It's such a pain posting photos here. I don't want pre-faff, I want to access all my albums easily and immediately @bsky.app

Radiohead's Hail to the Thief married to Shakespeare's Hamlet at the RSC Stratford. Bloody marvellous in every aspect. What an experience.

Said goodbye to Pudding today. Rapid decline overnight, a stroke I think. He wagged until the very end. The most wonderful dog. We are broken.

Our final exhibition weekend! We're open today, tomorrow and Monday. 11 - 5. OX18 2NA It's a joy of a show. We've had so much lovely feedback (and a few red dots!) Thank you to all our visitors so far. With the fab @sculptedinstone.bsky.social

We've decided that we like these two billing and cooing pigeons so much that they're not for sale. You can see them and loads more at our show this weekend. Do come! Exhibiting in Bampton, Oxfordshire with the wonderful @suesideartist.bsky.social

A lorry has stopped in a layby by the busy A40 outside Witney. The driver stands in front of the cab, playing the bagpipes. @mirandakeeling.com Also Miranda, Jane loved the book. Perfect little nuggets of joy for post-brain-tumour op. She survived, is thriving, and I don't have to live on a boat.

Sold - Preening Swan will remain on show at the Himalayan Garden near Ripon, but she's got a red dot. I'll be exhibiting in a couple of weeks at home with @suesideartist.bsky.social though - and we have many other artists in the village, all as part of Oxfordshire Art Weeks. Do come!

A reworked piece. This was twice the height and, predictably, fell over. New leaves, another hole and the added detail of gilding the voids has given it new life. What do you reckon? Will be on show at our coming exhibition - looking forward to seeing you!

This smaller version of a larger garden piece is in a gorgeous bit of Portland limestone. It'll be available to see, stroke and even buy (you'd better be quick!) at our exhibition in just three weeks (gulp). @suesideartist.bsky.social at my side as ever - she's producing beautiful work right now.

Jane's amazing garden. It's mine too, but she does all the work. Wisteria is going crazy this year, that flowering columnar cherry on the right that Pudding ate as a pup but we gave another chance is stunning, and a well stocked (and well stacked) log store always pleases...

Sketching morris dancers' silhouettes. They'll feature on a forthcoming piece of public art in the centre of Bampton, commissioned by the parish council and funded through Section 106 art funding. Very excited for this stone to be delivered so that I can start!

Back in 2012, I was commissioned to draw this lovely girl. I'll be starting a new portrait of her next wk, now a thoughtful young woman. Come see the new portrait in progress during @oxfordshireartweeks. I will be exhibiting with the talented @sculptedinstone.bsky.social May 17 18 22 - 26 OX18 2NA

Meanwhile, I'm off to see this bad boy today at @morethanadodo.bsky.social. I do have my reasons to visit specifically this dinosaur, which will soon hopefully become clear.

Today I had poached pheasants' eggs on avocado on toast for breakfast, and then a very nice bull calf let me scratch his head lots. I like an uncomplicated life but I also like new experiences.

Temporary installation at Cokethorpe School. I'll be relocating this piece back home to Bampton for our artweeks exhibition. @suesideartist.bsky.social and I hope to see you then!

This is one of my favorite poems of all time, written by the wonderful & greatly missed John M. Ford. I’ve been thinking about it a lot recently. So I thought I would share it.

Sculpted in Stone by David Williams @sculptedinstone.bsky.social · 30/01/2025

Head and neck refined, first pass of sanding done. I think the tail needs narrowing, too fish-like? Happy to receive feedback! If anyone's tempted to get a bit RSPB on me please bear in mind this is not meant to be any specific bird - just 'of bird'.

Head needs to be formed and there's some work to be done on the neck and rear of the body, plus it doesn't stand freely at the moment. That said, I'm nearly at the sand until your fingers hate you stage. Gorgeous Ancaster hard white limestone.

@nigelslater.bsky.social I made an approximation to the 'ivory sauce' that you deacribe eating in Beirut. It went brilliantly with a red onion tarte tatin and some couscous, bulgar wheat and quinoa with pomegranate and mint. Really enjoying A Thousand Feasts, thank you.

More work on this today. Shape approaching what I want, lots of refining needed tomorrow. At the moment it won't stand up, but I'll address this as I move towards the endgame. Ancaster hard white limestone.

Good progress today on this piece of Ancaster hard white limestone. (It's neither particularly hard nor white). Also didn't get frostbite in my fingers, which is a bonus.

In early 2020, a pandemic was spreading. The UK’s PM went on a 10 day half-term holiday during which he was uncontactable and the government went into panic mode, focusing, as Hancock related to the COVID enquiry, on buying enough body bags. 1/8
