Out on a friend's boat today. Seals in the harbour in my lovely town.

Loving this. Just so swirly!

A fine sunshine-y weeding day today at the allotment so a gardening post. This is the potting shed at Heligan that I covet hugely!

I collect shards at my allotment that's on the site of an old municipal top. Would be delighted with this one!

Sweet. Yesterday at the ACC Baltimore Craft Show my quilt "the stillness of winter" found its new home. One more day left. #craftcouncil #makermade #artquilt #stillness #februArty

A print I made way back carving with kitchen tools into a pizza plate. People liked it and kept asking for copies. I obliged until the polystyrene started to fall apart. It was like a self limiting limited edition!

Pond 20x20” (Acrylic on Board) available at shawnmcnulty.com/shop/pond-la... Cool blue and green piece that reminded me of an aerial view of a frozen pond. 🥶 Maybe you see something else? 🤔 👀 #Art #Abstractart #Abstractexpressionism #abstractpainting #painting #fineart #artist

My bookcase before my bloke moved in and said that it was absolutely ridiculous to file books by spine colour. Now organised by genre. Each has a mini rainbow of its own! 🌈

Once upon a time I was a brownie in Essex. ❤️

I love how unusual animals are depicted here. There's even one beginning with X!♥️

Truly grateful to my dyspraxic son for breaking the gravy boat that I never liked. It gave me permission to go out and find this one in one of our local charity shops. ❤️❤️

Such a beautiful collagraph. Another one of those techniques that are definitely on my seemingly endless 'Must Try When I Have Time' list!

I really did find this washed up on a beach about a month ago! Happy Valentine's Day to you all. ❤️❤️❤️

Collage on Gaza After Ceasefire

Found when decluttering my parents home. Circa 1975 judging by my coat. I'm at the signpost on Shoebury East Beach in Essex that showed demarcation between military and public land.

Oh wow! So much to look at. Particularly loving the ammonite.

My friend's beautiful picture on rice paper that he's left me in his will. I'm not bothered about it being on my wall anytime soon!

I love this area of Cornwall. It's so wild and woolly and this art captures it!

Well I guess my abstract of Boston Harbor will have to do for Fishy Friday. What do you think? #FebruArty #fishy #fishyfriday #artquilt #customorder #bostonharbor

When I get a moment...!!! and a decent kitchen sink I'll be back making linocuts. This inspires me. ❤️

This is the embroidered fabric design. I posted the original previously. It's one of those images I think you may need to take a moment or two with to get the full effect. #embroidery
