I spotted this fabulous #postbox #topper outside the PO in #Eynsham, #Oxfordshire celebrating the #WorldCup. The details are superb! I especially love the hairstyles of the multi-ethnic footballers, and the little bells on the bunting. Some very talented person had immense fun making this!👏

This Saturday 16 and Sunday 17 May is the last weekend of my #Oxfordshire #Artweeks #exhibition. Here are just a few of the #paintings I’ll be showing.

This reel gives you just FOUR seconds on each image... Gah! The irony of posting paintings created for long looking on a platform built for scrolling swiftly by isn’t lost on me. Still, better a glimpse, eh?

If you want to see them for longer, get over to Mill Street Arts, #Eynsham, #Oxfordshire, OX29 4JU (4 miles west of Oxford) from 11am.

I wasn’t feeling particularly inspired or well for last night’s #lifedrawing session, but I went anyway and joined 12 other #artists, pencils poised, ready to tackle the unclothed human form.

It’s not just the model who is exposed when life drawing. It literally exposes the naked truth about an artist’s abilities. There’s nowhere to hide!

The excruciating doubt I sometimes feel as an artist is lifted when I’m life drawing - I prove to myself that I can do it. And at times not too badly. Plus, it’s immense fun!

I hope you enjoy watching the artists in action. It always feels like a kind of miracle...

Join us for our next session: 20 May at Mill Street Arts, 66 Mill Street, #Eynsham, #Oxfordshire. Arrive at 6.45pm - we start promptly at 7pm. No need to book - just show up!

I bumped into the #GreenMan at the pub on Friday. He was taking a break from his important botanical duties, and was out dancing in the street with the lads of the #EynshamMorris.

I was able to thank him personally for bringing us such a spectacularly beautiful spring this year.
🙏🌱
He looked pleased with his work.

Our #LifeDrawing sessions are popular! We had SIX new artists turn up to have a go last night. One of them said "it's tricky, isn't it?" Yes! And that's the challenge - to get a single line 'right' and drawn with expression is what we all strive for and only rarely achieve.

Our next #FigureDrawing session is Weds 6 May at Mill Street Arts, 66 Mill Street, #Eynsham, #Oxfordshire.

Arrive at 6.45pm - we start promptly at 7pm. No need to book - just turn up!
