These 2 (70cm sq) are done I think. Drawn from ideas and memories of old ruins, fragments of buildings, stones and markings on islands and promontories. Excavations, history, habitations. Remembering also my visit to the stones of #CeideFields Neolithic settlement in County Mayo

The two blue ones have changed a lot! Flattened, simplified, paler, pastel, softer. Perhaps a bit boring? Let’s see tomorrow #painting #form #process #layers #coldwaxmedium #pink #errigal #donegal

Not a single tree, but a windbreak of willows (cuttings taken and planted about 12 years ago) with more recent alders planted in front, on our land on Cruit Island, County Donegal. We are very windswept, and trees struggle. After 17 years we have established c. 100 young native trees

I have noticed, anecdotally only, that there seem to be more molehills in Abergavenny parks (Linda Vista Gardens and Castle Meadows) this year than usual. I think that must be a good thing 🤞 🌍

I once dug up a nest of tiny pink blind baby rats, in a compost heap, and have remained haunted by my careless destruction. Still don’t like rats though. That ‘duality’ or contradiction often thrives in me.

Full moon from our holiday rental balcony, Tenerife, last February Just an IPhone snap. The rocks I think are called ‘two brothers’, the sea is at the bottom of the cliff on the left. Perfect spot for moonwatching

I like the moody cloudy one too, but the red in the branches perfectly echoes the red threads in the petals in the blue sky one 🙌

Some graphite marks added this morning, with light from the skylight playing havoc! I think the bigger painting finished now, and my thumbprint marked with my initials. #studio #painting #errigal #Donegal #coldwaxmedium
Messy studio with strong sunlight shafts from a Westerly skylight. Wooden planked walls with a sloping ceiling. A large painting on canvas stapled to the wall, works in progress on paper on the right hand wall and two more square canvases on easelsA mainly orange painting, with a yellow rectangle at the top and a pale blue mountain silhouette across the centre. A yellow thumbprint at bottom right with my initials ‘LD’ scored into the paintDetail of the central mountain motif, in pale blue/grey over orange. Scraffito marksDetail of initials ‘LD’ signature scored into a yellow paint thumbprint

Yes, maybe both physical (our local mountain, Errigal, one of the ‘Seven Sisters’ range of the Derryveagh mountains in Donegal) and, perhaps, metaphysical?
