Nice light in the studio this afternoon #WinterCold
I saw this when refilling our bottles at the organic milk station. The rain had almost stopped. I was listening to Captain Beefheart and thinking about my dear friend who died recently #SomethingISawToday

artworks – The artwork of Kel Portman

Not a caterpillar - On a frosty May morning, a group of European Bee-eaters perched on a branch gave the impression of a caterpillar at first glance. The vibrant colours of their feathers, with shades of green, blue, and yellow, seemed to blend together and create a fluffy, caterpillar-like appearance. It's also a winning image in Adult Category of European Wild Wonders photo competition, November 2011. José Luis Rodríguez
This could be the start of something. #SomethingISawToday

artworks – The artwork of Kel Portman

I've a history of time-based projects. So, I'm posting some pieces from #BlackSquares365 where I created an 8" square artwork from scratch every day for a year. Each piece the same, very affordable £40. I called it "distributed art": lots of people can own their own piece and have a share in the larger artwork, an artwork that no one person can ever own and nobody will ever see in its entirety.

So here is "320", Posca pen on gessoed Aquafine paper.
