We needed some art for a particular space and I thought, well, how hard can painting actually be? Quite, it turns out, but it’s fun too.

I wonder if the dawn chorus is just one bird singing far too early and all the other birds telling it to shut up, don’t they know what time it is?

I’m having mixed feelings about the death of this famous Finnish furniture designer. It’s sad when someone of his stature goes; on the other hand he lived a long, full life and the original chairs we own are probably worth even more now.
