Thank you to my friends for the encouraging words this past week 💙

My latest painting was inspired by the coast, water, movement, anemone, seaweed, connections and the cosmos

Acrylic on board ✨

I finished this drawing today: a hermit thrush. It’s one of my favourite local birds: they are a bit shy and sound like flutes in the trees. #Birds #SciArt
Coloured pencil drawing of a small brown and white bird with dark spots on the chest, perched on the branch of a conifer.

‘Provisional Atlas’

From a series about #memory. Recording, erasing, rewriting, reworking while creating a history; leaving on the surface a gist of what’s important.

‘Lavender fields under cloudy June skies’. Acrylic on 6”x4” canvas. Painted this yesterday whilst remembering the fields near Shoreham in southern England where I used to have picnics. Nice to think of them now the Toronto winter has hit. Day 15 of the #ArtAdventCalendar
#natureart #canadianartist
Lavender fields are all around a Tudor farmhouse, backed by poplar trees. A green lawn to the left of the house and white morning glory flowers at front complete the painting.

Day 15 of #ArtAdventCalendar
I love the challenge of controlling alcohol inks, but also letting them do their beautiful thing in combination. Inspired by my home. 🇨🇦😊☀️
"Majesty" alcohol inks on ceramic tile 4x4

#Art #AlcoholinkPainting #ArtYear #MountainArt #TreeArt
Alcohol ink painting featuring a stylized mountain scene, against a blue sky with a large orange sun in it. Purple, white capped mountains are stacked on the left side and stretch into the distance. On the right is a grove of various shapes of green trees with four oblong magenta ones among them. A large stylized evergreen is in the centre with smaller evergreens to the left in front of the base of the first mountain. A waterfall flows down into a river running between the large tree and the grove. Small pink flowers grow on one of the green hills in the foreground.

I do wish there was a Label warning for Flashing images but there isn’t so I’ve gone with Adult 🤦‍♀️

Anyway. Warning ⚠️ it’s about as flashy as you can get I think but I thought it looked cool

The kettle boils!

Progress shot of the latest #embroidery! I always find depicting water reflections to be an interesting challenge, and it’s a bit part of this one.

Still falling hydrangea - yesterday

Golden brown autumn hydrangea accented by sparse bokeh leaves of the same colour still clinging to large trees behind. The setting sun gives a blue tone to the sky snowy ground.

Watercolour painting in a woodland, with an interesting wooden footbridge over a stream. This is the second version: I gave the first version to the person who owned these grounds but she has since moved. I hope it's a nice reminder for her.

The legend of St. Brigid and the Fox tells how the Irish saint, known for her love of animals, saved a condemned man by using a wild fox to impersonate the King of Leinster's beloved pet fox, which the man had accidentally killed.
Art my own.

Did you know you can put your favourite pet photo on one of my hoodies?
A fabulous gift idea for any pet owner.

My son and I made Christmas wreaths at Arley Hall on Saturday. I now have a new respect for florists ! Lovely way to spend an afternoon as well as seeing the decorated hall and Xmas artisan fair.

A few of the many 10s of thousands of workers being let go. I’m retiring Jan 2nd, 2026. My job, TV News photographer will be open. Apply now at WJBF.com. The job is in Augusta, GA. You will likely be covering the Masters Golf Tournament. I’ve been there about 40 yrs. It’s a pretty good place 2 work.
