Great jazz in LS7. This is Denys Baptiste on saxophone, and Jon Scully on trumpet.

Detour on the way home from a recent work trip. This is a great spot…
…and we had an ice cream. Just like the Victorians might’ve done.

The Alhambra Gardens in Roundhay Park, Leeds. I have drawn here a few times over the last few years, this is my first painting. I’m pleased it has been accepted for an upcoming exhibition, celebrating the 150th anniversary of the park, open 16th July – 4th September 2022. More info here.

Had a few days away at Amble, on the North-East coast.
Five minutes walk to the sea – how happy can you be?

In my local park, LS7.

A painting from memory.
Helsby Hill overlooks Frodsham Marshes and the River Mersey. Welsh hills in the distance.

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

Painted yesterday – with brush, and direct from the tube.
