Cycling into town today for an appointment and loving the fact I can get around to Fountainbridge and the canal without having to cycle on the roads. Beautiful autumn colours and it felt like I was out in the country, just popping up in the centre of town 😊👍 #savetheroseburnpath

Such sad news to hear the creative community that is St Margaret’s House is set to close with over 200 studios being served eviction notices this week. Not just local artists, the building is home to many community groups and charities which will now need to find new places to rent.

It’s not often I let myself go and draw from imagination, I like something I can see; angles, lines and shadows. But when I do and I mix a little realism with wonder, especially in ink and watercolour then I do like the results. Maybe time for an off shoot project. #bookillustration #creativedrawing

I took a walk down Castle Street, noticing how quiet Princes Street is, reminding me of Covid lock down times. So sad to see the burnt out former Debenhams building, hopefully the front can be saved and street opened again soon.

It’s the last day of the school holidays for us and the time has flown by. It’s always odd seeing the kids go back before the festival finishes but we are chilling out at home on this last day. Pottering about and soaking up the sunshine like Misty was here on the mantelpiece.

Had a go at painting with bleach in the garden. Inspired by my daughter’s creations we had a go together painting with different dilutions to make various shades. A bit tricky as the ink takes a few minutes to fade away. Fun though, I like the results.

Sketching the Coo today at George Square, Edinburgh. Violet is back for her 20th year I was there to soak up the first night atmosphere and see a preview of a few shows. Abandoman, The Afronauts and the Palestinian Circus all stood out. So much to see this month 😊👍

Waterloo Place looking down Princes Street, #Edinburgh. Inky scribble to warm up this morning. So many great vistas, this one with the three spires of St Mary’s Cathedral in the distance, the Scott Monument closer and the clock tower of Balmoral on the left. What’s your favourite view in the city?

Spending sunny afternoons in the shed with my son 🥰 I’m feeling very fortunate I can currently bend my work around spending time with the kids while they are off school. Not always easy but always worth it.

Swifts, Swallows or House Martins? I was always unable to tell which was which, until now - the best way to remember their differences? To draw each bird and note their uniqueness. When you take the time to draw something you really notice the details and take so much more in. Give it a go 👍😊

One more from my trip down to Cornwall. St Ives is a maze of beautiful narrow cobbled streets just perfect for wandering around with an ice cream or flat white. I loved the lamp in this one and a slice of the beach from a quiet spot up the hill. #cornwall #cornwallart #inkandwatercolour #stives
