#unsoliciteddockpix - more tiny art - on the way back from a medical appt I could have done without given I feel ill
I didn’t like this one much, so I faffed with it when I got home. I need to practise buildings, but multi media will save a multitude of sins. And sometimes you just need to like it

Me and my feetz and some paints at Eden Dock at Canary Wharf, after eating a tuna salad in a sunbeam. Bit of fun in my spare time when I was working up a commish the rest of the time

The final piece - expressive multicoloured sky with gold “northern lights” and headlands coming to the fore eventually seeing dark rocks and foliage and trees up front

A beautiful goldfinch commission for a BlueSky customer. Loved doing this one. Not least cos it was dad’s fave bird and felt like a gift from the beyond for me as well as the client - and made a new friend in the process :)

An ambitious Klimt commission featuring my witch and wizard friends and their gazillion frogs immortalised on the cape. The one waggling his frogging junk is my fave. Cos Willies!

June saw me busting out all over with more #unsoliciteddockpix, pebble portrait commissions and a Klimt Kiss witchy commission… love this cormorant. It was a fishing cormorant that drew me to painting at the dock in the first place #myartyear #art

The start of my Canada Goose art drawn at the beautiful dock. I found my happy place here despite EVERYTHING more challenging in the year of continuing grief and sadness. Dad loved birds, he would love these

May saw the #unsoliciteddockpix series start. I had terrible toothache and everything felt awful but I found feathery muses down at Eden Dock and it became my joy to paint them. It started silly, and swiftly got less WAK… #myartyear #art

I can’t wait till spring

My lovely Canada Goose painting/mixed media piece from earlier this year…

GEESES - which background do you prefer?

De minimis IS making me get my ARSE in gear. So, on request, I’m making the #unsoliciteddockpix into prints as well. Apparently within a year I’ll have no income cos AI, and Europe/US red tape.
Pls send enough money so I can eat Frazzles till I pop :) #birds

Incidentally, a cormorant made me want to paint here. I’d had a traumatic dentist appt where the anaesthetic failed. I called my bonus Mum and wailed down the phone - but a cormorant caught a fish and pulled me out of it! And I thought. Isn’t this lovely… so #unsoliciteddockpix wuz born #birds 🪶

Work in progress of a cormorant on the dock at Canary Wharf. Detail to come with lovely reflections in the water and the contrast of the hues of the feathers all brown and blue and the yellow and TURQUOISE of that EYE

Today we’re all about this lovely Cormorant. Remember that turquoise paint I bought that I DIDN’T NEED? Well. This is the most expensive dot ever… #painting #unsoliciteddockpix #ducklands #canarywharf #birds #cormorant 🪶

Watercolour/mixed media of Great crested Grebe with serene dock in the background in blurry depth of focus… 

Get a feel of dreamy deep green contrasts with highlight ripples reflecting skyscraper detail in abstract, and beautiful bird with gingery to black crest and as yet indistinct plumage - it is extending one foot back, being seen in motion, swimming
