My magnolia is doing weird things. In twenty years it's never produced whatever this is? Fruit?

Pink fruit of a Magnolia tree. Close up.

The Mystery of Edwin Drood. Dickens' unsettling mystery is perfect for a stormy evening ✨

Elgar's Dream of Gerontius conducted by Kazuki Yamada with the wonderful CBSO + CBSO chorus who were phenomenal.
Sadly no Toby Spence but Benjamin Hulett was brilliant, as were Jess Dandy and Roderick Williams.

Having Grayson's voice in your ear explaining his work and how art can heal was really moving. Have a lovely time! ✨

Just been to the Wallace Collection, Hertford House. Grayson Perry exhibition there that takes some of the magnificent works and reimagines them. Love link between 18th century collection and modern times. Clever, thought-provoking but totally accessible.

A chubby crucian carp on the way. Found a lovely little oval frame so painting this on acrylic primed cardboard. Who knows if this will work!
Lots to do and some hornwort weed for movement.

Just finished Hardy's Two on a Tower. Beautiful, heart breaking and such rich detail of nature and place. A Margery Allingham lined up next, Mystery Mile.

Thank you. FC very generously allows her photos to be used as artist's reference. They're so good I want to paint them all. This I second time I've painted this hare!
