lovely day at the witches Beltane festival at the Tam O'Shanters Farm on Sunday.

Sales were a bit disappointing - location I think, last year I was in the courtyard and sold more than I ever have, this time in the play area - just didn't work for me. Still lovely day in the sun.

Blood Moon rises.
Persephone walks.
The toad speaks through the tree—old magic, deep roots.
Sheep guide the liminal path.
Snowdrops bloom. The underworld exhales.
This is a threshold. Step through.

Today's market bombed. Ah well, onwards and upwards 🙏🙏🙏

So let's show off my latest wood slice paintings.

The Green Man watches, serene and knowing, woven from oak, ivy, and light. A guardian of the in-between, he invites you to listen, to remember. Lush, dreamy, and full of magic—step closer.
Framed prints tomorrow at The Night Market, Content, 5:30 PM.

I finally managed to treat mesen to an iPad (9th gen) and bought procreate. Mainly for digital using my art & editing for printing and to create references for paintings.
Here are some stickers I made while learning procreate 😍

Trying to decide whether to add a big crow at the top... or several smaller d more in keeping with scale... (tho obviously exaggerated the foxes size a bit)

Painted during a Milan Institute online workshop. I'm learning to paint looser with expressive marks.

I am very chuffed with this, it was a great deal of fun to paint and done entirely in paint straight to canvas, no initial drawing in pencil or charcoal first.

Snow and ice is preventing me from using my mobility scooter, so been trying to entertain the pooches indoors, with just loo breaks in the front yard. This afternoon, a lovely fella took Cin for a walk & she's so much happier now. plus she loves the snow!

Sorrow reflects the pain of failed dreams and disappointments, yet its warm tones and sunrise hint at joy and renewal.

This A3 acrylic mixed media painting blends vivid colours with emotional depth, making it a striking and meaningful addition to any space.

DM for details, no obligation.
