I made a coaster for my desk out of a piece of beach slate! It’s not very arty but I was just testing out some new acrylic pens. (Late again for the blue Sky art show feed) #BlueSkyArtShow #OpenHouse #art #artist #craft #painting #tea #coaster

Gemini constellation outside my window. Jupiter looking bright. I am fascinated by our universe it’s so amazing. #blueskyartshow #sky #stars #astronomy #gemini #jupiter

I’m early this time for the BlueSkyartshow!! Taken in Normandy. The photographer & the sky. #Sky #blueskyartshow #photography

I’m a bit late for the Bluesky sky art show! What you’re looking at here is an illusion. It’s actually a warm steaming pile of cow dung and a puddle of water! #blueskyartshow #warmth #photography #art #nature #farm

Misty London. City of Secrets 2025 in super technicolour!! If only the original looked this vivid!! I need new paints! #london #art #blueskyart #watercolour #watercolor #painting #drawing #illustration

Tried painting a fox. Her eyes are too big I know but I’m leaving them or I’ll ruin her I think! 🤔 #blueskyart #watercolour #watercolor #fox #snow #painting #craft #handmade

2024 I experimented with different styles (using some you tube tutorials) but ended up throwing them. It’s good to experiment though I think. #blueskyart #watercolour #watercolor #artist #painting #watercolourart

I was playing around and wanted something Bluey/Greeny to go in a room!! Acrylic/gold leaf. #blueskyart #watercolour #art #acrylic #abstractart #sea

It’s been a busy month. I’m painting lots of little gifts at the moment. #acrylic #art #paint #craft #christmas #watercolour #handmade

An oldie called ‘Put your arms around me’ 2009. I know it looks messy but I liked the effect. Do you remember your first dance? #art #watercolour #artist #watercolor #painting #dance

I’ve been painting wood slices! I’m making up stock for our Christmas craft fair although these don’t look very Christmassy!! Maybe I should put a Santa hat on him!! Hmmm! #art #watercolour #crafting #wood #painting #handmade #halloween #christmas

Has anyone photographed a painting ready to sell only to discover you’ve painted a tiny hair in it!!! Then you can’t un-see it and out come your brushes again possibly to ruin the whole thing!! 🧐 #art #watercolour #watercolorart #painting #artist #acrylic

I like painting on wood slices! I painted a few of these and added a few rhinestones for sparkle. #crafting #painting #birds #fishing #artist #art #acrylic #handmade

I’ve been crafting. I’ve made tiny jars with sand and hidden treasure. A useless invention but I enjoyed making them!! A desk fiddler! Can you imagine if the jar came open though!! #craft #art #design #inventions #seaside #fishing #artist

Sherlock and Watson walk home. I used to draw cats as Sherlock & Watson in all different scenarios. #art #watercolour #watercolor #sketch #artists #draw #illustration

Moonlight kiss. #art #watercolour #illustration #sketch #artist #draw #watercolor

I painted this years ago and after I sold it I kept a photo of it and played around using special effects! It’s so old I can’t reverse this bubble effect anymore! Oh dear! #art #watercolour #watercolor #illustration #sketch #draw #paint #beach

Left alone with sparkly paints I had to have a play. Obviously I need to practise a bit but I’m feeling a stained glass effect!!

I do love using bright colours especially with masking fluid. #art #watercolour #watercolor #illustration #sketch #artist #watercolourart #draw

Arctic galaxy. I threw this away and only have a photo of it. I was playing with colours and dark paintings. #art #watercolour #watercolor #sketch #paint #illustration #artists

I can’t remember what I called this!! Probably ‘Summer Rain’ It’s out of the archives. #art #watercolour #watercolor #sketch #illustration #artist

Letter to Grandpa. - Some of these pictures are from 2010 from an old online album I forgot I had. It’s quite nice to see them again. You forget what you’ve painted. #art #watercolour #watercolor #watercolourart #sketch #illustration #artists #paint #draw

I’ll look after you. - I remember painting two of these but they looked very different. (To me) I decided to forgo my attempt at the Mona Lisa as I’d be a terrible forger!! #art #watercolour #watercolor #watercolourart #sketch #illustration #artist #painting

Misty London. I said I can’t draw buildings so don’t zoom in on this mess! I couldn’t throw it away though! It’s a bit weird and I like weird! #art #watercolour #watercolor #sketch #illustration #paint #artists #london

Beach Breeze. Another oldie. #art #illustration #watercolour #watercolor #sketch #artists #paint #draw

I just wanted to say how much I’m enjoying @bsky.app at the moment. No adverts trying to sell me stuff and no one telling me to eat this or that or look like this etc. Just lots of lovely people who are interested in the same things as me and some fantastic art!! Win win!! #bksy #art #watercolour

Late again. (Again!) If I sold a painting when I was younger - I used to get excited and try and paint another one in a different colour! Which is why you may have seen this in a plum colour. #art #watercolour #watercolor #illustration #sketch #artists #paint #draw

Literature Lady. 2011. I discovered today, as I’m on holiday that I cannot paint houses! I had a go outside sitting by the sea and my painting was horrendous! I do prefer to just imagine, rather than copy. #art #watercolour #watercolor #sketch #illustration #artists

Love is in the Air. Another blast from the past. I know there are no faces in my paintings and thats because I’m not very good at painting them! I have tried but they end up looking like a smily emoji or Jack Nicholson from The Shining!!

@magonzales.bsky.social That makes sense - soggy pages! Thanks for the comment - you’ve given me an idea for a new painting! ‘The Messenger’
