You are so kind & thoughtful AND a wonderful poet and artist Evalyn. Hope things are good with you. Here’s a classic for National Poetry Day

I got round to writing a substack post - looking at paint as a way in & out of the news, and a visit to the Noah Davis exhibition at the Barbican Centre yesterday.

Ways to walk into a new year perhaps

winter trees
invite light
from murky to incandescent
& today
I saw the soft plumage
of a gigantic buzzard
in close up
it was waiting in a bough
for something to move

As November draws to a close, people in our street are called upon to find a date in December they’ll feature in a window decoration. This year I got 13th & I cut out a pet quartet- our cat & dog with guest mouse & goose vocalist. Happy Holidays!

Thank you very Sebastian! Here are the faded cornflowers as they toughed it out under November’s skies in Brockwell Park... #pleinair

I got stuck on a Sunday night with a broken down car in Cirencester & treated myself to dinner in a pub. Here’s my accompanying watercolour #bleakmidwinter

Yep it’s all a gogo apparently - welcome to this thing. There are loads of poets piling on & it’s a right scramble 🤞🍁💕🤓

Thanks Katrina - here’s a blue sky for you. With a sea of blue cornflowers beneath, poets? A place to swim in the air.
