My paintings etc. Camb Drawing Soc twice a year since 1983. Lots of gallery shows in the past but a little disinvolved now owing to age. Occasional low-price studio sales to visitors. My urban garden is a wildlife haven.

Thank you, that is the period covering most of the novels and biography that I read. I fear that good illustrations of the Victorian and Georgian period would be somewhat beyond my ability but thank you for the thought!

Agree. Let it do so on a continual loop until it has achieved a karmic state of fuckedoffness.

Oils, watercolour, gouache, permanent inks, soft pastels, sometimes oil pastel. I don't use acrylic partly because it dries fast and ruins brushes (also I have a lot of oil paints and I don't want to start buying something completely different. So basically I love traditional media!

I've been busy bringing in all the tender plants in pots and containers: also planting bulbs. As you know my garden is not a tidy space! I've been pruning trees to let in more light to benefit paintable flowers. Studio is full of plants and I have lots of seeds waiting! Still life work coming...

Thank you Harold for your interest and your comment. I do have a website but I'm happy leaving it fairly primitive. Trading online can be so time-consuming. I'm happy with the handful of sales I get per year from people who see the actual paintings in real life.

That's lovely! Here's another watercolour from a slightly different vantage point (1994). Both of these were sold.

Thank you Pam! I'm pleased with these. The botanist owner of this house has a couple of my watercolours. It has been one of our regular sketching venues but I'm reconciled to not being able to go to most of them now without a car. Never mind, I'm growing lots of flowers to paint!

Our beaches and rivers were the cleanest they'd been for decades in the last years of our membership of the EU. Nigel Farage and Boris Johnson should be compelled to drink the water they poisoned.

It'll be reversed so save money by putting the old signs in a cupboard somewhere. It's like having a department of disease instead of a department of disease prevention.
