Today’s moment of calm. Washing its paws, a hare in the travellers joy, keeps a wary eye on the passing world

Stumpy update…. Happily lounging under the sunlamp with a tummy full of insects

No matter how small you are, every living thing deserves its place in the world. From this tiny bee too the great blue whale. All creatures would live in harmony but for our impacts upon them. Bee kind, put nature first and see how it will give back to you

Today’s moment of calm. I am painting a little brown mouse to commission. I hope it brings satisfaction. It’s what I do. I gaze at animals and try to show you that they have, spirit, personality,dignity, grace and as much right as you have to be left in peace.

I stumbled across this piece written about my work by a complete stranger yesterday. It’s an odd feeling because I just live down a track in isolation and often completely forget that there’s a great big world outside.

Lizard update

Rescued a lizard who was out in the cold, having lost its tail. I thought he was dead just laying there on his back in the cold wet grass but with overnight care he’s doing well. He will stay with us until the weather warms up a bit. So I’m off to find more insects & worms for his super

Today’s moment of calm. The first snowdrops are in bloom on the farm. With plenty still in bud or in the green. It looks like it’s going to be a beautiful spring

Off to my stained glass session to work on my bathroom modesty window. These little bits are ready for the kiln. I’m enjoying the process but not sure if the end result will be that good…..

I really love going out for breakfast with you but, said Bryn. But what? Said me. I’m not allowed on the furniture said Bryn & when your legs are short like mine it can be a bit difficult. I’m sorry said me, I don’t make the rules but I promise to feed you the bestist bits

Hallelujah! After 10 years I have finally unpacked my ancient pot stand and reinstated it in my kitchen. It feels as if we have finally moved into the cottage. So Bryn and I are going out to celebrate over breakfast.

Happy #Imbolc, ushered in by Brigid and her hare. Nature is stirring, there’s a full moon. The winter is ebbing away. The seeds scattered last year are waking up. Pat yourself on the back , you’ve made it through another winter.

At the core of devastation can we,should we search for hope, and if we do isn’t that in itself an act of great courage?

Today’s moment of calm. A sneaky peek at my new project. A stained glass modesty window for my bathroom. Today I’m painting on glass with traditional materials that will then be fired in a kiln. I’m looking forward to sharing this project with you as it slowly comes together.

It’s not often I’m stopped in my tracks by the beauty of a potato, but come on !!!!!

Today’s moment of calm comes to you from my studio. I see a wren in my peripheral vision, she flies from stem to stem. Distracted from my work by her movement, I am drawn into a moment of her life. A moment of grace. I feel my connection to this place, to the fields & hedges, to the birds & trees 🩷

Tiny Welsh cottage+ energetic Welsh terrier + zoomies = fun

Take a moment to remember the good things in life; I know it’s hard to do this, when it feels like the world is tipping this way & that, but if my little mouse can help you connect with “la vie en rose” again just for a moment, then my job as an artist is done for today 🩷

Because nothing said speedy form of transportation more than a snail in a knitted shell.

The song of a blackbird in the snowy landscape tricked like drops of melt-water. Everything changes,the weather,the world, our feelings Sometimes it’s good to remember that you are enough Being in nature helps us to remember this. Being with nature calms us, muffles the noises like snow on the farm

With great sadness I witnessed the death of a long tailed tit this morning. Found cold and wet and hungry on the ground. I cupped him in my hands. His feet twitched a little bit but he never regained consciousness. A few tears were shed.

Saturday mornings moment of calm. The barn owl , night watcher, graceful hunter, silent traveller. I could learn a few lessons from you about how to interact with the world today.

Take a moment to reset your mind. Contemplate this portrait of a mouse. Each little creature has its own unique and special place in this world. We should care for every living thing and take great pleasure in its creation and individual beauty

Today’s moment of calm is my pair of Wren icons resting on a shelf. The branch they perch on reads across both triptychs One wren is singing the other gathers lichen for his nest. Male Wrens build up to 5 nests allowing the female to choose her favourite. A gentleman of the bird world

Today’s take a break from doomscrolling moment is my conversation with a bumblebee. I’ll take the natural world every time. I’ve looked at mankind and I’m not that impressed in fact I’m underwhelmed. Especially when I look at modern America’s second nation. So yeah, give me nature every time

Take a moment to forget your cares and worries

A moment of creativity in the studio painting a goldfinch

The end of a beautiful day

The latest commission has landed

I was wondering, said Bryn how long do we sit here before the cake appears ? I’m not sure said me. Let me go and look in the kitchen cupboard just in case it’s vanished into someone’s stomach while we were out, because you know how it is in this house. Turn your back on a cake and whoosh it’s gone
