Just examining the "butt" of my current #wip and it reminds me of those little green and blue sweets which were seed shaped and felt like they were made of polystyrene 🤣 Another 70s flashback! Anyone else remember them?

I think my commission may be finished. Again, it needs to sit on the back of the sofa for a bit. I'm not sharing the full image just yet, here is a teaser of a bit you haven't seen so far.

Before I forget! For #FirstFridayArtWalk with @DoomsdaysCW this month I give you "70s vibe" An abstract on recycled coffee sack inspired by childhood memories from the 70s. I find abstract a great way of visualising my #ADHD brain's random musings 🙃
Hopefully this will be on display, and for sale, at Derbyshire Emporium in Bakewell from tomorrow.

Spent a pleasant day chopping up coffee sacks kindly donated to me by Buxton Coffee Roasters. I had an abstract urge and used a bag from our regular coffee order for a little study which I hope to frame tomorrow. Does anyone remember Issy Noho? #ChildOfTheSeventies 🤣

I'm happy with this now, blocked and stretched ready for framing. However I haven't got a name for it. It's an autumnal view of Sheepwash Bridge in Ashford in the Water, near Bakewell in Derbyshire. I usually have a play on words for my titles but I'm struggling for inspiration. Any ideas?

I think this is finished 🤔 It will sit on the back of the sofa for a bit, until I'm sure, and I will share a better pic once it has been blocked.
I'm on duty at Chatsworth this morning if you're passing (unlikely I know at the weather is atrocious!) I'll try and remember to take a few pics of the display.
