Progress so far...
I am sorry I can’t meet with you again this evening due to working til 7pm…it’s a nuisance but I’ll be back to my normal shifts after xmas. I have been taking things steady and fitting in researching / writing / painting when I have pockets of time. It’s felt really good to have this creative project to escape to. Here’s my work so far this month - some haiku and some small paintings (below). They are (sort of) winter landscapes. Any feedback is welcome. I quite like the first three paintings...4th seems a bit contrived and no idea what I was think of the disasterous 5th one (😂) but thought I'd post all 5 as I worked on them in series. They are small approx 10cm x 10cm acrylic on card
Cold grey clouds dragging
past pale pink winter sunshine
gentle hope returns.
Early morning swim
just what the doctor ordered
as winter takes hold.
Dawn light through bare trees
rain beats down relentlessly
the storm will soon pass.
Sweet smell of vin chaud
Christmas market lights twinkling
bringing joy and hope.







Such bold pictures and sensitive haikus
