Leaves in my sketch book. A little morning calm, before clearing, tidying and putting in order a room which needs much attention. I’m on a mission to only have what’s really necessary in my life #makingroomforless #sketchbookart #sketchingonasunday

It’s early Monday morning and I’m at Gatwick airport. Due to a delayed flight and train engineering works, I’ve missed my connecting train home to Hastings, it’s also raining. This photo was taken yesterday afternoon in Athens. The sun was bright, colours were vibrant on the vine leaves, entwined around oranges and I had just eaten a very tasty feta salad, It all was looking pretty good and I had even managed to stave off that post Brexit feeling, until now and it’s all hit a little too hard. This photo, warms my heart and along with the many cups of strong coffee to keep me awake, until the next train in a few hours, I think today will be okay. Have a good week everyone #keepinghope #naturespallette #evokingafeeling

One to be finished. I’m getting much better at being able to leave paintings to come back to. In the past, if I started to paint or draw, it had to be finished that day or I would feel so unsettled. I’m changing my practise and it feels okay #making changes #paintingflowers #sundaypainting #makingchanges

Sunday 1st December and we’re close to seeing in a new decade. I’m not quite at the reminiscing stage yet, but I do have a couple of new projects planned for 2020. The first project, I’m pleased to say, will be starting soon. I will be painting and drawing live in stores, botanical spaces, gardens and anywhere really that has plants and trees. All original artwork, can then be bought on the day. My first venue is @reste in Hastings next Saturday 7th from 4-7pm during Hastings Old Town Christmas Weekend. My second project, I’ll divulge to you in the New Year. Have a peaceful Sunday #newprojects #artisttravels #storiesofanartist

A little retail therapy for me this week. There is a lot I love about Hastings, the friendliness of the people, the beach, the fun festivals and processions and I could go on. I also enjoy looking around all the independent shops, it’s quite something. In my 14 years of living here, I’ve seen restaurants, bars and shops come and go and without local support, it’s a difficult ride. This is a little dream of a shop amongst many, which sells antiques and clothing @sunless_antiques in St Leonards-on-Sea #buylocal #communityovercompetition #

Flowers and more flowers. Tentatively painting on canvas. For so long, I’ve shied away from this, but now I’m learning to enjoy the surface #newwork #abstractart #acryliconcanvas
