Lino block (68 x 45cm) while being cut; then inked with linseed oil ink and printed onto linen. It needs more pressure, but the prints on japanese paper were ok.
Owl and Mouse
Nearly 40 years ago I was asked to make a painting of an owl with a recently caught mouse. I’m not keen on animals, neither for eating nor for painting. Maybe that’s why I have delayed this picture for so long, I don’t like painting.
Anyway, this is how far it’s gone. Tinted graphite pencils on paper, 27 x 38cm.

Today I was cutting the little circles above the moons and below ‘rhaid deall’. All going well, it took most of an Archive Hour on the radio. Then, of course, there’s always a critic who has to sniff around the entire block.

White Poppy
Watercolour in progress. Might be too cluttered, we'll see…

Street Art
Yesterday, while leaving the house, I encountered some people who were keen to know if I believed the universe had been designed. They seemed friendly. My thoughts about everything and everyone being accidental probably weren’t the correct response.
Not that this orange cone landed accidentally. Or did it?
Art is everywhere, if you look.
