So nice to see this post by Brigit Strawbridge about my latest collagraph print ☺️

You’re a star Brigit! Thank you.x

Up at Bowland Knotts today.

That’s a wonderful image!

Thanks Brigit and happy new year. I’ve been a bit useless at keeping up on socials lately! I hope you and Rob had a lovely Christmas.x

Corbie, bran, cigfran…AKA the Raven! My latest collagraphs taking the mythology and the stories surrounding ravens as my inspiration.

Thanks ☺️

We didn’t see the salmon at Stainforth today but it was lovely to watch dippers & see some wax caps fungi.

Thanks to WomenArt for posting my collagraph Protected. It’s an older print but I’m still fond of it.

I made this a few weeks ago. It’s called Thought & Memory & is inspired by Odin’s ravens. It’s a collagraph that will be on show as part of my Collections project with Jodie Beszant & Charlotte Morrison in the exhibition ‘Charms & Murmurings’ at Ryedale Folk Museum this September.

That’s brilliant. It does make a big difference. I hadn’t realised how much until I got one done.

That looks great 😊 thanks for sharing the photo of it, I love seeing where & how people frame & hang my prints. I hope your OH loved it.

Thank you ☺️

Thank you.

Thank you.

Lovely to see my piece Hay Meadow shared on Blue Sky. I’m delighted to say that it was awarded the Chris Benefield Memorial Award at Printfest this year.

Thanks for sharing my work!

Thank you ☺️

Yesterday was World Curlew Day & I printed this new collagraph. It’s called Whaup & it represents the light & dark aspects of this beautiful bird as reflected in folklore & its status as a red listed bird. It’s a joy to hear them from my studio tinged with sadness that one day they may not return.

Thanks WomensArt for sharing my work. This is one of a series of hare collagraphs that I did a long time ago. They were inspired by a Seamus Heaney translation of a hunting poem with 72 names of the hare.

Thanks Julia ☺️

Highlights of the last few weeks: hawfinch at Tarn Howes, the dippers on the Ribble, swallows back in Horton-in-Ribblesdale & ring ouzels back on Penyghent.

I had a lovely day in the studio today with the sun steaming in whilst I was editioning Bird’s Eye View ready for Printfest. I could do with more days like that. Even the drilling from the builders next door didn’t annoy me 😁

WomensArt regularly posts my work. I’m really grateful for that. I’ve benefitted in a number of ways: financially via sales, increased followers & good contacts. They don’t need to ask my permission & they don’t need to tag me. I follow them & share their posts. It’s the least I can do.

Thanks for sharing this Chris. I live close by & was horrified when I heard what had happened. The crime took place not long after I’d been fortunate to see a short eared owl not far from there & it was soul destroying to hear that two had been deliberately killed.

Ha ha, I just noticed my mistake. It did help improve my procrastination skills no end 😁

Yay!! Keith is on Blue Sky! I don’t think this is going to help my procrastination 🤣 #BM100

What a day! Missed my run yesterday as I was in the studio until late so I went this morning before I started work. What a joy to run in daylight & sunshine! I saw dippers too but didn’t get photos. It’s cold but glorious 😊

🤣 it was great thank you and the rainbows were a very nice touch 😁

Thanks ☺️
