The sunlight never changes. Doesn’t get lighter or darker.

Another painting of parrot tulips, this time a pastel. These are in a favourite vintage glass jug which is a bit wonky and I like that. This was framed and sold and I think I probably pastelled out the white blank area top right

Would someone in corporate media please confront him with facts at a news conference. And then someone else follow after his ridiculous answer. You might lose your job, but it’s guaranteed to get you another. Or at least you have your dignity.

If only they would. That’s been the problem for the last 10 years. It’s the job. If you get fired, find something you’re good at.

If this isn’t a war crime, idk what is.

I’ve questioned the same. Why does wrestling trend? Really? Nothing against it, but a top trend? Consistently?

And knowing just this, Palm Beach wants to rename the airport after this guy. Unbelievable.

A plein air watercolour drawing of the Thames looking towards Blackfriars bridge from 1995.

As the previous watercolour drawing of the Thames from 1993 received a good response here's another from a similar spot a couple of years later. #watercolour #London #TheThames

The U.S. deported a gay asylum-seeker to a third country where homosexuality is illegal Being gay in Morocco is illegal and punishable by up to three years in prison. But it was the violence from her family that forced Farah, a 21-year-old gay woman, to flee the country.

Women throughout history have been on the forefront vocally fighting for civil rights, voting rights, equality, justice, humanity. Not stopping now.

A loosely drawn sketch of Magdalene Street, Cambridge with Magdalene College on the right. Indian ink with watercolour and some heightening with white.

Watercolour drawing looking up Magdalene Street in Cambridge over the bridge. I think the young lady who bought this from me unframed was from Japan.

A new series of urban nocturnes. It’s only fitting to kick it off with one of the ugliest signs of em all- a mixture of brutalist sensibility and a LiteBrite from the 80s.

Kid Rock wrote the perfect MAGA song long ago 'Young ladies, young ladies, I like ’em under age, see.' Yeah, we see all right.

Sam Bellamy's latest at Fight the Fire:

"When Kid Rock performs at Turning Point USA’s Super Bowl halftime show, let’s hope he sings his contribution to the unofficial soundtrack for the Epstein files."

I think the writers went too far in leading viewers down the path of a resolution and could have provided another plot line, to continue the series. It’s all made up, but at this point I’ve lost interest in what happens next, which all good series give viewers. 12 hours is enough 😂 maybe just me.

I think I’ve seen enough of the Dickie Roper character. Of evil winning. Too much right now. I’m out for any season 3 of The Night Manager. Even if he is taken out, I just don’t care anymore.

Waves and gray at John’s Bay, Maine. Plein air watercolor from summer.

I agree. I would not watch a season three. That was awful.

A textured, postage-stamp style illustration labeled “Birbfest 2026 25¢.” A black-and-white oyster catcher with long pale legs and a bright orange beak stands on yellow sand beside a smaller chick. White sparkles float around them on a soft teal-to-purple gradient background, with a tiny pink shell on the right.

Agree 100 percent with you.

Garden watercolour drawing with ripe plum tomatoes and G in her sun hat.

Watercolour drawing (quite large) of the garden a couple of summers ago. A very hot year and we had a good crop of plum tomatoes.

You can’t reform this.

Throw the whole department away.
