Not many folk have a national organisation next door - just 9 doors away here in Upton in Nottinghamshire is the Museum of Time Keeping and I am delighted they wanted to have my work in the museum shop. They opened again at the end of May and you can visit them on Fridays and Saturdays.

I’ll probably use this as the basis for an oil painting later.Wonderful to be back in #Staithes after such a long interval! Had a beautiful afternoon at the top of Church Lane looking down into the town. Thistles, nettles, cow parsley and honesty seed heads to the side of the pathway caught my attention.This small ‘Roses on Window Sill’ is an arrangement of salmon pink roses, in a jug - a gift from a neighbour - placed against the backdrop of a side-sash window. (oil on canvas, 30x30cm).This small 'Teazel Study' examines 3 dried stems of teazels, upstanding against the light, in tones of ochre and black (oil on canvas, 20x20cm).
