Another tick off my bucket list! Dawn at Avebury today. It couldn't have been more beautiful and special with the sky and the mist. Amazing experience. #avebury #stonecircle #sunrise #octoberdawn @stoneclub.bsky.social

Peaceful early walk to the lake this morning. Just me and the birds, very meditative. This is a digital collage of some pictures I took. #mindfulness #fortonlake #gosport #morningwalk

I've been working on these for a couple of weeks, lots of layers and playing. They're not finished but getting close I think! 🤩. Which one is your favourite? #abstractacrylic #abstractart #workinprogress

I've been playing with a LOT of textures this week, especially gauging out my painting with tools to reveal what's #underneath. It's endless fun and addictive 😂. #Blueskyartshow #abstractacrylic #onmyeaseltoday #Blueskyartist

West Kennet Long Barrow... What an incredible sacred place. We were lucky enough to have a few minutes alone there, very moving. #longbarrow #avebury #neolithic

I'm getting back into the practice of regular daily paintings, no purpose, no direction, just painting joyfully each day. Today's sketchbook was inspired by the primroses and hyacinths in my garden I think! #inmysketchbook #abstractart #artisfun
A yellow and blue abstract painting.

Lovely sand shapes on the beach at Ryde today. When I'm out, I'm always on the look out for ideas for my art. Definitely some good stuff here! #ryde #isleofwight #sand #creativediscoveries

One of my favourites from the last few weeks, a collage representing Purbeck, Dorset. I used all sorts of collage materials, mostly home-made, but also a lot of old books. Great fun! Just a warmup piece to be expanded later. #purbeck #collageart #abstractlandscape

A few weeks ago, I went to Avebury for the first time & it had quite an effect on me! The stones have influenced my art ever since. It was a glorious frosty morning in the Avenue here. (With @magusian.com making a brief cameo 😂). #aveburystones #wiltshire

One thing I really love about the winter months is the gorgeous wiggly branches of a bare oak tree. I take endless shots against a blue sky. I love the way the branches grow in irregular lines, as if it met a dead end and went off at a new angle. Much like life! #oaktree #blueskies #gosport

Oak trees look so magnificent in winter! I take endless pictures of their scraggy branches and remember how many winters they've seen. 100s in the case of this huge one nearby. #oaktree #wintertree #endurance #allthiswillpass

I've been enjoying this painting recently. I painted it last June to reflect the exuberant abundance of flowers in the garden. It gives us a little dose of summer when we come down stairs 🥰🌻🌷🪻. #abstractacrylic #summerpainting #abstractart
A painting of abstract flowers, mainly pinks, reds and blues.

It was such a serene day on the lake this week, not a breath of wind. It's so important to notice these bright points in our days (whatever they are for you) in order to reduce anxiety & promote mindfulness. #mindfulness #gosport #milleniumbridge #gratitude
A beautiful serene view across a still lake towards an open sky.

I visited #avebury for the first time in November and found it a deeply moving experience, which I didn't expect! I'm still working on capturing some of my awe in my paintings & will share some soon! #standingstones #aveburystonecircle #wiltshire

Man-made lines and nature's lines ... Is it true that there are no straight lines in nature 🤔 #whatisee #wintertrees #fareham

I love how the winter dawn light hits the trees in the distance before it reaches the tree in my garden, lighting up with gold. #gosport #wintertrees #dawnlight
