The same prick who gives me a headache every day now wants to outlaw Tylenol.

Last week we went to #AbbotsBromley, #Staffordshire, to witness the extraordinary & ancient #HornDance, a #FolkDance that has taken place for perhaps 800+ years. I've wanted to see this for years! #FolkCustoms #TraditionalDance #MorrisDancing #folkyfriday #FolkloreSunday #FolkTradition #oldways

The thing that I have wanted the most for the last 15 years would be that the USA would do something (anything) to stop all the senseless violence. No one deserves to live or die like this.

Two very important graphs. Net migration reached record levels in 2023 - and has since halved. The vast majority of arrivals comprises students and workers. Arrivals in small boats and asylum seekers - less than 5%. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

The much-loved words of the UK's #shippingforecast are deeply etched into #British DNA. They remind us of our #maritime history, our North Atlantic geography, & and are a daily prayer to the #Weather Gods. #BlueSkyArtShow #Home #original #painting #watercolour #art janetomlinson.com/products/sai...

So nice to be asked to judge a category at today's #Eynsham #VillageShow. And such fun to see all the fabulous produce. #oxfordshire #villagelife #giantvegetables #homebakedcakes @eynsham1.bsky.social @eynshampcouncil.bsky.social

It's always nice when someone buys something out of the blue. In this case a customer ordered a digital file of my #painting " #Mwnt Moonrise". It means that people *are* finding my website & looking through my back catalogue of goodies: janetomlinson.com #westwales #ceredigion #dolphins #moon

Mid-August & I have already received a few orders recently for next year's #calendar. I had fewer printed this year, so if you'd like one you know what to do... janetomlinson.com/products/cal... Price INCLUDES P&P to UK #2026calendars #2026calendar #artcalendar #calendar2026 #directfromtheartist

#OnThisDay 40 yrs ago, 13 July 1985, I climbed #AyersRock (now Uluru), Australia. It's not easy - it's dangerously steep in places & that day there was a brisk wind. Climbing #Uluru is now banned. Where I was, #LiveAid didn't start until 11pm, and I was too knackered to stay up to watch it anyway.

I'm composing a new #painting that perhaps only the good people of #Eynsham, #Oxfordshire, will truly get. Here's the Eynsham Poacher (a song by Fairport Convention & a Morris dance), and the Abbey (destroyed by Henry VIII in the Reformation). #WorkInProgress @eynsham1.bsky.social

Original #watercolour #paintings of garden #birds for £40 each. janetomlinson.com/products/gar... (size 150 x 150mm) And P&P is included in the price (to UK addresses). Thx for looking! 🙏 #ornithology #ukbirdwatching #FeatheredFriday #ukbirding #uknature #ukwildlife #nature #BirdArt #birdartist

Swift Awareness Week, which aims to highlight the plight of the UK's declining Common Swifts, runs from 28 June-6 July. Find out more:

And now the #sandmartins! That's all four UK #hirundines on the #painting, which I hope will clearly show the differences between these delightful #birds. #workinprogress #ripariariparia #ornithology #sandmartin #birdsinflight #ukbirdwatching

The #housemartins #delichonurbicum have swooped into my #painting! 30 yrs ago I lived in a house where they nested in the eaves. Alas, they don't nest on our current house. I wish they would. I miss them. #workinprogress #birds #ornithology #housemartin #hirundines #ukbirdwatching

The #swifts I painted yesterday are in the process of being joined by #swallows! #birds #painting #ornithology #birdsofinstagram #barnswallow #birdsinflight #hirundines #ukbirdwatching #workinprogress #art #Apusapus #Hirundorustica

Crikey! Here we are already at the longest day. Happy Solstice! And it's hot one here in southern England. 🥵 I'll be celebrating by jumping in a lake. #summersolstice #midsummer #solstice #longestday #watercolour #painting #summer #sun #light #art #journeyaroundthesun

A visitor to my #exhibition 2 weekends ago asked me if I would repeat a little #painting of a #waxwing he'd seen the year before but was already sold. No problem. #Waxwings are so interesting to paint! This one flew off my brushes. Delivered to my customer yesterday. 😃 #birds #birding #art

19 yrs ago I painted "#River Song". The original went to a US buyer. I had prints made but couldn't remember where they were. Today I rediscovered them! I like this #painting today as much as I did nearly 20 yrs ago. 😍🙏 janetomlinson.com/products/riv... #oxfordshire #art #birds #thames #riverthames

Earlier this spring, the lovely people at @bancyreithin.bsky.social, the place we always stay at in #Pembrokeshire, asked me if I would paint some #fingerpost signs to help guests find their way around the beautiful gardens. The #signpost went up last weekend. Isn't it gorgeous?
