Ball Hill, Newbury. A companion piece to my painting of Donnington Castle. Acrylic on A3 360 gsm Elements acrylic paper. So lucky to live in such a beautiful part of the country. #art #places #acrylicpainting #artistsonbluesky #landscape #newbury #berkshire #blueskyartshow

Donnington Castle at sunset. Trying new style, and really pleased with the result. Using a magenta ground really made the colours pop. Acrylic on A3 360 gsm Elements acrylic paper. #art #places #acrylicpainting #newbury #britishcastles #artistsofbluesky

Went to see the Kerry James Marshall exhibition at the Royal Academy at the weekend, and have been thinking about it ever since. Astonishing, impactful and beautiful. #kerryjamesmarshall #royalacademy #art

Travel sketching. Costa Rica. Mixed media on toned paper. #art #places #pastel #mixedmedia #artists

“Rooftops” Acrylic and pastel mixed media on cold pressed cotton watercolour paper. A bit of an experiment this, going for a more impressionistic style. #art #places #acrylicpainting #pastel

Crimson and gold. My first ever oil painting! So difficult, but really satisfying to see the final result, even if I made a million mistakes. Oils on gesso-coated mdf board. #art #people #portrait #practice #oilpainting #wonderwoman #dcfanart

Finding it hard to process the terribly sad news about Diogo Jota. Such a talent. Thoughts with his Andre's family. 💔🖤💛

I see Bob Vylan are upsetting all the right people 😀 Give them a listen, they are a fucking amazing band. open.spotify.com/artist/6XgIk...

Pulp opening a wormhole directly back to 1996 at #Glastonbury. Love it 🕺

Red Bus. A value study in one colour, in watercolour. #art #stilllife #places #watercolour #red

Finally got round to seeing Sinners on Saturday. Wow, have been thinking about it ever since. Best film of the year so far.

More practice with acrylics. I learned a lot with this one, both what to do and what not to do! Theme was "thriller". #art #people #practice #acrylicpainting #acrylic #theneondemon #thriller

I have been rewatching Twin Peaks recently, and just got up to THAT episode. 8 years on and it remains a unique piece of screen storytelling. It's a reminder of the power of imagination, that so much of today's tv and film seems to have forgotten. #twinpeaks #lynch #gottalight

Practice with different acrylic and texturing techniques. #acrylic #painting #practice #art

Just finished my first ever watercolour painting (I normally use graphite). Can see a thousand things wrong, but overall pretty happy with how it came out. #art #watercolour #cheetah

So good to have a nice news story right now. Let's all try to be a little more like @mchshe.bsky.social, Michael Sheen. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Absolutely loving #Avowed. @obsidian.net knocked it out of the park. Just completed the Dawntreader side quest and it has been amazing.

Beautiful

Best performance of the season yesterday. Great news about Cunha's contract too. Reasons for some optimism? Bellegarde was fantastic. Starts next match? #wwfc

Quick warning to anyone with an Office 365 account. Microsoft hiked my subscription by 50% without telling me because of the new Copilot AI BS. You can revert back to a standard account but the link is hidden until you turn off the subscription. 😡

I started drawing again. #pencilart

One second from every episode of Twin Peaks.

Raising a cup of damn fine coffee to one of the most unique voices in cinema. RIP Mr Lynch.

Fuck Neil Gaiman. Loved his stories. I grew up on them. Read Sandman every month it came out. I'll never read or watch anything he was involved in again. He needs to be in jail.

Just renewed my home insurance after my existing provider upped the cost by >35%! I'm now paying half as much as I was previously, for better cover. It pays to compare! Wish I'd switched years ago. #thievinggits

Took my youngest to see Warehouse at New Theatre Oxford (it's her favourite book). An absolutely brilliant production both technically and emotionally. Bravo! #warhorse

Typical! Couldn't watch the game today, but sounds like a good performance, again. #wwfc #wolmanu

A belated happy Christmas!

If anyone wants a bit of wholesomeness on this cold and barren Monday morning, here’s Real Betis fans raining down thousands of stuffed toys for disadvantaged children in their annual Christmas tradition

If Cunha isn't available then I think so. Our squad is so thin and we'll need some creativity.

Great first result for the new boss today and a much better performance. Still some worrying defensive frailties to overcome, but a good start 👊🐺 #wwfc

Happy winter solstice everyone! 🌄

Just finished Indiana Jones and the Great Circle. What a fantastic experience. One of the most joyous games I've played in years. Lovely to see the tribute to the late, great Tony Todd in the credits too. #indianajones #machinegames #bethesda

This is incredibly important for any UK based creatives. Protect your work!

My heart is aching after watching the finale of Wolf Hall - The Mirror and the Light. A breath-taking production in every way. #wolfhall #bbc

If you're a non-Autistic person & an Autistic person is telling you about something they experience, or struggle with, and it resonates with you... PLEASE, 🚫 Don't say: "Well, we're all a little Autistic." ✅ Do say: "I find that relatable!" we are asking you nicely, plz plz stop saying that.

Finally! #wwfc

Awful performance today. The players have lost their heads. No leadership on the pitch or off it. Awful. #wwfc

Really enjoying Indiana Jones and the Great Circle. Machine Games have basically distilled and bottled the adventurous fun of the original trilogy. My game of the year possibly.

Finished Dragon Age The Veilguard. What an ending, one of Bioware's best. Oh, and fuck Solas! #datv #bioware #dragonage

Awful game of football all round. Only silver lining is the club might finally get rid of GON. #wwfc

Da and Dawson dropped. It's a start I suppose.... #wwfc #whuwol
