I was very sad to hear of the demise of B.B.King today. He’s kept me company in the studio for many years (on the iPod!). Sad day. Here’s another demo piece from this week’s workshops. I’m going off line for a couple of weeks while I do some travelling, finish up work for Patchings and Childwickbury and hopefully get round the Moonwalk tomorrow night. Wish me luck and see you in two weeks.

Two great days of workshops – exhausting but very enjoyable and some fantastic work produced. I managed to finish this demo piece off in the studio today. I’m hoping for some sun tomorrow before I miss the rape season.

Busy painters. Oh no! One’s escaped.
Still dazed by the surprise election results, I hid in the studio and put my mind to some asparagus. This my favourite time of the culinary year….can’t get enough of the stuff. Am trying out a watermark app which is why my name is plastered on the image. Any interesting recipes always welcome. Pop them in my comments box if you please. Have a lovely weekend. Workshops on Monday and Tuesday so no post till mid-week.

The other evening, I fought off the urge to paint bluebells and went back instead to this road where I’d done a practice walk with the WTW group. Lovely spot and I love rape fields.

New frames from South africa
A request for more King’s blue…yay. This colour makes me happy. Now I have five lemons in my fridge and no time to bake a cake. Any ideas for some quick way to use them up?
I was thrilled today to receive my delivery of frames that I found on my trip to South Africa. They are made from recycled wood by a company that aims to get local, previously unemployed people from a hope centre, into training and work. I love them!

Gorgeous recycled wood frames
It’s Friday! Hope you’re all looking forward to the Bank Holiday. I have a long, long practice walk scheduled for Monday. Feeling tired already! Here are some more hellebores. Have a lovely weekend.
