This afternoon, about 4 o’clock. Walking home, I was hailed and rained on.

Painted yesterday – with brush, and direct from the tube.
Eastertide
Daffodils
Spring is on the way, thankfully, and the daffodils are blooming.
I painted these ones a couple of weeks ago.
The daffodil is the national flower of Wales, and today is Saint David’s Day.
Saint David is the patron saint of Wales.
Shibden Valley, Looking South
The footpath heading south from Corporal Lane, Queensbury, BD13.
Shibden was formerly spelt Schepedene – the sheep vale.
It’s high up and my brother lives nearby. We joke about how it’s always 10° colder there than in Leeds – even though he’s only 20 miles away…

This was last Friday afternoon, in Chapel Allerton Park, LS7.
And it was a beautiful day.
Still Life with Witch Hazel
New paintings for a new year…
Witch hazel is said to have various healing properties – something
we could all do with right now.
After Mystic Nativity
After ‘Mystic Nativity‘, a painting from 1500 by Sandro Botticelli.
The Mystic Nativity is said to depict the end of the world, even though the main theme is one of peace. Happy Christmas, one and all.
Under Lockdown Skies
This second lockdown is hard.
The longest month in history? – and still 12 days to go.
