@Mr_ian_B We’ve all been there 😌

After all of the blue skies today I fancied white wine, & it was on special offer. But I bought lots of heavy duty charcuterie & smoked cheese, plus the temperature has plummeted. Luckily I bought a bottle of red too. So that's lovely Thank you for your attention on this matter

@VexHill @warrenkluck Yes, it’s brilliant. It was before the tv show, very similar. It’s on Audible.

@hadwidia @warrenkluck Nope. Didn't know anything about it. Are the Conchord guys in it?

Health experts claim eating two kiwis can help with constipation. And that is how I came to eat the entire Flight of the Conchords.

@VexHill @warrenkluck Have you listened to the radio show set in London? X

@warrenkluck Omg, that series was tooooo funny! I bought the series on DVD and it still makes me laugh! 🤣🤣🤣

Today’s art session with Saplings was lovely. They seemed to enjoy it and were brilliant at tidying up! I’m hoping to start putting together art ideas for younger children for schools and families. #preschoolart #eyfsideas #littleartists #schoolartideas

@CinemaTweets1 One of my favourite scenes ever!

Witness is a great Harrison Ford film. A crime thriller directed by Peter Weir, this has my guy Ford as a Philly detective assigned to protect an Amish woman (Kelly McGillis) and her young son (Lukas Haas) after they “witness” a murder committed by corrupt cops. It’s fantastic.

Happy St David’s Day! Pontypridd Dragon ~ Watercolour originally painted for my lovely mother in Law ❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 #StDavidsDay #dragons

Today at the beach. ❤️ Dorset #charmouthbeach #artistsofdorset #beachart #nofossilstoday

Last weeks art session at Wimborne St Giles School was on Rhino Day (a brilliant fundraising day organised by one of the pupils).So Ash Class wanted some rhino themed art to do, hence this quick and fun idea. I works with all ages and can be adapted for elephants or dinosaurs!

A portrait of Benny who sadly passed away recently. I delivered this picture today & I’m so glad that they were pleased with it as he was clearly a cherished member of the family. X #dogportraits

If you can take up this opportunity you're in for a real treat!

The Gussage - watercolour

Before Christmas I did another tree mural in the waiting area of the office at WSG First School. Today I went back to add some cherry blossom.

@DarrellWakelam @ArtsConnectWM Tell me about it! 😂 I will keep my eye open for the future. My local first school’s PTA pay for me to run art sessions every week and it’s something they may pay for me to attend. It’s wonderful stuff you do. Thanks.

@hadwidia @ArtsConnectWM Hi Clare, I have done as that's where I'm based but I only really do training stuff through organisations. If ever you try to set something up yourself it's so tricky to get folks to commit and often you end up with a tiny handful of people and out of pocket.

3D ART CPD with Darrell Wakelam Following the success of last year's Arts Connect training workshop I'm back for another. 😮 It's on Fri 27th Feb at Wolverhampton School of Art. Details are here on the link ⬇️ artsconnect.co.uk/art-cpd-school… @ArtsConnectWM

Lovely people, I’m having to ask for your help again and though I know it’s ok to ask for help when you need it, it still leaves me feeling embarrassed and ashamed. Sales are at an all time low and my basic outgoings keep skyrocketing (1/4)

@annahamiltonart I know how you’re feeling, it’s not been a good year. Have you thought of doing workshops or lessons? Beautiful work, I have shared. X

I’m not looking to go viral again - some will know that came with its own stresses 😂 But I’d love to be able to get through the next couple of months. Thank you all so much for the support you’ve always shown me, you’ve no idea how much it means 💛 (4/4)

... So, if you see an artist's work that you like, give them some support. Follow them, 'like' their posts, share their work, communicate with them! Artists love to hear what you think about the work they've created ...
