Today’s self. The mood now a tad more dark and dense, my big pink face squelching off the edges of the paper

Not my usual choice of colours but it's a small way to show support for Ukraine.

Beyond belief. Is this really the man we’re going to fawn over with a State Visit? It’s time for our PM to pick a side

Don’t forget tomorrow is Buy Nothing Day. Total economic blackout. This is where we send the first punch back to the oppressors. Spend nothing for 24 hours. It’s a good day to read a book, take a walk, go to the beach, visit the library, spend time with pets -whatever you want that is free.

“When the Mask Cracked” The 2nd installment of my Garden of Growth series is complete. I had to learn the hard way that my path to growth started unmasking my autism. And that while healing hurts, I was worth allowing myself to do so and foster new growth. #art #illustration #digitalart

#artsky Here's one of my small abstract landscape paintings called Looking North. It's all about my love for the coast of the river Forth and looking north to Fife, where I grew up. Available. #art #painting #mixedmedia #smallbusiness #dailyart #scottishartists #Fife #coastal #acrylicpainting

QRP an art piece you are proud of. I really like the flowing brushstrokes in the sky in this small abstract landscape painting. They seem to have a life of their own.
