5.6 mile loop walk from near Ringmoor Cottage over Ringmoor Down to Gutter Tor and Ditsworthy Warren Farm, then via Edward's Path to Natter and Yellowmead Stone Circles and Sheepstor village...

The photo is of Malmsmead. The church is a short way along the road at Oare. Exmoor, Somerset.

I was there in July... here are a couple of small watercolour paintings I did of Oare Church and also one of Malmsmead.

I've been arranging and framing afternoon - a full set of my Dartmoor Scenes miniatures ready to sell to a colleague and a test run of the full set of my Capital City Landmarks pictures to see how they look altogether.

I've made greetings cards out of some of the earlier ones (Dartmoor Scenes, House Plants, Capital City Landmarks, Cornwall Landmarks, Exmoor Views) and also created 3 x 3 composites for printing as cards or framing (examples below). But I've not had much time to devote to this in recent weeks.

The short timescale for completion is key for me. I can often squeeze a 30 minute painting session into my morning routine but can rarely find time to work on larger pieces. I've not really tried working on a larger piece over multiple days.

You certainly may ask - it's nice to know that there are people out there enjoying my efforts!

Most of my miniature watercolour series pictures (e.g. the London Landmarks) are 5cm squares. They take me ~30 minutes to complete. I mostly paint from images I find online, sometimes from my own photos.

Today provided a gorgeously warm and sunny, late September, Sunday morning walk around the Churchtown Farm Nature Reserve on the edge of Saltash...

That's a symmetree if I am not mistaken...

It was a pleasure to organise this trip and to take such a friendly and enthusiastic group of students down to Newquay for the day last Friday.

Tim O'Hare @timohare.bsky.social · 29d

Here's the next of my #London Landmarks miniature #watercolours, No. 6 - The Tower of London...

...
however wide or deep the chasm, I can build a bridge
that even only spanning imagination offers a moment when
a step can be taken. Then, slowly, I
make progress once more, to come
closer to where I want to go and am able to
scream at the top of my voice: "So What? To hell with it."

...
The gears whirr noisily inside my head,
and The Controller shouts
"STOP. What if?"
"STOP. What if?"
again and again,
at the top of his voice.
