Due to many cliffs surrounding Hastings we have a pebbly beach, which has its advantages and one of them is finding gems like this one. The unique shape comes from the flowing sea water washing over it. Pebbles along with other natural materials act as a sea defence against coastal erosion, very important for the environment, therefore you could be fined for stashing these small pieces of joy into your pockets #naturesdesign #shapesandcolors #pebblebeach

The day started with a run, the sun was out but was covered with a layer of mist, which stayed around for most of the day. I came back with the intention of taking a few photos, but after a coffee felt like painting. The pine cone in the photo is painted with ink and I’m thinking of taking the artwork to a much bigger size. What do you think? #ideasonpaper #workinprogressart #inkpainting

Inspiration. I have a box full of grasses, flowers, lichen and lots more from my walks and travels, a great resource of shapes and textures to draw and paint from #inspiredbynature_ #seekinspirecreate #capturingbeauty

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
