New paintings and regular art updates.
I’ve just finished these two acrylics on canvas (in my living room as you can see by the background) both are 16×12 inches. Acrylic on canvas. Called “Barn owl after a photo by David Tipling” and “Plains Zebra”.
I might try and get a few tiny paintings done too.

I had a nice surprise this morning. A friend messaged me to say there was an article about the hotel she works at on the Spode site in Stoke on Trent.
When I looked at it I noticed one of my paintings in the photo of one of the bedrooms! I had wondered where it had gone to because it was not downstairs in the Works canteen cafe we go to at the hotel.
I wish it wasn’t such a tiny photo, because its hard to see much detail, but I’m going to be painting a few more pictures that will be for sale in the hotel.
The buildings around Spode are very inspiring because of the industrial architecture and archaelogy on the site.
So, that was good news. Hope to have more soon.

There is a whole cluster of poppies in poor soil round the corner from where I live.
These are tall oriental ones. But we also have Welsh poppies which are yellow and orange. We have grown ladybird poppies which are red and black and we once grew a Himalayan poppy, (mecanopsis?) which is bright blue.
So inevitably they get into my photos and paintings…..
Poppy, poppy, I see you flutter, blue sky, red headed beauty
Poppy, poppy, mediaeval sleep enhancer, narcotic, danger.
Poppies, poppy, seeds for flavour, thriving on old building sites.
Poppies, poppies, memories of war, petals fluttering down upon our heads.
Papaver, poppy , horticultural star. Giver of colour and Sun.
