Bluetits on sunflowers. Its the time of year when the birds feast on the leftover crops. Pastel on Canson Velvet with an acrylic ink underpainting. 30x20cm #birds #allotmentlife

Pastel painting of a pair of blue tit birds sitting on the stalks of old sunflowers. It’s the time of year when they feast on the left over crops and sunflower seeds are a favourite.

Cyclists chasing sunrise near Rambouillet — the final stretch of Paris-Brest-Paris, captured in soft pastel. A tribute to endurance, light, and the open road.

It’s such a nice thing to mark the year by the appearance of seasonal wild flowers and passage of migratory birds.

It’s the perfect time for a wild cyclamen cycle , if you know where to find them.

I spent the weekend taking part in the Art Festival at Magné. It’s a fabulous event, painting ‘en Pleinair’ alongside 150+ other artists whilst 1000s of art lovers stroll by and chat with you creates a wonderful atmosphere and great energy. It’s what the world needs more of.
