Massive demonstration taking place right now in Denmark, demanding that the US and Trump take its hands off Greenland and show some respect for the ally that bled by its side in its hour of need.

I did a lot of sketching in Girton College in the late '90s including three large pastels. At least one of these went to someone who had graduated from the college. The college has very nice wooded grounds.

A small watercolour drawing of the entrance to HA!HA! on Trinity St, Cambridge (now Strada) with passing figures. This sold at an exhibition I had in King Street in 2000. Doesn't seem long ago to me. See alt text

I love that arched entrance to a designer bar and grill on Cambridge Trinity Street. I'm glad it has been preserved or rebuilt because it became quite dilapidated years ago. Money does have its uses. Next door was Jaegar, now The Ivy Brasserie. All these flashy and expensive places would have been quite alienating to me coming to Cambridge now instead of simpler times in 1974 when pubs were scruffy and cheap.

UK sets up a new “business centre” in Ukraine aimed at “opening up new markets for UK defence companies”.

The Ukraine war has created a new market and Labour sees the war as an engine for British economic growth.

Just one more pastel flower painting for now. A carnation and freesia painting with a couple of anenomes and some ivy plus a shell that has been in several artworks. This one dates from the millenium and is on someone else's wall. See alt txt.

I never know whether to call a work in pastel a painting or a drawing. I suppose it's a painting if it has broad areas of colour and a drawing if it is mainly linear (I tend to use Conté sticks for line work). I have used pastel since I was a child so that's a long time!

My shop in Glastonbury has had a little bit of a make over. What do you think? I thought for so long about different colours but in the end it had to be purple. 💜

Painted today. I will paint something that isn't wintry soon. Probably.

A watercolour painting of a winter scene with lots of lying snow. There are trees to either side and some rough grass in the foreground. A path made by people walking leads into the painting and two figures, an adult and child can be seen in the distance along with two dogs.

This is a photo of a Swallow Yachts Bay Raider moored at the Parrog in Newport, Pembrokeshire, Wales with Morfa Head and the beach at Newport Sands in the distance. The blue sky, fluffy white clouds and two yellow buoys are reflected in the calm waters of Newport Bay.

Happy Sunday! We had a basic but beautiful sunrise this morning. I have my fingers crossed that the day will be similarly pretty and peaceful. Tap for full size. I hope you have a great day!
