Windblown thorn
I love trees that have been shaped by the wind, twisted and lopsided. They feel like real survivors.

Last show tonight I think, alas, but from yesterday's episode I opted for Alice's tent.
Trouble is, I'm using terrible paper which makes it almost impossible...

Oscar
To my horror, a friend asked me to paint his mother's cat Oscar, as a present. Promised I'd have a go and here it is. Not sure if it will be ok but (to me) it looks a bit like him.🤞

Dales barn
I loved this barn, but sadly watched it crumble from neglect.
Also I've run out of watercolour paper, so am using some rubbish w/c paper ... that doesn't seem to absorb water!🤨

Raven
Today, you may have seen, is #NationalRobinDay!

Well I did a robin the other day. Also, I've been banished from painting at the dining table (covid) & painting on my lap isn't easy.🦉

Rough weather on the coast
From a wonderful, blustery day with @SAOCousins; big skies, running tides, wind whipping over the sand, gulls far out at the water's edge... and a narrow channel of water separating sand and shingle...
