I love finding driftwood along the Thames 🌊

Painting unique shapes and colours on these river finds. The grain and texture of the wood creates a weathered backdrop that frames my designs perfectly 🎨

I was watching the parakeets share the bird feeders with all the other little birds in my garden. As soon as I got my phone to take a photo this one flew away 🦜🪶

Have a wonderful Friday 😊

Being an RAF #veteran means I get asked to paint aircraft fairly often. I'm not a trained artist so these are my interpretation but they are always received well
