‘Accidental tree’ In my Studio Clearance sale (see previous post for explanation!) www.hollybrodie.com/shop/origina...

Life having taken a bit of a turn, I am leaving my studio soon and I won’t have space to store all the work I have here, so there’s a jumble / clearance sale on my website this long weekend. I’d love pieces I’ve cherished to go to nice homes and be enjoyed www.hollybrodie.com/shop

Painting paint…

‘Bridge’ 2023, oil on linen, 70x60cm This is the road bridge over the tracks at Ruislip Station. I see it more often from the other side, waiting for an eastbound Met line train From my Suburban Geometry series 🏡📐 www.hollybrodie.com/suburban-geo...

There’s a Small Works page up on my website at the moment and they are all discounted too. This is an oil on paper called ‘Swing’ (except it’s more like an absence of a swing). Now £40 www.hollybrodie.com/shop/small-w...

‘A fire in a forest’ (2015) I’m having a Studio Sale ahead of a move and I really have no space for this one as it’s quite large… so if you use FOREST10 at checkout there’s currently an extra 10% off www.hollybrodie.com/shop/origina...

Having a bit of a studio clear-out ahead of a move, so all the original paintings for sale on my website are currently discounted www.hollybrodie.com/shop/origina... This one is ‘Totem’

Very happy to see ‘Design and Accident’ hung in the RA Summer Exhibition today, catch up with some artist friends and meet new ones

Work in progress Very glad to have finished the chimneys and television aerials! This one is based on Mantle Street in Wellington, Somerset (my home town)

Really happy that ‘Design and accident’ is going to be in the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition 😊

When you’re small you have to learn how to snarl.

And after you are all done with Sunday School, make sure you are all caught up with Podyssey. The latest episode on Cassandra is a perfect introduction to the series, if you haven't yet dipped your toe. “A man with an easy lie will always be believed above a woman with a hard truth.”

A little sketch from yesterday Oil on canvas board, approx 16x12cm

‘Penguins, perturbed’ (2012) #Tariffs

no idea who made this but it’s genius

Those bastards penguins have been getting away with it this whole time. They can't fool us with that cutesy monogamous waddling crap. America is going to tariff the shit out of them.

I made ‘Accidental tree’ my Studio Special for April because it’s very much of this precise moment in the year www.hollybrodie.com/shop/studio-...

Another exquisite episode

This week's theme was Alone in London. Take a look at the timeline over the last week for full details of these and the rest of the featured pieces.

‘Outburst (Spring 2020)’ This was my post-lockdown painting. It’s the largest I’ve done (76x101cm, which really isn’t that big!). I worked on it from June-December. (I have full-size limited edition prints of this one www.hollybrodie.com/shop/limited...)

This was a special one for me because that day was the first time in London I saw a wild parakeet (now I see dozens every day!) Also it was the first painting (of two, let’s be honest) I got into the RA Summer Exhibition

'In the Company of Birds', Gunnersbury Park (2007) by Holly Brodie hollybrodie.com 👤: @hollybrodie.bsky.social

Good morning! This week's theme is Alone in London. ------ 'Gas Lamp, Goodwin's Court, Bedfordbury End' by Jack Russell jackrussell.co.uk

‘Vacant bungalow’ (2023) Empty properties confront us with unknown stories of their past inhabitants and the awareness that, eventually, we will all vacate the places in which our lives were constructed From my Suburban Geometry series www.hollybrodie.com/suburban-geo...

I absolutely loved this. Astonishingly wide-ranging, but with a compelling, cohesive narrative which is exquisitely delivered. Art, poetry, film, theatre, opera, social media… it’s got everything.

This is unutterably good. Elixir for the ears & mind.

Orange Square, Pimlico, London - March 2025

‘Morning after’ (2011)

‘A fox walks into a bar’ (2012) It’s not a particular pub, but I suppose was inspired by the roads just north of Oxford Street, Marble Arch end. I used to have a part-time job up that way and after-work (actually not always after) drinks were a regular thing.
