There were unexpected complications, but I managed to save a few slices.

This is a coffee painting of a pumpkin diving helmet sitting on the sea floor amongst shells and coral, accompanied by weird fish and an acorn squid.

About last night…

Panorama of sunset reflections in the Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis Reservoir, Central Park.

This is an experiment - it will probably only work properly in Flashes, so best viewed there - swipe the image to the left to see the whole panorama.

A tiny house on a hill. There is a tree leaning out from behind and to the right of the house, a large creature behind and to the left. Birds and chimney on the roof. The chimney is missing some stones, but smoke still rises from it. Watercolor on toned paper.

A gestural abstract of the lake at Asthall manor - foliage and sky reflected in the serene depths as breezes periodically agitated the water’s surface - a ballet of water bound nymphs and dryads entrapped and enveloped forever in cool fluidity

Reflections at Burford - the results of yesterday’s study with Kieran stiles at the beautiful Asthall Manor… think I might work this one up onto a canvas and play with it a bit more… #art #watercolour #acrylic #texture #pleinairpril

I’m obsessed with reflections and water - and this was fun

Digital drawing in white ink against a black background of two wrens, small, roundish songbirds with short, perky tails. They are facing each other on some branches and one has its mouth open as though talking or singing while the other looks on with smiling approval.

Illustration countdown to #WrensAria publication!

52/52 Wrens are one of my favorite birds. It was a delight to write an entire book about a very plucky & courageous one. I suppose it is a spoiler to post this final drawing which shows Wren being welcomed home, but don't we need some happy endings?

Pen drawing of a silhouetted figure with a halo like head piece standing under an arch of arcane symbols while three pillars of stone float on either side of them. They are standing under a stram of energy that foes into an eye shaped sun like structure while two orbs of light use that structure as the apex of a triangle. 
The ground is a series of branch and root like structures spreading into a platform the figure stands on

The first vibrant green growth on the end of a branch of a lilac bush. The leaves are very brightly colored, and in the midst of unfurling.

This is the most lush, the most vibrant green I think I've ever seen.
