Another painting from a photograph posted by @yredknap.bsky.social This time it's Bled castle in Slovenia. I don't think my painting has done it justice, but it's such a beautiful place.

This may be the final art group watercolour for a while, I’ve taken a break from the group. This one is just in time for Halloween on Friday; I wasn’t going to post it until then., but I noticed a lot of people changing their profile pictures on Facebook to a Halloween theme so here it is.

Bought it, got it, read it, it's brilliant, adds some light to a very bleak year. Keep up the good work.

@yredknap.bsky.social I've finished my painting of Saint Paul de Vence. Thanks for sharing the original photograph and allowing me to paint it. I hope I've done it some justice. I know I like it.

Art group watercolour. This is what happens when you make the wrong choice of paper, I should have used rough or NOT instead of HP, but at least it’s bright and colourful.

I'm up to 8 paintings for my 2026 calendar now, so I'm hopeful that I might finish it in time for the new year. This is a painting I did from a photograph I took at Hare Hill some years ago now.

I didn’t manage to create 12 paintings for this year’s calendar, so for October I added a picture of a beautiful sunrise from my window. The Welsh word for October is Hydref, which is also the Welsh word for autumn. I’m still looking for an autumnal scene to paint for my 2026 calendar

A Facebook friend and former colleague posted a photo of her little dog, Popcorn. As a break from watercolour I occasionally like to draw with coloured pencils.

I did this in a craft class on Tuesday, and now it's back from being fused. I'm quite pleased with the result.

This is the final painting from my summer painting holiday in Selby, Yorkshire. I'll have to find more inspiration if I'm going to complete 12 pictures.
