We worked with some fantastic ecologists who researched, surveyed, recorded & shared data that we included in this mural.

This is the first panel of ten, which makes up a large public mural that can be seen at Cholsey Pavilion. Each panel is a collaboration between myself and Rebecca. It is part of The Springline Project. mendthegap.uk/enhancement-...

The Springline Mural. March. Panel 1. This lane is dappled in morning light. The Grass Snake is emerging from its winter shelter. Chiffchaff & Song Thrush sing from the willow trees. Brown Hare and Rooks are in the fields amongst the fresh green shoots of a new crop.

What a beaut. I've seen a few Brimstones around the village.

'Tintagel'. Oil on board. Painted in 2019.
Walking along the National Trail, Coastal Path, the majestic cliffs of Tintagel come into view, and this is one of those landscapes that can never fail to impress at any time of year.

My usual view of Wayland's Smithy longbarrow, as today was such a glorious day!

Thank you Nicola and back at you. I had a very sneaky look around (with Ollie) when I dropped off the paintings. It's such a fabulous museum.

Thrilled to be part of this exhibition at @themerl.bsky.social which has been curated by @olliedouglas.bsky.social. Two of my paintings are part of this gallery trail. Make sure to find time for a visit over the next few months. It's going to be fantastic.

Work in progress. Oil on board. Can you guess the hill fort? This will be on show at my studio in early May for Oxfordshire Artweeks.

He is incredibly talented, and I am long over due for a trip to your lovely museum - I'll be making a direct visit to see this skeleton dog.

We've had a splendid selection of new arrivals at Rather Good Art. Firstly we have the woodblock prints of Hasui Kawase, as cards and bookmarks, then some powerful arboreal illuminations from Ian Archie Beck, and a new collection of Eric Ravilious Landscapes.

This is amazing news Nicola. I love Ramblings. Will enjoy listening to this as I paint in the studio.

Congratulations Alex @ajlanglands.bsky.social and team on this incredible discovery. What a way to kick off the New Year.

I like the placement of that bench. I could sit and ponder, with that view, for a long time.

I like your style Peter. That whiskey looks especially delicious.

But he keeps me company in my studio most days, so above all, he's my creative adviser. I managed to escape the Christmas colds and flu so hopefully I am bouncing into the New Year with a spring in my step.

I got a cat during the covid lock down. Here he is. My Monty. Photo taken by @hedleythorne.bsky.social and he brings a lot of joy to my day. He is also a little pickle.

It's a lovely time to visit as it tends to be much quieter.
