Here's another watercolour from a sketching visit back to Winchester where I spent a year at the art school in the '60s. I had a particularly productive stay in the late '90s and this is favourite from then. It was bought by a friend and I'm sure she's looking after it. #art #watercolour #Winchester

Here is another watercolour drawing done on location in Winchester. This shows Dean Garnier's Garden which lies on the site of what was once the monk’s dormitory of the Benedictine Monastery. I still have the original of this tucked away somewhere. #art #watercolour #Winchester

Another on-the-spot watercolour (with pen work) from a sketching trip to Winchester in 1997. I regret parting with this one though I hope the buyer is still enjoying it. This is typical Winchester with the cathedral in the background. See Alt text for more info. #art #watercolour #winchester

One of many Cambridge street watercolours I did 30-40 years ago. Working on the spot uniquely preserves memories and feelings. The shop signs at that time in Green St were extravagantly beautiful and the passers by were sketched in quickly. Still have this one. #fineart ##pleinair #Cambridge

Living outside the US has its rewards. Still at times as frustrated, mad, and disappointed as if I was there. Seeing a Bull shark, actually two, lurking around our restaurant, pretty cool.

Another older watercolour drawing showing St Edward's Passage in Cambridge next to the Arts Theatre and David's Bookshop when it had a shop on that side of the church (now it only has one on the other side) #watercolour #fineart #cambridge

An older watercolour drawing from when I used to make frequent trips to sketch in London. This shows the Embankment with lots of pigeons, a pavement artist and a couple of Japanese young women on one of the benches. This was sold at an exhibition. #art #pleinair #London #Thames #watercolour

“In the end, what truly remains is the life you build on self-confidence— a life shaped by your principles, your values, your limits, your sacrifices, your self-respect, your dignity, your dreams, and your courage. Everything else is just noise.”🌹

No decent human being supports him.

Removing a monument honoring Black US soldiers has nothing to do with DEI. It’s erasure of history and it’s straight-up racism.

Why are ICE agents being paid during the shutdown, but not air traffic controllers? 🤨

Children across the country are being traumatized by this administration. Listen to this mother talk about how ICE raided her child's preschool. It's insane that this #ICELawlessness can happen in the United States of America! Is this still the land of liberty? www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8D9PKcF/

The FBI is sending memos out to local law enforcement agencies warning them that MEN NATIONWIDE are posing as ICE and wearing masks to commit - rapes - robberies - kidnappings There is a war on women and the Republicans have unleashed a unique terror allowing this.

His tariffs are driving up prices. He's gutting Medicaid. He's killing the ACA. He wants to cut Medicare. Now he's destroying air traffic. When are US businesses going to start fighting back? Consumers can't bear the costs of all of this. When are shareholders going to bail?

People who force their religion on others will force their politics on others. It’s why we separate church from state.

This is how it should be done. Every. Single. Time.
