Sunset – Ramblings of a (very!) amateur artist

“LarryBird’sMullet”

I’m not even sure where to start. The wonderful sights and sounds. The sea air. The wind (oh my gosh the wind!) and the rain. The birds and beasts. The wonder of this Scottish island. Perhaps I should start with a title explanation, for I’m talking about the beautiful Isle of Mull which I wasContinue reading ““LarryBird’sMullet””

Dry January

How would I summarise January… I’d say it really is the hardest month of the year. Well, for me anyway. And that’s mainly due to the light I think. So little time to squeeze walks in before/after work. Especially when you’re busy. A year ago, it was a little different – going out for aContinue reading “Dry January”

A little ramble

I have a couple of confessions to make. Firstly, I’m still here! Secondly, I’d say I probably got to the end of the 2nd January 2022 when I realised that I’d miss writing my weekly posts.

A trip to the Welsh coast was definitely the huge highlight of the fortnight, but IContinue reading “356 Days Wild: Weeks 43 & 44 (including a trip to Wales!)”

356 Days Wild: Week 40

Oh my lordy! We’re onto Week 40! Another busy week but my acts of wildness kept me sane (just about). These were some of my favourite wild highlights: 🍄 Learning some weird and wonderful fungi🐦 Watching the pied wagtails🕊 Spying on some redwings🐴 Being totally mesmerised by a flock of golden plovers (I think!) onContinue reading “356 Days Wild: Week 40”

Pastel, baby pastel

As you can probably guess, this one is about pastels. I don’t think I’ve written about pastels before and, to be honest, I’m pretty scared of using them. But I’ve been trying them out more and wanted to share a couple of pieces with you. First things first. I think the title deserves a littleContinue reading “Pastel, baby pastel”
