Upton is where I live – a small village between Southwell and Newark-on-Trent in east Nottinghamshire. Looped around the 13th century church are the brick and pantile houses and buildings associated with farming and village life.

Spotted this at @newstead_abbey last week - a peacock sculpture being closely inspected by its real life muse.A run through of my paintings in the @patchings_art spring-themed group #exhibition - ends Sunday 5 May.Final piece of mine in the @patchings_art 'Welcome to Spring' #exhibition which ends this weekend (last day 5 May) - 'The Gilstrap and Bandstand, Newark-on-Trent' (Oil on Canvas, 51x51cm, £825 framed)I like this informal view of the @southwellminster with its glimpse of silhouetted pepper pots over garden hedges and through mature trees all ready for their springtime fuse to be ignited. Whenever I’ve strayed along Bishop's Drive, I’ve always noted the contrast between the grandeur of the ecclesiastical facade rising imposingly behind the domesticity of this unassuming framed wooden door for the garden beyond.'Mathematical Bridge at Queens', oil on canvas, 51x51cm, £750 unframed. At @patchings_art to 5 May in the 'Welcome to Spring' #exhibition. I included this painting, from a #Cambridge field trip, because of its tentative pastel spring foliage, emerging in the flower beds surrounding the Mathematical Bridge of @queens_college. The bridge was rebuilt in 1905 to the original 18th century design of William Etheridge, and leads over the river and up to the Medieval facade of the college. The contrast works perfectly and the geometry of the paving slabs in the foreground seems to resonate with the precise functionality of the bridge.Search Susan’s blog
