Good morning! I have been off work for over two months now and I finally feel like I am making the most of my time at home. My creativity has been flowing – in photography and art and I have some exciting projects underway. I have continued painting with the acrylics and have had a …
Whoa it’s big 🙂 The USS Theodore Roosevelt aircraft carrier is currently moored in the Solent just off the peninsular where I live because it is far too big to fit into Portsmouth Harbour! It is colossal! I got up early this morning and it was sunny with a heavy frost. My hands ached …

Last week was the first time I have participated in Free Art Friday (#freeartfriday) I found it an exhilarating experience even though it wasn’t truly my art that I was distributing but a copy of My dog sighs work. I was over the moon when I accidentally came across someone on Twitter who had …
OK, first off, I have an admission to make. I can’t do the one picture a day challenge! There are just too many pictures out there to take and it is such a beautiful day! I went out today for a long walk around town and found several things that I wanted to capture …

I have been busy with other stuff…. and I realised just now that I hadn’t picked up my camera for a few days. So what’s going on?! The weather has been lousy and I think I am so obsessed with light and shadows that on a dull day I just don’t see anything …

You have to keep talking to artists, seeing their work, hearing how they work, why they work and also get to try …

Day six, I am quite impressed with myself for getting to nearly a week without cheating. For six days I have taken one picture only, no deleting, and posted whatever I took. I can’t say it’s been high art but it has been very interesting. I have found it hard, not the …

It’s a glorious day here (after yesterday being so drab) and I have already seen at least a dozen things I want to photograph! So I am feeling a little frustrated, but they are all things I could come back to – I think if I saw something that was a one off, then …

It’s a dull day here and I wasn’t expecting to see anything today – I relish shadows and reflections so much – everything looked rather plain. Doing the mindful photography means that rather than searching for a picture, you wait for a picture to come to you – Lee calls this “receiving” a picture, I …
