July Newsletter - New Project & Under Milk Wood announcements. XXX bhhawkins.com/so/75PWExy4T...

Currently working on a new large project, it’s a surprise and probably the most complex project I’ve ever attempted. It will take years for me to complete my vision. But I hope you can stay around and watch it develop. #art#illustration#drawing#pencildrawing#bookstagram#booksbooksbooks

Sorry I’ve been so quiet for awhile, black dog days! But my 2026 calendar has just dropped and I’m so happy with it. On my website now www.bhhawkins.com

Come and say Hi if you are in the area, I’m not nearly as scary as my photo! Heads up the Cwtsh is tiny so come a bit early to get a seat❤️

Such a beautiful day, painting some of my favourite flowers daisies. I will be posting the finished painting soon. When finished it will be available as a card & art print on my Etsy shop: www.etsy.com/uk/shop/Bonn... #greetingcards#wildlifelovers#paintings#artprints#magicalart#flowers#daisies

My latest newsletter is now available. Thank you for reading and sharing.

Beautiful sunny morning in Glastonbury and look what I spotted in the fabulous The Hollow Hills bookshop. This book features 9 of my original pencil illustrations and its quickly becoming a best seller. Totally amazed and grateful for all your support. 🌸🌸🌸

A little something that I’m working on. #watercolor #art#painting#fae#fairy#fox#wip. 🧚‍♀️❤️🌸🌸🌸

Walking pass my local bookshop and spotted my book, my illustrated version of Under Milk Wood in the window! Almost wanted to cry. And in such good company! Thank you @rossiterbooks.bsky.social

Great crowds @momamachynlleth today for the start of my Under Milk Wood Exhibition. The show is on until 5th April so lots of time to visit this fabulous part of the world and see the drawings🌸🌷🌷Plus meeting new friends #artexhibition #undermilkwood #drawings #dylanthomas#pencildrawing

Where it began! My Under Milk Wood exhibition making its first appearance at @hayfestival in 2024. Tomorrow I’m driving up to @momamachynlleth which is the next stop on the tour! Be sure to pop in and see it if you’re in mid wales #undermilkwood #dylanthomas #welshart #hayfestival #exhibition

Not just saying this bc I have a yarn shop but now more than ever folks need to lean into arts as forms of resistance. Fascism takes away everything including joy & creativity. Use music, fiber arts, pottery, painting, poetry, dancing, etc as weapons. Here's some peacock color yarn. Coming soon. 🧶

It's almost time ⏳

It’s very early to be thinking about the summer solstice, but this Mucha piece I finished this week is getting me in the mood. Hoping for brighter days 🌞⭐️🌷 . . #alphonsemucha #mucha #art#naturegoddess #spirituality #summer#watercolor #watercolour

Here’s another one of my Mucha inspired paintings that I’ve been working on lately. I love owls and could not resist including one in this winter themed painting. 🦉🌸🦄🦋 . . #WIP #workinprogress #watercolor #watercolour

A bit late to #FolkloreSunday but those that know me will realise I have a bit of a passion for crows and ravens.

“The first bird surprised me… Engraved in memory: black leather legs, rictal bristles on the beak, an aluminium eye, and every wing-feather filigreed by white light so I could feel the hooks and barbules holding each one together, a chain mail” #NatureWriting www.littletoller.co.uk/the-clearing...
