Pastel painting of a hare, ‘what you looking at?’ 26 x 20cm

The bicycle ride, the foxgloves & the painting.

It’s parked waiting for fresh eyes.

On the easel and in progress. The chaos of a meadow filled with grasses and wild carrot and the fleeting moment of sunset glow.

The Puymerle clearing exudes a special sense of tranquillity; once a resting place for pilgrims, it is home to an underground chapel. Today, the surrounding forest provides a refuge for wildlife. #landscape #art #pastel

Sorry I can’t, I’m cat pinned.

A new linocut print for garden and nature lovers. Here in the Charente snails are known as cagouilles and are a popular emblem of the region, less popular in the garden. #linocut #gardening #bees

Sunlit bearded iris. Small study in soft pastel.

Revisited, resized and a few touches added. It’s good to go through old work, sometimes you find a little gem. I hope cyclists find this and enjoy looking at it. I’ve no idea how this algorithm works. Let’s try #cycling #art #foxglove #bumblebee

Two pics to give a flavour if the ride today. Charente lanes are all this and no cars. #cycling #lanes #charente

Roses and wisteria, soft pastel. 60 x 40cm framed 70 x 50cm. On hold. From a beautiful reference pic I ‘grabbed’ a while ago that I believe is by sarahpricelandscapes. I particularly enjoyed working in the shadows of this.
