Pegasus Walk, Ely 7” x 5” gouache on paper

Almost there

Starting another small gouache for an upcoming exhibition

So happy with my little pochade box, handmade in Ukraine. Now I can easily transport my painting in progress to whichever room I have available to work in. Plus it’s SO DARNED CUTE

“The Substance” is quite something. An homage to classic 80s body horror with visual nods to Cronenberg, Lynch and Kubrick and a truly bonkers final act, yet something very truthful at its heart. Gross, funny, and tragic.

It seems Gina wore her loooong legs* today. *Leg. Not sure where she’s put the others.

One of the unis we visited when she was still choosing was the one where I met her dad 36 years ago. We got to see all of our favourite old corners of the Student Union and campus, and even one of the halls I lived in. So many of them have en-suite these days. And double beds!

This is my favourite echo chamber youtu.be/v29I0srhPwg?...

Had these delicious Eggs Royale for brunch with the family today. They looked so pretty on the plate, too.

Daughter is now installed in her hall of residence 150 miles away. She is starting to get her bearings and meet other freshers and is enjoying the delights of the nearby Big Tesco. I’m so relieved and happy.
