Reasonably warm in the studio this morning and my first painting in what seems like absolutely months. I don’t know what’s happened, but I actually felt like putting brush to paper today. Anyway, this is… ‘No, it’s not snow’, watercolour, 38x42cms

It’s not been a great week thus far to say the least. Took this photo walking back home.

Bought a ‘new’ camera so I could go out in the rain, but it was sunny this morning, so went out anyway.

It’s not often that I repaint something but I’ve had another go at this one... ‘Tangled Sun’, watercolour, 38x42cms.

Another outing with these beautiful things last night. I don’t know if it’s possible to be in love with a drum kit but….

Quite a bit of fiddling to this painting this morning… I’ve put it away now. ‘Oranges, yellows, greens and blues’, watercolour, 38x42cms.

2 hours in the studio this morning. Decided to stop and go home for lunch before the inevitable fiddling started. Watercolour, 38x42cms. Currently untitled.

Early morning iPhone photo on my way to the train station this morning.

I’ve done absolutely nothing today, so here, for what it’s worth, are 4 instax photos taken yesterday on my walk to the studio.

Today’s effort. Based on a photo and my drawing last week. ‘Tangled Sun’, watercolour, 38x42cms

Something from a couple of weeks ago: ‘Dreamy Sun’, watercolour, 38x42cms

Fuji instax photographs taken on my walk around RSPB Ham Wall. I like the random outcome of these types of photos, taken on expired film.

My studio was so cold this morning so went to the cafe next door for cups of tea and a bit of drawing.
November 21, 2024 at 12:41 PM
One of the few photos I didn’t accidentally delete from my visit to RSPB Ham Wall today.

Definitely got too involved with the detail on this but still quite an enjoyable afternoon.

In the studio this morning, tried to make this painting more about the marks but got involved with detail. ‘Enjoying the sun’, watercolour, 38x42cms

This painting seems to have survived some major changes in the past weeks. ‘Path’, watercolour, 38x42cms

Went for a walk around Shapwick NNR to look for some woodland/wetland colour in the autumn sun before everything turns grey. It was such a delight to listen to the reeds and birds and smell the damp peatland. There are some paintings in these somewhere.

I refuse to be ‘chased’ off of Twitter but may well gradually migrate… hence this is my first post back on here in quite sometime.
‘Birch and Moss’, watercolour, 38x42cms.
