This makes no sense… An MP can wake up one morning, ditch the party you elected them for, & sign up to a completely different manifesto… No thanks If they defect to a different party, we should get a vote Sign the petition & help make that law. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/73...

…but it won’t pass unless we push it 📣 Email your MP before Wed. Please. It takes seconds to email them and could make the world of difference… Just hit the link below: www.compassioninpolitics.com/write_mp_acc...

A somewhat #Vibrant representation of a winter sunset through birch trees. Painted as an example for an exercise in gouache painting that I’m planning for my class next week. I got carried away with the colour - oops! #BlueSkyArtShow #Gouache

Barbara Hepworth (1903-75), sculptor and artist, was born on this day in Wakefield. One of the foremost modernists of the 20th century.

Two of one hundred metal sculptures, part of Anthony Gormley’s Another Place. A 3km installation but taken in isolation each sculpture feels so #Small and alone when faced with nature, the sea and the sky. #BlueSkyArtShow #gouache

This is a work in progress but I thought it fitted with the #BlueSkyArtShow theme #vertical so here you go. My work seems to have been somewhat preoccupied with trees lately. #watercolour #Mixedmedia #Painting #art

So proud of this collaborative charcoal collage. Made this morning at Abbot Hall Art Gallery in Kendal and inspired by the Simon Starling Boat Works exhibition. This is our floating island. #CollaborativeArt #Collage #Charcoal #ArtYear

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

I spent a long time on this. It’s a 60th birthday present for a special friend. Her favourite place, Trevone Bay in Cornwall. #ArtYear #Scape #AcrylicPainting

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

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
