09.02.2026 22:48 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Since the start of the year I have gradually been getting myself back into running, after tearing my left Medial Collateral Ligament back in August 2024. Today was my best run yet, and my first time over 4 miles for ~ 18 months, as I (hopefully) build to ultramarathon distance by early July...

Here are the final 3 miniature watercolours from the series I painted in January for my elder daughter's birthday. They show key locations in her life since leaving home: #Guildford (castle), #Godalming (high street) and #BrookfieldBarn (2024 wedding venue near #Horsham)

Following on from yesterday's 'secret' pictures for my elder daughter's recent birthday, here are the next 3 in the series showing locations from her childhood and the transition to university: Plymouth Hoe, Pew Tor (Dartmoor), and #WindsorHall @uniofreading.bsky.social

Recently I've been working on 'secret' #art projects, including a set of 9 #watercolour miniatures of key locations from my elder daughter's life. Here are the schools... Margaret MacMillan Nursery School, Hyde Park Infant and Junior Schools and #Plymouth High School for Girls...

I thought I'd have a go at upsizing my normal style, so I grabbed a thick #drawing pen, did a quick loose sketch and threw on the #watercolours with my largest brush. The result is this Italian waterfront scene. At about 20 x 25cm it's ~20x bigger area than my usual miniature pictures

I'm happier with how the painted version of my morning's pencil sketch of Godalming church has just turned out...
#art #drawing #watercolour #surrey #godalming
Hmmm... I bought some new water brushes this afternoon and just added some colour to this morning's sketch, but I think perhaps I preferred it before I added the paint!
#art #watercolour #watercolor #painting #drawing #surrey #godalming
... and here's a 10 minute pencil sketch of Godalming Church. This has been an interesting example of how creativity is boosted by constraints (in this case the lack of a paint brush!)

Aargh... I'm away for the weekend visiting my daughter in #Surrey and just did this quick, loose, ink sketch of #Godalming High Street only to discover that I have pencil, eraser, ink pen, watercolour paints... but no brush... I guess this will have to remain an #ink #sketch for now!

I was getting a bit frustrated this morning because I couldn't decide what to paint... so I just started doodling and ended up creating this row of 'happy houses'...

Here's a quick postcard-sized painting I just did from a photo I took on a New Year's Eve walk from Fowey around Pont Pill near the footbridge at Churchtown...

Why, when I've been a Windows/PC user on a daily basis for >40 years, did I recently 'treat' myself to a MacBook Air. Everything is back-to-front and completely non-intuitive. It's going to take me ages to switch platforms, particularly as I'll still be using Windows at work. It's driving me mad...

This morning's painting is another postcard-sized view from an October walk: Ditsworthy Warren House, made 'famous' in the film version of Michael Morpurgo's novel 'War Horse'

This morning's effort is a second postcard-sized painting of a view down a Dartmoor lane towards Sheepstor. I'm pleased with how this one has turned out...

Something different this morning - a postcard-sized view of Yellowmead Stone Circle near Sheepstor, Dartmoor from a photo I took in October...

Incredible picture. Is it a photo? It looks like a charcoal drawing!

I didn't think I would have time for art this morning, but somehow I have managed to squeeze in a painting session: Bird-by-Bird No.9 - Greater Spotted Woodpecker...

I've had two attempts and I'm still not convinced with this morning's effort, but here it is anyway: Bird-by-Bird 08 - Blue Tit...
