Let there be Guppies

I have just discovered guppies. How did that take so long? It’s funny how many things I’ve been completely disinterested in until I drew one and suddenly shazaam. Instant obsession! It happened for a while with ships when I went down to the docks one day with my mum to paint the old tugboats at [...]

There's something in the air…

Did you notice it? Those almost imperceptible spices in the breeze, a far-off snatch of music, the pricking of the thumbs…  Yes, the blog is now a journal. Already, I feel different. Faster, stronger, smarter! I hope everyone is getting a bit of a break and feeling terribly relaxed and replete. Can you believe there’s a [...]
