Good morning.

I now have a website again! And a shop for people in England, Scotland, and Wales. And excellent stockists for the rest of the world. And a newsletter. And you can find it all here tamzincavendish.co.uk That’s quite enough tech, back to my happy place with pigments and pens 😅 #artist #art

The geologist James Hutton was born in Edinburgh 300 years ago tomorrow. Two slices of Scottish geology I (an ecologist) have enjoyed studying. The Moine Thrust Mylonites at Faraid Head, Balnekeil Bay and lichens on a basalt dyke in Lewisian gneiss, Raasay. #geology #JamesHutton #DeepTime #Scotland
