- I'm currently warming up a bag of white clay in preparation for making more of my perennially popular ceramic birds crownstudiogallery.myshopify.com/products/cer...
- And here we are again... yet another grey, misty, moisty morning in Rothbury. It really is dismal out there. Inside Crown Studio Gallery I've got my daylight lamp at full beam and paintings full of light and colour to enjoy. But still, come on sun, get a grip!! This is tedious. #February
- Fields of poppies are becoming a rarity. Places where they once held their scarlet heads high are now housing estates. They are pushed to field edges with other meadow flowers, planted to help pollinators. I know homes are needed, but it is still sad to watch a favourite flower quietly disappear.
- Today's a day for signing, mounting and bagging prints. The light isn't suitable for painting today. Even with "daylight" overhead lighting and a "daylight" lamp, the ambient light remains too cold and blue for painting anything other than snow. #Rothbury #Northumberland #Artist #challenge
- If you're anything like me, you're sick of grey skies, foggy vistas and unremitting rain. My escape is to soak in the sunshine in my paintings. Give it a try! If you're in Rothbury come to Crown Studio Gallery. If not see crownstudiogallery.myshopify.com Coast, castles, countryside, puffins and more
- Are you a local accommodation provider using the quieter pre Easter period to refresh your property? I offer prints of much loved Northumbrian places, from coast to hills. View online or visit the gallery for lower prices. Larger canvas versions also available. crownstudiogallery.myshopify.com
- The walk to Thrum Mill is such a popular one that I expected this painting would be sold to someone locally. But no. It's off to its permanent new home in Scotland. crownstudiogallery.myshopify.com/.../walking-.... But its "sister" painting (attached pic) is still available and just as evocative.
- Today it did not rain in Rothbury. So @pottedhistory.bsky.social and I repotted the wisteria. It feels like a milestone, because it's needed doing for 3yrs, but he's been too ill each year during that window of opportunity- pneumonia, flu, then cancer. So it's great that he's fit and strong now.
- Drip, drip, drip… it is another grey and soggy day outside. Craving a bit of sunshine and a pop of colour? My paintings and prints might be your best option today. See Crown Studio Gallery in Rothbury, or online here- crownstudiogallery.myshopify.com My packs of cards are great value.
