So excited about these beautiful coloured Caran D'ache Aquarelle Supracolor pencils, the colour pigment is so vivid. I also bought two wax pastels to add to my Neocolor collection. #Art #CaranDache bought online at Jackson's Art Supplies.

Thank you to a fantastic M.E (& Long COVID) ally, @georgemonbiot.bsky.social for this fab article. He's continued to keep this in the press & highlight the plight of sufferers. Medical misogyny runs through our NHS & supported by The Psych Cabal. Although, they're often diagnosing M.E & LC as FND.

Sketched a little whimsy illustration for my Granddaughter.

Doodle of a little girl walking her Butterfly, along a golden path with bushes, grass and three red poppies. The sun is smiling down in her, the sky is bright blue with white fluffy clouds.

We had this wasp spider in the house tonight which is very unusual, first time ever. Our garden has been full of grasshoppers this year, so we reckon that's why it's happened.

Here's one I didn't finish earlier... Not usual for me to leave an image unfinished, it was in early stages of reacquainting myself with my art again. I think it overwhelmed me. I will revisit it.
