I’ve got a couple of robins on the easel today, but here’s a piece from the weekend- wall brown butterfly, oil on panel, approx 6 x 6 inches🧡

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, 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!

Hope you’re having a good week- this is a piece I’ve been working on, in between visits to the vets’ & looking after my poorly geriatric dog. 🐾 On swipe, a handy tip for getting a pee sample from a dog...

I found this ancient tube of “Chrome Orange” and knew it reminded me of something! The berberis was here when we moved in so not sure of its name, might be Berberis trigona 'Orange King’ -it’s buzzing with bees despite the cold weather.
Chrome Orange is nice in its own way,but I doubt you can still buy it (in UK anyway) as it’s made from lead chromate.
On swipe, pictured with some more (modern) oranges, interesting in their own right. (🧡All but the Chrome Orange & Permanent Orange are mixtures of pigments.🧡)

Saying it with flowers, “Happy Easter”.😁 I meant for this to be a bit looser than it turned out, but I can always rely on a supply of dandelions to if I want to paint more!

I’m painting some dandelions against a background of local Westmorland slate, so it seemed appropriate to use my old tube of @wallace_seymour Honister Pass Green Slate. Nice texture to it too👌

Too sunny to be inside all day, so did some pond cleaning & found some baby newts (on swipe- they went straight back in the pond ). Apparently juvenile newts are called “efts” once they’ve absorbed their gills & can leave the water.🌼☀️🌼

Hope everyone gets a little sunshine this weekend!

Hope everyone gets a little sunshine this weekend! 😎Little oil study of Moss rose ‘William Lobb’ from @david_austin_roses . This rose dates back to 1855, has a strong fragrance and fades beautifully from deep magenta through to shades of purple.

Started this little (6”x6”) oil study today- rose from bouquet via @sainsburys - it’s going to be some time before the garden yields any roses!

More yellow...daffodils on the easel today, (oil on panel). I might tone some of the green in the petals down tomorrow-think I’ll sleep on it! 🤔 I was going to start painting some dandelions today, but I only have 4 flowers fully open in the garden as yet! Quite looking forward to the dandelion clocks tbh🙂
I made some pretty evil smelling garlic drench at the weekend in an attempt to keep the deer off the precious things of the garden (don’t stand upwind of it when spraying!😬). It’s supposed to protect against the likes of slugs and lily beetles too, we’ll see!

#wip I’m painting Coltsfoot today, an edible plant/herb/weed. Its flowers come out before its leaves appear, and it’s reputed to be one of the best herbs for soothing the respiratory system, making a good cough syrup. The flowers are similar to dandelions but smaller -
I might be painting dandelions after I’ve finished this one, seem to have plenty of them!😳
