How much rain?! 🌧️ Raining cats and dogs here in #oxfordshire for the past 24 hours. 😩
Is it as soggy where you are as it is here?

Before we moved house, I did loads of 'life laundry'. But I hadn't done enough!
Today I've been going thru many-decades-old portfolios. I've kept a bit, but chucked loads. These are exercises from my time at college more than 40 years ago. 😱
I drew A LOT in the olden days.

#MovingHouse! The contents of my kitchen are packed except for essential tea-making paraphenalia. #Tea has punctuated my day of packing & cleaning with deliciousness & a chance to sit down.

Here’s my latest the #GreenMan wall sculpture, fresh out of the kiln at The Chicken Run Studio, #Eynsham, #Oxfordshire.

I’ll add some wires on the back & then he’ll be ready to hang in somebody’s garden somewhere. Yours, perhaps?

🪸 Coral Garden III 🐙 Ft. Larger Pacific Striped Octopus ❤️

#ArtYear #Art #ArtGallery #Sculpture #Octopus #MarineLife #CoralReef #ArtSale #BSNM #Invertebrates 🦑🐡
A mixed media artwork featuring hand sculpted octopuses and corals patiently crafted from tiny glass beads. The octopuses on this piece depict the species Larger Pacific Striped Octopus, a dark brown and white octopus with an iconic bar stripe spot pattern. The corals are warm golden, green and a muted purple. Everything is built around a vintage tea cup that lies on its side in the saucer, and now serves as a little octopus den.

Here's a #BlastFromThePast for #WaterfallWednesday: "#Dipper in the rapids" from six summers ago.

We sat happily for hours by a rushing #river in #Norway, picnicking, sketching, taking photos, watching the #birds.

What to do on a miserable day? Hang out with a chum in her #homepotterystudio. While I glaze my new #GreenMan sculpture, Alison paints her goldfinches.

I pray to the #KilnGods - be kind...🙏

It's getting harder to find #goodnews to post, so I'm going to supplement with baby animals on these types of days... because there's enough people posting the world's troubles.

So enjoy a baby aardvark! 💗💙💗

Nick from the Southern Counties #AustinHealey Club contacted me to ask if he could use a small section from my 'Counties of Southern England #Map' on their website. Of course! Everyone loves a classic #britishsportscar!
