to take part myself but time and life have caught up with me. If I do it, mine will be a bit late!

May Hill is a Gloucestershire landmark. If you can

May Hill is a Gloucestershire landmark. If you can see it, you know you're nearly home. There's a clump of trees o n the top planted for Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee. One day I will go up there and look back in this direction, though people do say it's not as good!
Painted with a limited palette; yellow lake, permanent rose, cobalt blue, raw sienna and white.

Rhubarb!
Several of the allotments have great clumps of it, and it's a challenge to paint. So many greens, plus back-lit leaves, shadows, crinkly bits, veins and deep darks - an adventure! Still needing a few tweaks, but the sun had moved round too far. Studio tweaking will come later.

Just off the easel after a bit of tidying up; Allotments, September morning.
Oil on board, plein air (apart from the tweaks). I love the sheds, and the blue water barrels; there is a touch of autumn in the distant trees, and the row of dahlias were a joy!
Thanks to our lovely neighbours for the loan of the key - your plot looks so neat and very productive!

The day began with heavy rain, but it all blew away by mid morning, leaving the Atlantic on the Cote Sauvage very wild indeed! Quick Caran d'Ache Neocolor drawings from the cliff top. I'd have lost my hat if I'd been wearing one. Swipe for the second one which has a bit of finger painting with white gouache.

When in Brittany; draw menhirs!
The Alignements de Kermario at Carnac - an astonishing place to stay, calm and mysterious when the coach tours have left. A quick drawing with a Conté Pierre Noir, then worked on with gouache back indoors away from the throng. I've heard just about every language in Europe going past today.
