If I don’t force myself into making paintings then…… in the studio today ‘Early Morning Woodland’, watercolour, 38x42cms

Watercolour painting of a woodland path in dappled spring sunlight, with dark greens either side. The path looks towards the early morning sun and leads to a lighter distance.

I really don’t know what’s happening, but another day in the studio and another painting this morning. This is ‘Not snow II’, watercolour, 38x42cms #art #artist #watercolour

Watercolour painting looking through a woodland to a green distance in spring light. Blue shadows dance diagonally across the woodland floor which I’ve left as white paper to represent the sunlight.

Reasonably warm in the studio this morning and my first painting in what seems like absolutely months. I don’t know what’s happened, but I actually felt like putting brush to paper today. Anyway, this is… ‘No, it’s not snow’, watercolour, 38x42cms #art #artist #watercolour #watercolor

If you’ve never heard the sound of pebbles being scraped back to sea by a receding wave, have a listen to this! I’ll never forget the first time I heard this - March 2012 on Vík beach. This is Malarrif last weekend. #Iceland #iPhone15Pro

My first painting in quite sometime. Not my best but I’ve put paint on paper. Watercolour 39x42cms

Watercolour painting of the view over my mother’s garden hedge. There are fields, white houses in the middle distance, a disused coal mine now overgrown with winter trees, all disappearing into a blue distance.

It’s not been a great week thus far to say the least. Took this photo walking back home.

Photo of the street in my village at night. The camera’s daylight white balance has given the photo a reddish cast.

I've made some small drawings on wood of ships, in the North Sea. Paintings to follow I think. Drawn from the umpteen thousand photos I have of them. I'm enjoying the grain of the wood getting involved.

Shutter speed is such a powerful tool in photography. This is slowed down to 1/10th second (& on a tripod) so the falling snow looks like vertical lines of rain. Taken last January on the Snæfellsnes Peninsula in #Iceland as the weather worsened, when I still had the courage to venture out a bit...

A view of a volcanic, rocky coastline, with some stacks out to sea. The foreground is covered with snow and some grasses are just showing. The sea is moving around and quite frothy and green. The sky is very grey, and lines of snow are falling vertically.

Bought a ‘new’ camera so I could go out in the rain, but it was sunny this morning, so went out anyway.

Winter, blue sky with long tree shadows across a field, leading to a line of trees.

Too soon for Instagram Top Nine? Well, not likely to take any more photos this year, so here they are! Quite a few oldies that I re-posted (4), a couple from my recent trip to #Iceland (2) and a few other favourites from this year (3). #TopNine2024

A grid of nine photos - top nine from my Instagram this year. They are (from top left to bottom right): a snowy mountain in Scotland with a patch of orange light on the ground and a marvellous scree slope in the middle, a reflection of a stripy snowy mountain valley in a fjord, turquoise icebergs and water trails on a black sand beach, a little pond with brown grasses and partially snowy mountains behind, black wooden cottages with white windows and door with a view to a little church behind in a snowy setting, a zigzaggy toblerone-shaped turquoise iceberg in a glacial lagoon, more orange landscape with snow and scree slopes above, jagged mountain towers in the Dolomites in fog with a rescue helicopter hovering above, and three black cottages in a blizzardy snowy scene with a little sprig of bare twigs in the foreground.

'So quiet and subtle is the beauty of December that escapes the notice of many people their whole lives through.'
A black and white Photograph by Don McCullin 'From my bedroom' Finsbury Park, London, 1960-62 The image shows snow topped house roofs as snow is falling, there’s an interesting geometry in the way the rows of housing is arranged and highlighted by the snow. In the foreground wires to the roofs are highlighted as white by the snow against the black of the houses, simply a marvellous frame.

Promised folks I would post about a long term project I have going on just now Since March I have been taking one single photo on film every day. Yeah I know. Groundbreaking 🙄 But with luck it’s leading somewhere interesting! Thread👇 (1/10) #BelieveInFilm #ilfordXP2 #Photography #WIP

Black and white mirror selfie, taken with a black Olympus OM1n, which is a very classic-looking film camera.

I am a white woman in her 40s with long hair, wearing rimless glasses, a dark coloured cord jacket and a light coloured scarf. I am looking down at my reflection in the corner of a small mirror on a table, so the edges of the mirror can be seen, along with the surface of the table and parts of the room behind.
