I've been searching for a hardback copy of Jeanette Haien's wonderful book 'The All Of It' for over 5 years (timohare.blog/2020/05/20/t...). Today, I got my hands on one, bought for ~£10 on eBay - not only hardback, but a UK 1st edition originally gifted by the author herself! Thank you universe 🙏

Whoop, Whoop! My first sales from Facebook Marketplace listings are ready for collection later today and tomorrow... #art #painting #drawing #watercolour #watercolor #watercolours #watercolors #Dartmoor #Plymouth #Devon #artsales

5.6 mile loop walk from near Ringmoor Cottage over Ringmoor Down to Gutter Tor and Ditsworthy Warren Farm, then via Edward's Path to Natter and Yellowmead Stone Circles and Sheepstor village...

I've been arranging and framing afternoon - a full set of my Dartmoor Scenes miniatures ready to sell to a colleague and a test run of the full set of my Capital City Landmarks pictures to see how they look altogether. #art #watercolour #watercolor #painting #Dartmoor #capitalcities #landmarks

I'm still in an evening painting phase... and today my miniature watercolour is No. 10 in my London Landmarks series: Battersea Power Station #art #watercolour #watercolor #watercolors #watercolors #painting #drawing #sketching #urbanlandscape #urbanwatercolour #London #Battersea

A little late with today's miniature #watercolour #painting, No. 5 in my #London #Landmarks Series: a sunset view of the London Eye. I enjoyed doing this one - it was very quick and 'sketchy' with an interesting sky #art #watercolor #watercolours #watercolors #LondonEye #RiverThames #urbanlandscape

New blog post: Somerset Paintings - Part 1 A few words about our short-break staying in the #QuantockHills in #Somerset in June featuring quick pictures I painted there. #art #painting #sketching #watercolour #watercolor #watercolours #watercolorsv #Kilve #Crowcombe timohare.blog/2025/09/11/q...

Today's miniature #watercolour - #London Landmark No.4 - shows #NelsonsColumn and the #NationalGallery in #TrafalgarSquare. It was tricky to fit such a tall / thin feature onto a square of paper so there’s a lot of sky! #art #painting #drawing #watercolor #watercolours #watercolors #urbanlandscape

Tower Bridge, London - probably the first of a new 'London Landmarks' series of miniature watercolour pictures - back to art at last! #London #TowerBridge #RiverThames #art #watercolour #watercolor #watercolours #watercolors #painting #ink #drawing #urbanlandscape

'Deep play is a labyrinth and not a maze, a twisting path with no destination. The walking is the thing. You are the walk. There is no end to it. Your only reward is more of the same - more wells to fill with your attention, more fires to tend.' From 'Enchantment' (Katherine May)

'Above all, I learned what happens when you turn away from play. The most beautiful reaches of your attention degrade within you, leaving behind a residue of bitterness and frustration.' From 'Enchantment' (Katherine May)

'Many of the "disabilities" we neurodiverse people experience are really an inability to conform to arbitrary societal norms. Science* needs to stop treating us as defective. These traits are indeed phenomena not disorders.' Michael A. Levine: Letter, Scientitic American, September 2025 * society?

'I don't want to sit brooding like a hen on the nest of my past achievements. I want to keep on going deep into the uncertain act of making, to see the unknown world stretch out before me and to devote myself to exploring it.' From 'Enchantment' (Katherine May)

'We are more moth than we know: small, frustrated, capable of only tickling a world that we wish would feel our heft.' From 'Enchantent' (Katherine May)

It's becoming a bit of a tradition that whenever we stay away somewhere I paint a quick picture of the accommodation and leave it behind with a thank you note to the owners! #art #ink #watercolour #watercolor #watercolours #watercolors #sketch #painting #Suffolk #Eye #Hoxne

