wow, i can't believe this is happening..

wow, really

Roses and rose hips, passion flowers and fruit, plume poppy leaves and some small shells. Probably painted late September 1990 when all these would have been available from the garden.

I promise I'm working on some new still life watercolours but here's another old one, quite large and sold ages ago. Not a good reproduction as it is scanned from a photo print of the original but an example of the large flower paintings I was producing 30+ yrs ago (see alt text) #watercolour

An oil painting of mixed flowers in a vase is being completed on an easel in the studio. Other objects included are glass bottles amd shells

A flower still life in oil on gessoed board from nearly a decade ago (sold). The camera distorts the difference in size between the painting and the subject but gets the colour pretty acurately (an excellent DMC-LX5- still in use)

The gents' outfitters on the left is no longer in Trinity Street. The grey shop frontage in the middle distance is Heffers, a wonderful bookshop: long may it survive. I think this one is sold.

An old watercolour sketch of Cambridge Trinity Street. I must admit that populating the streets with people in their may ball finery did well for sales at a time when I really needed the money!

Zinnia

A single bloom of an orange zinnia, surrounded by wide green leaves. There are rain drops on the leaves and on the outer petals of the flower. The inner petals are not yet fully opened and they are a light cream colour where they are still curled.

A tight macro photograph of a clustered purple wildflower made up of many tiny star-shaped blossoms, sharply focused against a soft, dark green background that fades smoothly out of focus.

A compact cluster of tiny purple flowers stands out against a soft, muted background, letting color and repetition do the work.

If you enjoy noticing small details like this, I’m glad you’re here — feel free to share it along.

Six fishermen who cast a line in the frozen Saguenay River in the Canadian province of Quebec worked for more than two hours to reel in an Atlantic halibut that broke local records. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/07/w...

I know it’s been a while (sorry) and it’s not even great light to show you, but I’ve just finished my first embroidery of 2026. 😊 I hope it was with the wait and that you enjoy!🪡🌿🦉✨

Just one flower left on the Amaryllis. It gave us two stems and many flowers.

My amaryllis on my kitchen window - looking good! #flowers #amaryllis
