Don't you just love curlews! And they look so much better in B&W. Taken on the route to fishing yesterday, which wasn't up to much, but at least the drive provided some wildlife photo opportunities.

The face of eternal bemusement and judgement, all wrapped up in a beautiful package. 1 is certainly for joy! what’s the largest grouping of magpies you have seen? Mine is 4 - so far!

House martins are such sweet little birds! Sadly their numbers are dropping in the UK, but now we are adding swift bricks, reducing pesticides even further and rewilding to bring back native insect numbers… may we have even more martins in the future! (WIP)

Grumpy robin! Fast and fun sketchbook piece, limited palette.... but my Other Half just pointed out that robins need a bright chest and he is not wrong... so I guess I am painting another one very soon!

HAPPY NEW YEAR! This is very WIP - final version is still drying.
2025 was a complicated art year for me. Lots of art, lots of fun, but lots of indecision. I enjoy too many things. 2026, I narrow down my path and mediums...
There will be many birds.

...I have been painting (and scratchboarding) every single day...but my ability to remember to post on socials is almost non-existent.
These little birds bring such joy! So delicate and sweet and fleeting, with the most beautiful of voice!

My lovely doggo has not been well recently, so I missed posting this for day 2 (great start!) so there will be two posts today, lucky you!
Willy Wagtail! a favourite British Birb.

Gosh, I'm in love with scratchboard! This is Porridge. Porridge is an antlered bluetit. Porridge will take none of your sass, thanks! Halfway through, each scratch feels delicious & also terrifying as who knows if it ended up in the right spot!

...just waiting for my precious white pencil to arrive to do final highlights and then this piece is done! Both are gorgeous, gorgeous robins - but are you team GB or team USA?!

Nearly done! I may have to pause on the final touches as I discovered, to my horror, I don’t have another of my favourite white pencils - the only one that makes decent highlights - so I'm about to do an art supplies order (Oh no, what a shame...)

Progress on the two robins. I do so love a British birb! American robin is starting to appear, this is a watercolour pencil wash to get some base colours in.

I'm totally wrapped up in the day job at the moment due to our game being released last week! Here's a sketch from a while ago. This is Porridge. Porridge is a very unusual bluetit. Porridge likes autumn weather, shiny things, and the final series of Startrek Picard.

Final of my abstract acrylic with oils on top. The end result is messy, but I do like the direction it ended up. More experiments to come soon!
