Pinned
Sketchbook pages from a recent small-van adventure to Denmark via The Netherlands and Germany.
This was a painting which had no soul and then got scrubbed out and then became the ghost of something it was meant to be.

Garden on another hot day.

Painting in Sudbury water meadows yesterday.
I wonder if Gainsborough was pestered by curious cattle?

That was unexpected and very welcome in the SW corner of Suffolk.

Could someone please identify this wild plant. Growing in damp ground in W Suffolk. Leaves are leathery and smooth, looks like it spreads by roots

Spring Equinox

Today was a perfect warm and sunny spring day for a small van adventure to NT Ickworth, walking, looking and painting.
And just hanging out in the van.

I’ve just finished the audiobook of The Gustav Sonata. A story spanning 50+ years of love, lust, truth, loneliness and honesty. Rose Tremain always creates complex flawed unforgettable characters and these will stay with me for a long time.

A beautiful clear sunny day for a camper van lunch. We attempted to park at NT Wimpole but it was crazy busy! So we went to RSPB Ouse Washes at Earith, peaceful and great views over the reed beds.

Latest make - pj bottoms
I’d been searching for 100% cotton fabric, then I recalled a tip, look for bed linen.
I found a ‘new’ habitat single duvet cover on ebay, it cost £14 for enough fabric for two pairs of pj bottoms (though I may dye the pale green so it doesn’t look like scrubs)

This week I was excited to start the Experimental Still Life Experience with the inspiring artist Gabriella Buckingham. I know it’s going to give my painting practice a shake-up and push it new directions. Enrolment is still open until the end of Feb

Happy Plough Monday!
I’m staying in and hoping my cold gets better, but if you’re out galavanting with the plough boys tonight, wrap up warm and mind how you go! xx

Lots of lovely customers this morning and great to catch up with neighbours and friends.
Followed by a relaxing afternoon watching a Bond movie on TV … and reliving driving our van along the Atlantic Ocean Road in Norway
this morning’s view from my stall at the village bazaar… good place to catch up with local news
