Ink spring flower for Friday. The sun is shining and this morning after a run I spent time on the beach with a tasty coffee and the gentle sound of lapping waves. I returned to the studio relaxed and with an eagerness to paint #paintingday #seasonchange #springflower

Looking through my photos I found this little clip

Looking through my photos I found this little clip, it took me back to an afternoon last summer spent @_art_on_sea and @boatyardhastings having coffee with friends. If you have the sound on you can hear in the background people talking. I normally don’t take much notice of background noise, but it really touched me today. All the noises I never missed, but I do now #momentscaptured #tofriendship #lockdownthoughts

Ink lines forming a memory from yesterday’s walk and recording ideas for future paintings. It’s a cold morning, lighting the fire and finding a book to read will make my Sunday. Have a restful day #sketchdrawing #inklines #inkandpen

A slow day, thinking lots and reading about composition. Found a few dried sea holly in the studio and stuck them to a shell, creating one big sea holly, which makes for an interesting shape. Has your day brought you anything new? #artinspirations #shapesandcolours #keepcreating

The snow has gently fallen with a light covering, I was wishing for a lot more, maybe later. A big clear out has left some space in the studio, so I am able to put up the easel without tripping over any obstacles, feels good. The picture of flower leaves was inspired by a beautiful tiny flower I saw last summer on a walk in Hastings country park. It’s made up of many ink dots and is 29.7 x 42 cm in size. Please DM me or email info@obiko.co.uk for price or any other details. Have a wonderful Sunday #inkdotsandart #abstractart #artandinteriorsolutions

The evenings are beginning to be noticeably lighter and the feeling of the new year slowly opening up feels me with a sense of a relief. Maybe that’s why this week, I’ve been looking at how I can make small changes to the way I work and what I focus on. The painting of wild flowers is made up of ink and oil crayon on a gorgeous soft Fabriano paper #abstractflowers #mixedmediaart #marksonpaper

Sunday sees the last day of January and welcomes a chocolate and walnut cake I have in the oven. A bunch of flowers on the easel sets off the afternoon, before I fall into a cake slumber. What’s your day looking like? #artandcake #sundayart #artistslife
