Month: July 2023

Acrylic and charcoal on birch ply – 25 x 20cm.

Views from my new garden, the fields that stretch northwards and a wild patch of brambles beyond the garden wall.

Gilded by the early morning sun the swifts glow with each arc of their wing, renting and folding the fabric of the still dawning sky. Winding threads of air round and round the spire of the kirk, squealing their delight as the bell tolls the hour.

Tomorrow we move house, not far away, a little further down the coast. I shall miss the swifts.

Drawing for a larger painting using the only materials I haven’t yet packed. I move house very shortly.
