gathering …


Sometimes I feel that I am not going anywhere I am not drawing or painting I am not writing I have nothing new on the walls of my garage I have nothing new to put on the blog …

… but if I look around my garage, underneath the chaos, lots is happening

I am gathering and preparing:

flowers and seaweeds are pressed and dried shells are sorted



boards are made ready for painting.


I have got equipment and materials now to work with wax


I have bought a table saw to start cutting up my oak and driftwood…

… and occasionally I get a glimpse of what might happen in the future


so for now I am happy preparing and gathering … but also I am in, on and beside the sea as much as I can. When Summer really arrives in Cornwall the best thing to do is down tools and enjoy it – there will be plenty of winter.
