Friday afternoon oil painting practice - the UI is still buggy, but I got the Reference Image element to work in Rebelle 8 (lost everything else in the process though, & hard crashed the app - thank goodness for the inbuilt saves and recovery files 😅).
Lady of Shalott from my garden.

November 4 means Egyptologists everywhere are cringing that people will be posting a picture of a seal from the second shrine of Tutankhamun as if it is the door to the tomb (KV62) which was opened on this day in 1922.

Learning a few new things in Rebelle today (making vignettes, gradients) while knocking out my favourite power couple. Harriet Vane and Lord Peter Wimsey.

When you have no information if your favourite drawing software (seeming long abandoned by its Dev) is compatible with MacOS Tahoe, you have no choice but to export each piece individually so you can import it into Rebelle. I will be sorry to lose the pencil tools as they are the best I've ever used

Happy #AdarDay to those that celebrate.
OK, it's Saturday, but imho AdarDay should be a thing.
Messing around with palette knives and gradients.

Unfortunately Roxie, Ahmed, Zeinab and the rest of the team didn't leave contact details, but I very much appreciate that they are enjoying my work and decorating their workspace in Zamalek, Cairo with it! I am with them in spirit.

Lady of Shalott has entered the chat. Hopefully there will be some left when I get back, this small rose bush is just bursting with buds. If only the bandicoots and blackbirds would stop digging them up!

I think Munstead Wood is my pick for star performer this spring, although some of our other roses are putting on a lot of buds so that might change over the coming weeks.

Excited to receive my copy of Ancient Egypt in 50 Discoveries from the Egypt Exploration Society all the way from the UK. Was great fun working on a variety of illustrations for this. Get the special gold foil edition before they sell out!

When not commanding, farming, crafting or helping new players in Guild Wars 2, I spend way too much time wondering what the Mursaat got going on under the hood.

Set up notifications for accounts on Bluesky now it's finally implemented, but when I looked today it was a surprise because they were all for one of my (way too many) Adar studies getting some love.
Here's another by way of thanks. 🤍
