#i have missed you pally!! xx

[lymphomalass]

I’ve been missing my friends on social media while helping out with palliative care and a bereavement in the older generation of our little family. But with the funeral having taken place on Monday and the widow doing much better than I feared, I’m going to try and make a little more time for the things I love to do. I actually really love my work, painting and sharing what I do here. So despite the current sadness, I’m actually very lucky!

Anyway, I’m really delighted to show you a painting I created last month. It’s of a greylag goose on the Derwentwater foreshore.

I’m not selling the original, as I used a variety of kitchen supplies and some writing pen ink: Quink ink, turmeric, pickled walnut and red cabbage vinegar, ground coffee left-overs and ground and pure sea salt from Halen Môn in Wales. It was an exercise in seeing how far people with next to no budget for art materials can get. But I just don’t know how these ingredients will stand up over time, so I’m not going to sell anyone something that might fade!

But it is available available in a mix of different types and sizes of prints, and printed on all sorts of lovely things (like accessories, apparel, homewares, gift items, etc), using commercial inks that should endure, at:

… and if you buy from them, I receive 20% of the sales price, before the shipping costs are added.

Thanks!
