Still image of the robin featured in my reel- if you’re anything like me, you like to see the whole image without someone’s hand obscuring it!😂. This robin’s having a day off whilst I ponder whether he’s finished, he loves to stand around posing anyway!😂Oil on panel, 9” x12”.

Hope you had a good weekend whatever the weather! 😎🌦⚡️I got to spend time with my Mum for the first time in months!❤️🙌
This blackbird is one of a few pieces I started working on last week. I’ve been impatiently building up layers (I’m not good at being patient🙄) and seeing what happens!

#wip -since I was drawing on watercolour paper I decided to add… some watercolour! Not sure if I like it, but nothing ventured, nothing gained🤷‍♀️ charcoal & graphite on Arches Aquarelle hot pressed paper.

#wip Robin- we don’t have a “tame” robin in the garden just now- took me hours with a camera on a tripod & a remote to “capture” this to one paint 😂

Small Tortoiseshell Butterfly, oil on linen board.

Small Tortoiseshell Butterfly, oil on linen board. Butterflies used to be so common, but I fear their demise is indicative of the fate of many other, less noticeable insect species. These days we have less “meadow” & more “Meadow Close/Avenue/View” etc. Britain has, apparently, lost 97% of its meadows since the 1930s. Meadows arose from traditional farming practices, but changes to these have contributed to the massive decline. Biodiverse meadows and grasslands now cover only 1% of the country!! (Check out @plantlife.loveplants for more info).🦋🐛🐝🪲

WIP - a little #mementomori emerging on the canvas - not that I need reminding of the inevitability of death.🤦‍♀️ This deer skull (probably a roe deer as they’re common round here) was discovered when I was searching for something else in the potting shed. I think it may have been there for more than 20 years!

Another experiment- oil painting over a drawing on

Another experiment- oil painting over a drawing on paper- this time I used a clear gesso by @liquitexofficial to seal the paper instead of PVA. It offers a ‘high tooth’ surface which holds a lot of paint, so most of the drawing was obliterated. Good fun to experiment with!

A studio clean up resulted in this piece being rediscovered & resurrected. She’s the sister to Shell Head & Pine Cone head (!) on swipe- AKA Nereid & Dryad, & it’s time I finished her! Might call her Krystal😝

Oil (on drawing) on paper. Whilst I was painting,

Oil (on drawing) on paper. Whilst I was painting, it occurred to me that the transparent areas are actually tinted -similar to the process of tinting a black & white photo. Which brought to mind my great grandparents’ likenesses from the 1930s, & my Grandpa’s photo tinting set (on swipe). He was a keen photographer, & I think, liked to paint.
If I’d have had more confidence this would work, I think I would have taken the drawing further, as I found myself wanting to keep a lot of it untouched. Next time I may try clear gesso instead of the pva.🤔

*The paper is cream coloured Stonehenge but it’s a dark day & my phone can’t cope!
