Donnington Castle at sunset.
Trying new style, and really pleased with the result. Using a magenta ground really made the colours pop.

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.

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

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.

More practice with acrylics. I learned a lot with this one, both what to do and what not to do! Theme was "thriller".

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.

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

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