But not in Dorset.
Sleep tight.
At first glance I thought it was an abstract painting 🤣
I'm not fond of either of them.
I'll look for it.
Very pleasant here if a bit breezy!
Definitely a voice thing!

Whistler visited Venice in 1879 after losing all his money with his famous libel suit against John Ruskin. This scene is superbly arranged: smoke from coloured flares adds to the drama of night-time view of the Grand Canal and the Santa Maria della Salute.
I just*might* have painted Two things I'm reasonably happy with, which is most strange. I might change my mind in the morning..
Absolutely.

John Constable(1776-1837) ‘Weymouth Bay Bowleaze Cove & Jordon Hill’ oil on canvas 1816. Seen on a visit to the National Gallery.
You've trained him that way..
Precisely. The stream with the twisted mossy trees in the valley is gorgeous - Jago used to love it. Let's not tell too many people..
Don't you have a cat flap?
I love it, always have, always will. And the walk from there to Haytor is wonderful (and never crowded).
They look so content!
*enys* as in island . Looked it up and it was Richard Morant, I remember swooning..
I'm trying to remember who played Dr Ennis..
I would be happy with a wonky one 😄
I didn't realise ovals were hard 🤦
I read the books when I was about 13/14 and don't remember much about them. Sometimes it's nice to escape for a few hours..
I mean it. I don't have much money but love ceramics and your work. And I know only too well how frustrating it can be. I frequently want to throw my paintings in the bin (sometimes do). I tell myself this saves me from mediocrity!! PS. An Oval soap dish would be welcome as my soap comes in oblongs
I have huge admiration for your work and have been waiting for a bowl.. Keep going, you're brilliant!
I was feeling a bit low so went to the iPlayer and have been happily submerged in Poldark for the last 2 hours. Yes, I know it's nonsense with lousy accents but I enjoy identifying the locations and it is a good yarn. Comforting television for a wet & windy evening.
I have a good feeling about him.
Lovely #Dartmoor
Excellent news on all fronts 🥂

You can find him here @jonathanliew.bsky.social
He doesn't suffer fools gladly..
He is so very good. Always worth reading!
Gorgeous, reminds me of some Constable paintings ❤️
Recommend reading even if you have no interest in football or sport..

Quite possibly. Or even a bastardisation of a Cornish language word?? We have a Horse Rock here as well as a Gull Rock.
Hope I'm not too late for the party! I still love this and the cover.
I wonder how many Gull Rocks there are around the country..
❤️
Brentor church view.
Why didn't you just try to win, Arne?
At a loss to understand why disposable barbecues aren't completely banned.
Not as pretty a village as Boscastle but the topography is very similar. Unlike Boscastle though, we have a lovely beach.
Here it is in St Ives. Whethfyans an Mortyd (Surge of the Tide). Oil and log ash. It's based on the harbour in my village and rising seas.
There's lovely movement in this Nichola
The finished biro drawing of the ancient oak in Bluebell Woods, Plymouth. The last for #drawingaugust It’s been great to see all the drawings people have contributed for the month, especially on this platform. Looking forward to next year already!😉😁👍✏️ #trees #drawingtrees
Jill Eisele ‘Summer Squall Over Newlyn’ oil on canvas.
Peter Lanyon(1918-64) ‘Porthleven’ oil on board 1951. Seen on a recent visit to Tate St Ives.

Not at all. It was exhibited at St Ives Society Open a couple of years ago. Just happens to be my favourite. What I'm happy with seems to be at odds with the rest of the world 😂
I'll try. And I'm hoping my second field will feel more like I wanted 😎
Thanks so much Gary, I really do struggle and sometimes feel like giving up. Some people seem to think art is relaxing!
About nine of them. Two are in my bedroom, one in my kitchen and my "best" one is wrapped up on top of a wardrobe. The others were sold.
Thank you! I really Am very unhappy with it though.
Huge thanks for the kind comments and advice, it has escaped the bin for now. Meanwhile I'll attempt to finish the second painting of the same field (different view) I started at the same time. I doubt I'll ever want to paint a barley field ever again!
inkwarp ( self-portrait with polka dot tie) ink and spite #art#drawing#inkart#ink
I would be honoured and delighted 😆
Not something I've ever done except for Sloe Gin 😄
To anyone wanting to translate something into Cornish (Kernewek): DO NOT TRUST any AI-based "translators". The one in the thread below is so utterly wrong it's ridiculous. 🙀 For translations by real people who actually understand Kernewek, try www.cornwall.gov.uk/parks-leisur...
Wow! I bet you'll be very happy come Christmas 😀
I've just ordered a pizza
Atlantic Ocean III (Copacabana Beach), Brazil, 2003, Nadav Kander
It has happened to us all 🤣
Thank you Laurel, that's very kind.
Thanks Nathan, will do!
Thank you!
Ha! I'll try to remember that in future. Thank you!
Thank you!
Going for a Song!!
Thanks Tim, I might just do that 😊 In other news I have another one of the same field (different view) that I started at the same time and yet to resolve. I must be a glutton for punishment..
I was so trying to convey the sunshine. Most of my work is much moodier and dark so I found it really difficult.
Thank you! And given all the lovely positive feedback maybe I wont
Thanks so much Sam
Thanks so much Jane. You've made me Beam ❤️
Thanks June, I had hidden it for nearly a month but somehow still couldn't Find it..
❤️
Oh Jon, If Only it did!!
Thank you so much, you seem to have seen something that escapes me but maybe I'm too close to it.
Thanks Sue. I wish I did!
I've been battling with this sodding painting for months. What ever possessed me to decide to paint a sunny barley field? Not at all happy with it but thought I'd share to show I've been painting & what an effing tortuous process it can be. Might be destined for the bin 24x24 inches Oil on MDF
Since 1st September 2011. Guess I've an anniversary on the horizon
I was married for 22 years.
That tunic is painted gorgeously.
Green is such a beautiful color
Only with my now ex husband.
But does it beat Chips?
Proper!
I did.
I've never had fondant potatoes. Quite frankly, I would rather have chips.
But I didn't have my swimsuit with me!
Chance would be a fine thing!
I have seen some paintings he did of the Brunel bridge so quite possible.
I've wanted to visit there for some time. Need to persuade my Dad's wife next time I'm in Herts.
There's a Community Apple Pressing Day at Tamar Grow Local, Kelly Bray on Sat 13 Sep (mailchi.mp/08ba76dc2b5a...) meanwhile I'm making tarte tatin for Mrs N's birthday, apple butter, and stewed apple for porridge and crumble... other ideas welcome as it's an abundant year 🍏🍎🍏🍎 #Devon #Cornwall
I thought the estimate seemed a bit low.. I wondered if Kettles Yard will try to get it given the link to Jim Ede.
Agreed. I'm guessing they have some information not in the article to identify the location.
Thank you for your confidence in me 😊
