Even a quick sketch can be pleasing


 I came across some old pastel pads recently and took some photos of my drawings. Thry must be 15 years old I think, still there is something pleasing in this quickly sketched tulip picture. I like is looseness and the fact I have not tried to make it more perfect, simply an impression, quite loose. As I have got older and even more limited, I feel the need to control and perfect more.

NEW VIDEO: SHE FLEW

  SHE FLEW This is Greg’s new song. It’s inspired by a poem I wrote about coming through a recent operation , which we were not sure of the impact or if I would survive it. It’s a song about finding hope and transformation in a new space. We hope it uplifts and brings strength and comfort. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8HKAeqGDZg0

How wonderful that Pups and Paws CIC has raised money to donate to wards transport costs to help two dogs in Romania potentially travel to the UK. It was a joy to draw these images to help support the imitative. https://pennypawsrescue.org.uk/woody-available-for-adoption/ Ginger is one of the Spice pups. https://pennypawsrescue.org.uk/2024/11/28/the-spice-pups/ We are really hoping both dogs will find a foster or adoption home soon so that they can come to the UK to escape the bitter Romanian winter.

This beautiful dog was saved from immanent death in a kill shelter. She had no name. PennyPaws rescue asked for donations to help her and name her. We named her Mollie. What a wonderful privilege to name such a special dog. https://pennypawsrescue.org.uk/2025/05/27/sponsor-a-pennypaws-dog-dog-of-the-day/
