Top tune of the day. YouTube added this to a playlist, and it gave me a wave of nostalgia for 1970s TV. A time when the answering machine at the start seemed like really hi tech 😂 youtu.be/W1zYNrsx9Pw?...

This week, in my regular online art session @artistinresidence.co I got participants drawing pineapples. I started with a preamble about their status in Georgian times ...ending up redesigning the gatepost of my home! #drawing #gelprint #acrylicpen #pen #colouredpencil #brushpen #botanicaldrawing

Taking inspiration from nature in my sketchbook today. Everything is growing so fast in the garden now. I love this time of year 💚

15 minute collages in my sketchbook. They're just a kind of brain dump exercise and don't really relate much to my other work. I do find them really fun, and look forward to this daily ritual now. #visualart #collage #sketchbook #sketchbookpages #abstractcollage #abstractart #artists #art #play

Such a good sketchbook session this morning working with charcoal, gouache and acrylic inks. It's messy work so I'm off to clean down the table and wash my hands. #visualart #sketchbookpages #artists #artistsdesk #artistsstudio #iloveart #charcoalsketches #flowerdrawings #julialaingstudio

Introducing Cuddles Von Profit, a capitalist cat-astrophe and a purr-fect reminder that billionaires are ridiculous, but cats are essential. 100% less morally reprehensible than a billionaire. Adopt Cuddles and own a billionaire instead of them owning you. Warning: Do not eat. #Caturday #cats

Created this painting from a reference in class (reference unknown). It’s one of the few oil paintings I’ve made so far. After seeing so many beautiful landscape pieces on BS, I wanted to share mine as well 🖼️ 🏞️. #landscape#art#oilpainting

 Medium: Oil on canvas

One from the vaults for #caturday today. Here are Melba and Marco when they were cute kittens. Can't believe they'll be 5 this year! Constant companions, sometimes they argue but usually end up snuggling together soon after #😻 #cats #kittens #catsky #tabbycats
