This is a portrait of my daughter at 14, sitting on a chair with our cat. While the cat gazes outside, my daughter looks directly at us, creating an interesting dynamic. The technique blends drawing and painting. This oil painting is 12” x 16” on wood panel. #contemporarypainting

Euan Uglow's still-lifes were only realised after a slow, painstaking practice of observation, measurement, correction, and re-correction - left visible are the structural, geometric lines of symmetry used to create the perfectly proportioned and centred composition.

Watercolour showing a dining room facing a window. The table is shiny, and reflects the light form the outside. There is a phone and an envelope on the table. A Tiffany lamp (had to check the spelling). Also a pineapple on a side table casting a shadow on the wall. Monochrome tones of navy.

By Jacqueline Brison (1932-2006). It was painted around 1960. I love her bold outlines and vibrant colours.

I have the graphite tin by ArtGraf and I love it. There are also options in colour graphite that I haven’t tried yet. Hope you like it !

How to write: Stop not writing. Keep your butt in the chair. Write really bad small sections of the whole—passages, moments, episodes, memories—til you have an incredibly shitty 1st draft. Then take out the boring parts, the lies and pretensions. Then write a better 2nd draft.

Morning from Kyiv!
The night was calm here;
Not everywhere in Ukraine.
I read about 103 drones.

I had a #warcoffee

A factory chimney blows white smoke over a city painted in shades of blue. Some roofs are covered in snow.

Smoke over the city in January. Or is it steam?
