On New Year's, my friend and I met up with the Colorado Native Plant Society and pulled mullein (a noxious weed here in North America) and planted native wildflowers in their place along Clear Creek.

I love doing this kind of work. I know it sounds kind of […]

Somebody asked me if I had ever painted other #whitehorses (other than the one at #uffington, or the waves at the seaside on a blustery day).

Yes! I painted all the #Wiltshire White Horses. These are all modern - cut in the 18th & 19th centuries, but gorgeous […]

Yesterday's #wassailing.
Led by the #eynsham #Morris, villagers processed through the orchard banging pots and pans to scare evil spirits, and singing to wake the apple trees and encourage them to produce a good harvest.

Spicy cider was readily available to […]

At last! I have a fresh new #painting to show you: #waylandssmithy #longbarrow. My first painting for 4 months & my first of 2026.

I've returned to a theme which I first explored with my paintbrushes (and muddy boots) 25+ years ago; ancient monuments […]

Today's #arthistory hit is “Hunters in the Snow” by Pieter #Bruegel the Elder, 1565.
Even if you've seen it before, look again. Its storytelling, composition, mood & expression are spot on. My feet feel wet and cold just looking at it. Top work!

I agree, it’s […]

Eight weeks after my cousin Wendy was run over she's slowly learning to walk again on her completely reconstructed foot/ankle/leg.

Today we went out to 'walk' her doggy, Otter. We had to call in at the pub for a cheeky glass. 🍷 She felt human again!

Thx to […]

Before we moved house, I did loads of 'life laundry'. But I hadn't done enough!
Today I've been going thru many-decades-old portfolios. I've kept a bit, but chucked loads. These are exercises from my time at college more than 40 years ago. 😱
I drew A LOT in […]
