This is Coe Fen in Cambridge, a watercolour drawing from 1998. The tower in the middle distance is the Pitt Building and the other tower is the United Reform Church. This was done on the spot with watercolour and Indian ink.

A quite large oil on canvas portrait of Lorna from 1991. This one is stored away rolled up with other canvases but I just spotted a photo of it on my camera rolll. She was a frequent and very patient sitter for portraits when she lived nearby and has several of them (more available!)

An older watercolour drawing from when I used to make frequent trips to sketch in London. This shows the Embankment with lots of pigeons, a pavement artist and a couple of Japanese young women on one of the benches. This was sold at an exhibition.

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.

Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

Painted tonight, but it’s nowhere near done, so instead here’s a piece I did in 2024 called Frosty Twilight (16”x20” mixed media). I went through a whole birches phase and this was part of that series.

Anyhoooo….who’s ready for Monday?! I’m not! Lol #art #painting #mixedmedia #sundayscaries

A #painting "Portrush Harbour came after cycling from Derry around Binevenagh and on to north Antrim where after sleeping off a sickness for 24 hours in Portrush I walked to the harbour the next day. When I finished painting this scene I cycled off around the Causeway Coast. #ArtYear #SpeirGhorm

What a brave group of people the Florida leaders are. They painted over the pride crosswalk at the Pulse nightclub massacre in the darkness. No warning, no acknowledgment. Way to go, deathsantis.

My 80-year-old aunt told me she "got tired of streaming" and is borrowing DVDs from her library again.

So I checked it out and they have an amazing selection. Blu-rays too, from Criterion, Kino Lorber and other boutique labels.

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.
