Congratulations to all involved in #TheArchers truth and lies episode. Brilliantly done, loved the interrogation of their pasts and the slightly creepy Christmas ghost story vibe.

So excited about The Archers and everyone’s assumption that George is dead…Schrodinger’s Grundy…that I forgot I can watch the Stranger Things finale episode. I feel this might be a niche focus amongst the general population 🚜 #thearchers

Happy New Year! Hoping for all the usual stuff…peace, kindness and comfort. You just keep going and hoping 🫶🏼🌏🌎🌍🕊️

Fist bump to anyone else caught between the need to bow down & accept the dire, broken reality of the attention economy to continue surviving via their creativity & a desire to disconnect which becomes more vast, and more potentially vital to their sense of inner peace, with every year that passes.

Quote this with what you have accomplished in 2025, no matter how small. * sold original work & limited edition prints. * had a 4 month exhibition at The Art Gallery at Horsham Museum who now stock my cards. * Finally announced I’m a painter & found the courage to talk honestly about my work.

I realise there’s an argument for A Muppet Christmas Carol but in our house it’s Alistair Sim (b&w version). #christmascarol #scrooge #ghoststory #dickens

Omg Tomorrow’s World Christmas 1975 giving off creepy vibes! #tomorrowsworld

Oh perfect for my Christmas ghost story obsession! Thank you Broken Veil!

I love ghost stories at Christmas. Michael Horden running from tattered cloth on the beach. Settling in with @dannyrobins.bsky.social #Uncanny podcast or watching A Christmas Carol. ‘Tis the season 👻 🌲 #ghosts #spooky

My submission for Visual #Art Open ‘Both are true’ An exploration of walking alone & my fascination with the #uncanny & #folklore. The light & dark, the tamed path & wild edges. The signpost is a helpful direction or maybe a deception. It reads ‘Indrid’ inspired by a US #cryptid creature

It’s the time of year when you can take on too much, overload your bank account, your time and your immune system. Breathe, rest and take your time. Spring will come again #sussexartist #contemporaryart #mental-health

"It's the most significant reverse in U.S. foreign policy in generations - its attitude towards Europe is downright hostile." The Trump administration's "disturbing" new National Security Strategy warns that Europe faces “civilisational erasure”. @jonsopel1.bsky.social | @lewisgoodall.com

I couldn’t be more proud of my boy, one of the covid age school alumni. Just before his 20th he’s released his first single 🫶🏼🎶 open.spotify.com/track/0MalQ6...

Trying to get Meta algorithm to notice you

It’s rather bloody marvellous to create your own catalogue of creations #artist #ukbusiness

Didn’t realise it was Small Business Saturday can we make it a weekend. All artists are small businesses so this is me! #smallbusiness charlotteloukes.com

Heartbreaking truth from @chrisgpackham.bsky.social at the @nebriefing.bsky.social No time to cry. I need to take personal & we need to take collective responsibility to tackle this urgently. Earth is our only home, the only hospitable planet as far as we know. #climatecrisis #netzero #neb2025

I’ve launched a catalogue of greetings cards created from my paintings. I’m also super happy to be supplying #Horsham Museum - it’s a wonderfully educational and quirky place to visit. I love the combination of history and curiosities plus a beautiful little garden #sussex #artist

Badenoch reminding me of a school bully #budget

As I’m in between exhibitions I’m indulging in a bit of #folklore and #spooky sketching. Here’s a mash up of #mothman and #brockenspectre As the veil thins this time of year the phantoms come out to play! #art

Just messing around with one of my favourites. #nightmare #surrealism #womenartists #liminal

England in Autumn. In case anyone needed it today #fall #autumn #mentalhealth

top of Duncton Hill. A hazardous but beautiful road. I can’t help thinking of William Horwood’s moles in the Duncton Wood stories. It only lends its name to the books but I like to think of their relatives tunnelling away around the woods and fields of #Duncton. #dunctonwood #art #fiction #sussex

Sunday mornings be like #cavapoo #Sunday

Made the mistake of switching on #bbcqt and now I’m cross … sigh

Worth persevering for a bit of the Kinks #totp

Husband said why are they dancing to the Bee Gees dressed as Fred Dibnah? #totp

Like Bananarama but less fun and no harmony #totp

I sold this little painting at the weekend. However big or small, every sale lifts my heart. 💚 #artist #fineart #autumn #fall

Dog’s watching her favourite programme. Wish we could see it 🙄… #kingdom #attenborough

Art for sale today and tomorrow in #petworthuk #artexhibition #sussex

Oh dear god I’d forgotten about this atrocity #totp

PJ Harvey is perfection #totp

Week of dreary pop so far #totp

Important message on inequity and entitlement from @kevinclimate.bsky.social on #radio4 #Today this morning. It’s so pertinent this morning as we hear about the shareholder vote at a car company.

18 months after giving up a career - a rollercoaster of battling cash flow, standing awkwardly at exhibitions & network meetings. But also selling work, getting exhibited, forming an alliance with a great photographer & doing what I love. There’s never a good time so perhaps just do it? #hope #art

Any shares of this much appreciated! When my ex-publishers collapsed, taking over £20,000 of my earnings with them into the void, all my books suffered but none more than 1983. This is me trying to repair that. It’s about: Childhood Education Aliens Alpacas The East Midlands The old future we lost

Happy Hallowe’eeeeeeeen!

The Sunken Lane - watercolour & pastel. ‘Tis the season of shuffling through leaves, with my Mum’s warning of hidden dog poop ringing in my ears! The spiral of path, hedge and trees always bewitching! #halloween #originalart

Invitation to join me at Kerry-Lynne Photography’s Open House 8-9 November in #Petworth

Survival found there are at least 196 uncontacted Indigenous groups worldwide. Half of them could be wiped out in 10 years if nothing is done. Take action! svlint.org/ActB

What arrogance these companies have. There’s a name for an illegal self interest that wipes out an indigenous people. www.survivalinternational.org/news/14307

Some recent paintings which I enjoyed but I’m going back to roads, paths and hollow ways again. Perfect for Hallowe’en

They act with impunity because they can, no one stops them until it’s too late. All the world’s ills are because they want more power and money. Anyway here’s a painting I’ve started…it’s going well so far #painting #watercolour

Forget modern horrors. Michael Hordern running from the phantom on the beach, in Jonathan Miller’s 1968 ‘Whistle and I’ll come to you’ is perfection for me. The sound, the claustrophobic filming, Hordern’s terror…sublime. #uncanny #ghoststories #mrjames #nightmares
