August, captured in pen and paint. So much early fruit this year! #NatureJournal #ArtDiary #ArtYear

A bientôt Provence. My family are not early risers so each morning, armed with a cup of coffee, a pain au raisin, the view or photos taken the day before, I spend an indulgent hour recording memories.

Le Ciel et Rose - Grasse. I’m working from photographs taken the previous day - ain’t no way I’m drawing en plein air in this heat! Il fait très chaud! 🥵 #holidaysketchbook #penandwash #provence #ArtYear

Kendal on a very cloudy day. It’s a mish mash of watercolour on gessoed collage, pen and a hefty blend of experimentation, mistakes, changes of direction, “oh no’s!” And “what’s?!” I’m pleased with the outcome and definitely wouldn’t have got here if I hadn’t enjoyed the process. #ArtYear

Channeling my inner Percy Kelly. Sketchbook studies from today’s Sketch and Stroll session at Abbot Hall Gallery. Colours tones and mood greatly affected by the drizzly grey weather. #ArtYear #sketchbook

Here's the Open Statement on sludge spreading launched by us at Fighting Dirty, and signed by many leading figures. The water companies are using farmland as a dump for hazardous chemicals. They mislead farmers, poison the land and threaten our health. It must stop. fightingdirty.org/open-stateme...

Morecambe Bay quicksand warning issued. Bay Search and Rescue has discovered more patches this year than for decades. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

There’s no such thing as a mistake - just another way to discover something new. Tried adding texture to watercolour and made a mess but with the addition of some negative painting to bring out the shapes it’s made an interesting page in my sketchbook. #Watercolour #ArtYear #PaintingExperiments