Another Suffolk landscape - again, just watercolours with no ink detailing. This one is of a barn and dead tree in the fields between Eye and Hoxne. #art #watercolour #watercolor #watercolours #watercolors #painting #landscape #fields #barn #tree #Suffolk #Eye #Hoxne #Diss

A new place, and new approach - just a very few faint pencil guide lines and no ink whatsoever - for this scene of Suffolk Farmland... #art #painting #watercolour #watercolours #watercolor #watercolors #landscape #landscapepaintiny #Suffolk #farmland #fields #hedge

Just had a strange experience. In my morning reading I read Ch8 of Keep Going (@AustinKleon) which includes a section on the litter-picking habit of writer David Sedaris. I then turned to Ch10 of Beyond Anxiety (Martha Beck) and it starts with 2 pages about the litter-picking habit of David Sedaris

Following on from my last post showing photos of framed collections of some of my miniature watercolours, here's my latest series, Plymouth Miniatures popped into a frame... #art #watercolours #watercolors #watercolour #watercolour #painting #drawing #urbanwatercolour #Devon #Plymouth

I've been experimenting with frames for my miniature #watercolour #paintings. Here are some prints of selections from my #HousePlants series in a 15cm black frame, and from each of my #Dartmoor Scenes, #Cornwall Landscapes and #Exmoor Views series in 24cm box frames... #art

Here's the last in my series of Plymouth Miniatures (for now at least), No.9, a view across the inner basin of Sutton Harbour towards the Custom House and Three Crowns pub... #art #watercolour #watercolor #watercolours #watercolors #painting #Devon #Plymouth #SuttonHarbour #CustomHouse #ThreeCrowns

Plymouth Miniature No. 8 is a view across the entrance to Sutton Harbour of the National Marine Aquarium... #art #watercolour #watercolor #watercolours #warercolors #painting #sketching #urbanlandscape #Devon #Plymouth #NationalMarineAquarium #NMA #SuttonHarbour

My Plymouth Miniature No. 7 #watercolour #painting is a view of the #ArtDeco #Tinside #Lido that juts out into #PlymouthSound #art #watercolor #watercolours #watercolors #landscape #Devon #Plymouth #outdoorswimming #waterfront #PlymouthHoe

My Plymouth Miniature No.6 is a view looking across the inner basin of the Royal William Yard... #art #watercolours #watercolour #warercolors #watercolor #landscapepainting #urbanart #painting #Devon #Plymouth #RoyalWilliamYard #RWY

Plymouth Miniature No.5 is a view of The Dolphin pub on the Barbican waterfront in Plymouth... #art #watercolour #watercolor #watercolours #watercolors #urbanart #TheDolphin #pb #Barbican #Plymouth #Devon

Here's the set of Plymouth Miniatures so far. It's coming along nicely. I definitely want to keep some brighter colours in this set...

The 4th picture in my latest series, Plymouth Miniatures, features the sculpture Look II by #AnthonyGormley as it gazes lazily towards #PlymouthHoe and #SmeatonsTower #art #artofart #watercolour #watercolor #watercolours #watercolors #landscape #painting #Plymouth #Devon #sculpture #LookII

Today's Plymouth Miniature is a view of some boats tied up along the cafe-fringed quayside of Sutton Harbour... #art #watercolour #watercolor #watercolours #watercolors #landscape #painting #urbanart #Plymouth #SuttonHarbour #Barbican #quayside #Devon

Here's a framed home-produced composite print of my Exmoor Views series of miniature watercolours... #art #watercolour #watercolours #watercolor #watercolors #paintings #landscapes #miniatures #Exmoor #Porlock #Malmsmead #Oare #Culbone #ValleyoftheRocks #DunkeryBeacon #LandacreBridge #RobbersBridge

Sometimes a picture turns out not to be the one you thought you were going to paint. This 5cm square view of the #Mayflower Steps in #Plymouth was supposed to be low on detail, but then my pen got to work... #art #watercolour #watercolor #ink #linework #painting #Devon #PilgrimFathers #USA
