L E T it G O - some wisdom for your day from Iceland. You say it ‘lye’tter sly’tter’.

Pick your battles
Let them
Love is big
Hope is our superhero
and, of course

FREE 🇵🇸 - because some things we aren’t ever letting go

‘The intelligence of water’ (100x100cm)

My fourth time at the so-wonderful Mangetout on Trafalgar Street - sit and drink the softest most mellow coffee and the most fabulous French food while looking at some of my pics - ‘Don’t Be Afraid’ - the last words of Seamus Heaney to his wife before he died - we need to defy fear with hope 🥰

Every year I paint the blossom - this year, it’s candy colour soft like cherry pink cotton wool - not sure which way up…?

Ben (partner): What’s that supposed to be then?
Me (sigh): What do you think?
Ben: …deep…water…?
Me: See? You DO ‘have the bandwidth for my abstract immersive stuff’

‘Kinetic: the pink diamond’ (60x60cm) - my entry for Vienna Calling IV, with ArtCan, about reflection, refraction, kinetic sculptures floating in the air and catching the light - and the Pink Panther ❤️.

Spooky is off to Rottingdean tomorrow for ‘Down the the Bone II’, a show in aid of the charity, Paws - he is now a card; his fame grows.

Later that same day…

Back to work

My painting, ‘Murmuration Midst’ will be used as cover for a CD of choral work, raising positive awareness for Alzheimer’s.

The painting imagines the experience of a starling amid the wings of the murmuration’s dance, as it swoops over the ocean.
