A print called The Test at Freefolk featuring a trout, grasses, a church and river.

Sold a Test at Freefolk print the other day, to a very nice man. I don't sell a lot of these because they are of local interest only I suppose. Anyway I made this print in reaction to the terrible road sign they have around here.

Morning frost in a field

Sunrise over a frosty field

Frosty sunrise from the English countryside, a perfect winter's morning in Hampshire.

Planning for the next tapestry weaving project. Seasonal, natural colours reflecting those found in a winter riverine landscape.

High water in a tidal river flowing under a multi-arched stone bridge. Distant marshland and a railway track running along the bank on the right. The scene is weakly sunlit, but with a stormy sky.

High water and winter sunlight this morning at Old Redbridge, #Southampton, #RiverTest, #weather #photo

At long last I managed to do some paper lithography on the theme of #chalkstreams, after taking a walk along the #RiverTest. These will help to inspire future tapestry designs

Absolute revelation yesterday about how different Wessex #chalkstreams are from my local East Anglian ones. Thanks to Alison Field for the guided tour, providing snapshots of 7 miles of the River Test from Chilbolton Cow Common down to Horsebridge Road. #RiverTest #Hampshire🧵1/4
