Fox acrylic on 12 inch round canvas. Art lovers, I have lots of paintings that can be paid in 3 instalments, perfect for Christmas gifts. Also, for US customers, artwork is exempt from tariffs.

Elgar's Dream of Gerontius conducted by Kazuki Yamada with the wonderful CBSO + CBSO chorus who were phenomenal.
Sadly no Toby Spence but Benjamin Hulett was brilliant, as were Jess Dandy and Roderick Williams.

A chubby crucian carp on the way. Found a lovely little oval frame so painting this on acrylic primed cardboard. Who knows if this will work!
Lots to do and some hornwort weed for movement.

'I came first through the warm grass
Humming with Spring...'
This little bee painting I've started made me think of Brian Patten's brilliant poem, The Bee's Last Journey to the Rose.

Acrylic on stretched canvas. Fox in progress. May change to oil for a softer finish but at the moment quite liking the edgier lines of the acrylic.

I follow a brilliant account in Instagram called Wildlife Kate. Her photograph of a dead robin, found beautiful, unmarked and cradled in cupped hands seemed symbolic and made me want to try and capture in paint.
