It broke! A chalk stone I found a few years ago on Botany Bay. I’ve used it as a prop many times and now it’s taken on another form #artform #beachfind #stonesculpture

A new mask to celebrate the New Year and to leave

A new mask to celebrate the New Year and to leave behind a year which has been unexpected and unwanted, but has brought people and a world together in happiness and in grief. Like many I’ve had to make a lot of difficult decisions which has not been easy, but I look forward to starting a new joint project next month called ‘12 paintings in 12 months’ a self explanatory title with a lot more besides. The project is going to be documented and filmed by Charles from @southcoastsquared my biggest venture to date and one I can’t wait to start!
I’ll be writing about it in more depth in my monthly newsletter along with all my other news which you can sign up for by following the link in bio.
For 2021 I wish you all a wonderful year with good health, laughter and love. Thank you for being here x #lastpost2020 #papermask #welcome2021

Feels good to be united with the dots again. I’ve noticed a lockdown habit has sneaked in, afternoon coffee with biscuits which I’ve enjoyed and look forward to, but today has turned into just biscuits...a slippery slope! artandbiscuits #enjoytheprocess #postcardart

A couple of weeks ago I bought myself a vintage set of children’s pencils from @thedirtyoldgallery a Christmas present from myself to me and I’m really happy that I did. Apart from being a little vintage smelly, these pencils are beautiful to work with, so soft and glide onto the page, ideal for all the scribbling @blackwing pencil was also used for the portraits a great pencil combination. As more of the country find themselves in tier 4, I hope you are all finding some festive light in some way. Enjoy the weekend #pencilportrait #gifttomyself #pencillove

The calm of the seagulls circling, making their own pattern in the sky. A little fact, one reason they circle like this, is so that they can adjust their sensors for balance and direction for their inbuilt barometer, if they don’t, they won’t be able to detect new changes in the air pressure #circlingseagulls #naturebrilliance #naturespatterns
