A palette before I leave.
Off to see my beautiful granddaughter for the second time in 6 months.
Can’t wait ❤️

Enough
The protective mums of Portland tear-gassed and shot at by unmarked agents of the state.
Enough. Enough.
a goddess for our times
Athena, the Greek Goddess, was the patron and protectress of cities across ancient Greece, particularly Athens, from which she received her name. No wonder this heroic young woman who stood defiantly in front of those cowardly unmarked troops in Portland three days ago has been named the Portland Athena. She is a Goddess for our times and a true inspiration
The Last 100 Days
Our world has changed so much over the past three months. This mini retrospective of some of my drawings and paintings, attempting to reflect the tumultuous times we have been living through, show moments of gratitude, heroism, loss, remembrance, inspiration, and protest. Let us hope that at the end of the next 100 days we can all be looking forward to the change that is so desperately needed, as we remember John Lewis and Rev. CT Vivian, two icons of the Civil Rights movement who died on 17th July.Five years ago today I posted a similar retrospective of the then previous 100 days in the studio. My paintings reflected a very different world for me as you will see if you visit Studio 365: Day 200

Doodling in the studio today with a happy conclusion.
salute to a hero
“It’s been an absolutely magnificent day for me,” said Capt Sir Tom Moore after being knighted by the Queen at Windsor Castle today. I think it was a magnificent day for everyone Sir Tom. Congratulations on an honour so richly deserved.
here comes the sun
Today’s painting was inspired by seeing those close up images of the sun released today by NASA captured by the agency’s Solar Orbiter.

lavandes de provence
Our Lavendes de Provence for Le Quatorze Juillet, and an opportunity to repost the Lavender Story from 3 years ago when our lavender was just as beautiful as it is today.
From Yardwork to Artwork: the Lavender Story – 17th July 2017
Our Lavender Provencal is spectacular this year.
This bouquet picked today is filling the house with its wonderful aroma…
…but as you can see I couldn’t resist a stopover in the studio on the way.
New York frame of mind
After yesterday’s post, in a New York frame of mind today, and a look back to 2015:
Studio 365: Day 266 – September 23, 2015
City of the Imagination I – VIII 23.9.15
City of the Imagination began on Day 261 in response to this week’s Photo Challenge: Grid. Variations VII and VIII were posted yesterday for Day 265, so today I thought I would put all eight together as a final City of the Imagination grid. Look for more to come in the next day or two that will definitely now be off the grid.
