I made myself a grey glass palette. I'm finding it hard to get started so I am getting things ready so I will have no excuses.

A rectangular sheet features irregular black ink blotches, outlined with white and yellow stitch-like zig-zag patterns, creating an abstract, organic, and textured design on a light background.

A rectangular piece of paper with the word STENCIL outlined in large letters. The background is filled with blended yellow, orange, and green watercolour splashes.
Today the charity shop yielded the treasure of a set of stencils. I tried them out here and I think they might be useful in the Meanwhile Garden. One pound well spent

Abstract painting with vertical, irregular green brushstrokes over a background of vibrant colors, including orange, yellow, blue, red, and purple. The lines overlap and create a layered, dynamic effect.
The textured nature of the greens inspired me to find a way to set them off to their best advantage. The solid matt density of my new gouache paints were just the job. New?? Some of these paints were with me at Art Collec in the 1970's.

Watercolour painting of three abstract pink tulip flowers with green and grey vertical backgrounds, blending colours and soft edges in an impressionistic style.
We have just past the time when the tulips and magnolias have been blooming.

A painting of a single dark gray and black flower with a yellow-green stem on a muted green background. The flower petals are abstract and slightly textured, giving a bold, expressive look.
A homage to my favourite artist
Georgia O'Keeffe. A life lived on her own terms. A life of art and style. A life that I would have liked very much - painting and sewing and living in the silence of the desert.

A rectangular sheet of yellow paper with a repeating pattern of small, simple green leaves and light orange dots, resembling abstract flowers, on a plain black background.
A rather wishy washy background made me ponder for a while. After my efforts I ended up with a sort of dirty wallpaper effect, it put me in mind of poisonous arsenic
laced Victorian interiors.

A handwritten label describing Khadi sketchbooks: 210 gsm smooth, 100% cotton rag, ink smooth paper, handmade papers by Khadi Papers with the website www.khadi.com and a red logo.
A new #sketchbook #khadi it is a strange letterbox shape designed for landscapes I guess.

Velazquez
No quote on this page just an #homage to Velazquez and a collage of his art. This is the last page in my altered book. The quality of the paper was poor and the pages were falling apart - it is held together with brown gummed tape. I have had much […]

Pond
When you were a tadpole
And I was a fish,
In the Palazoic time,
And side by side
In the ebbing tide
We sprawled through
The ooze and slime

The unfathomable deep
