I was drawn to your photograph because of your composition, the colours, the light and focus. That's talent. I just sit in the warm and paint! Will keep you posted 😊

I paint in oil and have some lush new paints I've been saving for the right composition. Again, I'm really grateful 😊

That's really kind of you, thank you 😊 Of course I will credit your photo when I post my work. Such beautiful creatures. Your photo really captured that moment of alert listening + I wanted to try and capture that in paint!

This is such a beautiful photo and composition. Would it be ok if I used your photo as reference for a painting? I'm an amateur painter who displays a few painting in my local cafe. Understand if that's not possible.

Fox acrylic on 12 inch round canvas. Art lovers, I have lots of paintings that can be paid in 3 instalments, perfect for Christmas gifts. Also, for US customers, artwork is exempt from tariffs.

My magnolia is doing weird things. In twenty years it's never produced whatever this is? Fruit?

Elgar's Dream of Gerontius conducted by Kazuki Yamada with the wonderful CBSO + CBSO chorus who were phenomenal.
Sadly no Toby Spence but Benjamin Hulett was brilliant, as were Jess Dandy and Roderick Williams.

Having Grayson's voice in your ear explaining his work and how art can heal was really moving. Have a lovely time! ✨

Just been to the Wallace Collection, Hertford House. Grayson Perry exhibition there that takes some of the magnificent works and reimagines them. Love link between 18th century collection and modern times. Clever, thought-provoking but totally accessible.

Grayson Perry: Delusions of Grandeur

Book your ticket for our upcoming major exhibition, Grayson Perry: Delusions of Grandeur.

A chubby crucian carp on the way. Found a lovely little oval frame so painting this on acrylic primed cardboard. Who knows if this will work!
Lots to do and some hornwort weed for movement.

Just finished Hardy's Two on a Tower. Beautiful, heart breaking and such rich detail of nature and place. A Margery Allingham lined up next, Mystery Mile.
