Huge thanks to @harpercollins.bsky.social for this proof of #AttentionAllShipping, which looks like a heartbreaker. Out in May.

I expect you're wondering how I'm getting on with my #ShippingForecast #painting... Pretty well!
And the time I spend painting it is just #SailingBy. I might finish it this weekend. Keep watching!

Lots more typography going in & trying to keep the composition coherent.

...and suddenly, when I've covered enough white space, the #painting begins to take on its own life.

#shippingforecast a lullaby of the words, a prayer to the #Weather Gods.

Some progress on my latest composition. Today I'll be #painting in boats & ships. On my list is: a passenger ferry, fishing boat, lifeboat, HMS Beagle, container ship & a yacht. What have I forgotten?
