The end of this week couldn’t have been more different from the start. I got a good soaking on Monday but, by Sunday, was craving the shade. No wonder us Brits talk about the weather so much! Anyway, Week 27 of my wild adventure brought me:🌧 A wet walk by the River Thames🌺 A newContinue reading “356 Days Wild: Week 27”

Haribo
Not the sweets. Instead, this is about a dog. ‘Haribo’ isn’t this dog’s real name, but it is a very cute nickname for Harry, my friend’s adorable pet labrador. Not long before Christmas last year, this very close friend asked me if I’d like to have a go at drawing or painting Harry. He thoughtContinue reading “Haribo”
You curl if you want to…
…The curlew’s not for curling. I’m sorry. I have absolutely no explanation for that one. When I was thinking about writing this post, that’s what popped into my head. The original Maggie Thatcher saying is likely to make some people angry. It doesn’t even make sense. Then again, lots of my ‘sayings’ don’t… Ok, so,Continue reading “You curl if you want to…”
The Fledgling
I’ve not been in a very positive mood over the past couple of days. In fact, other the last few weeks, I’ve been feeling more and more overwhelmed and hopeless in our new Covid world. In an attempt to snap me out of this, I thought back to June when I did a daily ‘actContinue reading “The Fledgling”
An encounter with Ms Atalanta
I’m sure some (most) of you are wondering what on earth this post is going to be about. I don’t blame you. Sometimes, titles for posts come into my head instantly. Other times, I just hit a brick wall. This time I was somewhere in between. And I think the origin of the title willContinue reading “An encounter with Ms Atalanta”
They all have a story to tell!
I have to say, I never thought I’d create as much artwork as I have recently. The confidence boost I’ve received from sharing my work with family, friends, colleagues and on social media has really reignited a passion that I thought had died a long time ago. At the moment, I’m doing a lot ofContinue reading “They all have a story to tell!”
The ‘Tortoise Dove’
Allow me to introduce you to the ‘Tortoise Dove’… Ok, there’s no such thing as a tortoise dove. It’s a fiction. A figment of my imagination. But if its real cousin – the turtle dove – continues as it has over the last few decades, it’ll soon only exist in our imaginations too. So whyContinue reading “The ‘Tortoise Dove’”
‘The Wave’
A couple of weeks ago, some people at work thought it would be a good idea to set a challenge. They tasked the team with creating something that represents their ‘daily commute’ to work. Like a lot of people, we’re all working from home. It was supposed to be inventive, creative, tongue in cheek. IContinue reading “‘The Wave’”
Ramblings of a (very!) amateur artist
