Archie seems to have found his spot.

My painting of the late lamented rescue collie Archie sitting on a set of shelves just above where his bed used to be. He is surrounded by other artworks (including another Archie portrait) close to the fireplace ready for winter.

Say what you like about my paintings but they do tend to make good cushion covers...

A cushion with a covermade from a print of part of an abstract painting titled Cuba Libre. Palm tree, sands, tobacco, cuban flag and a row of red triangles are elements of the composition.

It's a tough job, but somebody has to scoff it. So happy I didn't make that risotto for tea.

Like the Ritz compared to my home studio!

A jumble of oil paint, paint tubes, brushes, tape and other parapernalia on what passes for my easel.

A part completed oil painting on a paint splattered easel squeezed into the jumble of my art room.

Inspired by @nicmiller.bsky.social and her cucumber lemon drizzle cake, this week's #cake is a cucumber and lemon verbena cake. Considering how many last-second ingredient decisions were made it came out pretty well!

A freshly made cucumber and lemon verbena cake, sliced in half showing the speckles of cucumber and verbena, with a couple of verbena leaves decorating the top of the cake.

Not bad for a first attempt I reckon. Lovely flavour.

Just bought one of these. It looks even better in real life. It has already picked its spot. Just need to get it framed now.

This is how #DPD deliver irreplaceable original artworks - by leaving them leaning against the UNLOCKED front porch door.

Two hundred pounds worth of art print "delivered" by leaning it against the UNLOCKED front porch door of a house on a busy main road.

This is how #RoyalMail deliver books. A note was left IN MY PORCH informing me that the "delivery" was IN A BIN. They couldn't be bothered saying which bin! You can't make this stuff up.
