It was icy cold at the market in Mailly-le-Chateau this morning, but there was something wonderful about it ❄️ ...especially as there was a little fire 🔥 too to warm hands every now and then. #yonne #bourgognefranchecomte #artisanmarket #winter #hiver

Cloud yesterday evening... We had fine snow shortly before and more overnight with patches of hail.
Nuage hier soir... On a eu une neige fine avant et encore pendant la nuit, avec la grele dans quelques parts.

En progres... Mon mari m'a dit. 'Ca me plait, mais je ne comprend pas.'. 'Moi non plus!', j'ai repondu. Je travail sur une theme, mais intuitivement ici.

Je vais travailler avec un peu de romarin sur la table, a cote de moi, aujourd'hui. J'entend souvent que ca aide la concentration.
I'm going to work with some sprigs of rosemary on the table, beside me, today. I often hear that it helps with concentration.

I've listed three pieces of original, framed artwork in my online shop: amandatamsin.fr/collections/...
P.S. This is one of my favourite paths. I once saw two red squirrels here, so close. One rufous and the other black, a variety usually found closer to the Alps.

Second layer on my latest project... Paintings of a fountain 'Le loup qui pleure' which was sculpted by Yves Varanguin. These are in gouache, but I shall probably do some in other media too and see what emerges...

Felt the drop in temperature today. Time to bring in the desert plants... These amazing aloes were grown by my mum. Pachyphytum, Echeveria and the particularly tender Crassulas also came inside.

It's that time again... Late evening, brain is tired, but can happily #slowstitch. It's therapeutic and mindful. No perfection or re-doing. Starting with the running stitch to join together fabric scraps. In the next layer, I'll add a new stitch - suggestions?

I like to create layers in my artwork - they may be random and organic, they may hold stories... These layers are not my own, but I was drawn to them whilst walking around #Auxerre.

Was working on a new project yesterday 🐺 (more on this soon) Though, today has been a day of semi-hibernation and playful art in one of my boomerang art journals (collaborative effort with Liling, my art journal buddy). Cut round an old drawing here.

Aeoniums doing well. It has taken a while, but they seem to like this autumn. The green one does better outside than the purple-black one (I think slugs were the problem).
