Still working through ideas with these and enjoying the process but time for some critical evaluation tomorrow I think, so I can start building on the things that are working and reduce the things that are not... also I need more birds to play with... but that's ok because as you might have noticed I quite like drawing birds 😂😍🤣

A little trip to @nttrelissick gardens to drop some new work off at the gallery for the summer show... I can't wait to see it all transformed, it is always a great exhibition in a gorgeous location!

Beautiful starlings always lift my spirits... I have stood beneath more than 200000 passing over on their way to roost at the @rspb_love_nature nature reserve at Marazion and felt like I was physically levitating in their wake ...

More collaging with some abstract painted backgrounds and printmaking, enjoying the process of descovery...moving the birds around to create stronger compostions which articulate my ideas of wildlife navigating our 21st century world and the wonder they inspire in me.... does it do what I want it to?

A bit of fun with printing pattern over some less than perfect linocut in the studio this afternoon ...

Purely printmaking for this one as a completely handcrafted contrast to my digitally created collage yesterday....linocut with monoprint of lovely lapwings always a joy to watch, I see them mostly around the Hayle estuary in cornwall .

via Instagram http://bit.ly/2GMRjpo

So much fun to be had with a computer and a few images... this is a digital collage created from a few monoprinted bird images and an ambstract landscape painting, it really helps me to think about compositions... love it

Collaging,,print making and abstracted landscape painting with a lapwing... thoroughly enjoying this process at the moment.

More collage play... all a bit too busy but that us the fun of this process I can try it out before I fully commit to it 😊

One of my little lambs was a little unwell last night, he had abit of stomach ache bless him...so I was up checking on him at 2.30 am but he seems ok again this morning ... another little ink sketch of him... ❤

I wasn't really achieving what I wanted to yesterday with my drawings but i am trying to suspend judgement and enjoy pushing some ink around. This my 'Strong' project @elliegregor with a dumbbell

Back to print making last day @tremenheeresculpturegardens for the @nsanewlyn ExLibris exhibition tomorrow for this linocut with monoprint Responding in part to ... The Risen He stands, filling the doorway In the shell of earth. He lifts wings, he leaves the remains of something, A mess of offal, muddled as an afterbirth. His each wingbeat – a convicts release, What carries will be plenty. He slips behind the world’s brow As music escapes its skull, its clock and its skyline. Under his sudden shadow, flames cry out among thickets When he soars, his shape Is cross, eaten by light, On the Creator’s face He shifts world weirdly as sunspots Emerge as earthquakes. A burning unconsumed, A whirling tree – Where he alights A skin sloughs from a leafless apocalypse. On his lens Each atom engraves with a diamond In the wind–fondled crucible of his splendour The dirt becomes God. But when will he land On a man’s wrist. Ted Hughes

As I sit invigilating for the @nsanewlyn ExLibris show @tremenheeresculpturegardens I feel very humbled and grateful for the time people spend looking at my work ...(and the work of other artists in the show) the visitors don't know if I am one of the artists or a gallery assistant and I am only able to see the engagement with my particular pieces on a cctv screen so their time spent is purely about the viewers interest in the work ❤ it is really hard I find to get genuine feedback about your artwork so this is a valuable experience.

Not a lot of chance of making a drawing today with hungry lambs eating my paper but we tried... 😂🤩❤

Just in case you missed it in my stories this is the flock the lambs will join...

Before I move on from my sheep this is lovely Kevin now longer with us but always fondly remembered... he was our super tame sheep and encouraged the same in the others...

Last few days of the @nsanewlyn show @tremenheeresculpturegardens I am looking forward to invigilating on Saturday so I can spend some quality time with the work and the texts

A painting in ink and acrylic wash of our lovely George another of our flock, he is 10 years old and a French ouessant rare breed primitive sheep, he is definitely not the boss in the flock but he is always happy to see us and gets to us first at feed time.usually gets pushed out of the way by the girls but he doesn't seem to mind too much.

Great evening @rogue_theatre

A well spent hour which passed in a flash drawing lambs with ink and a feather, almost impossible to get wrapped up in detail ... and I took a mindful approach so as to suspend judgement of my outcomes as that just gets right in the way!!!

Another of my little flock, this is Olga, she is a Manx Loaghtan Ewe and she is 10 years old she has been with me for 9 of those years, being a primitive breed she tends to be a bit flighty and weary even if me, she has had one lamb Luna born at the time of a supermoon. When I paint animals and birds I am trying to represent a unique individual, a character with thoughts and a personality, as Thomas Berry said 'subjects to commune with'... Painted a few years ago in ink and acrylic wash on canvas,, she became one of my most popular images and has been made into a card and print .

This is lovely Spoonie in the wind today...she is the most tame of the rest of the flock, very talkative and enjoys her routine, she comes to find us if we haven't fed her and stands at the gate calling... ♥️. . . . . #countryside #countrylife #farmlife #countryliving #animalinterations #animalassistedinterventions #mindfulness #natureassistedinterventions #sheep #lambs #animalassistedtherapy #sheepofinstagram #loveofsheep #naturetherapy #mentalhealth #wellbeing

Another sheep from my little flock, she is 10 years old, a Leicester longwool her name is Spoon! 😊

Whilst I am not completely vegetarian... the new lambs will stay into their old age... they have more important work to do! I have kept sheep for meat in the past but this time i made a decision before I chose to have them, so that I can encourage their tameness and become freely attached to them ♥️

And this is lovely Desmond... already shortened to Dezzie. He is the chilled one of the two, super laid back and not so hungry, happy to be stoked and scratched... ♥️🤩♥️

So... names this is little Walter .. he is quite bold when he wants good first up first to finish his bottle and then not interested in us much...so much personality already 😂❤🤩

I think this is my favourite drawing so far from today, I love the shapes the girls make with their bodies to assist them in lifting heavy weights repeatedly, this is @elliegregor throwing a 30kg d-ball over her shoulder again and again and again. I see this determination taken into all aspects of their lives ... crossfit, weightlifting and sport generally all good, many positives.... . —⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ #exceedyourself #crossfit #crossfituk #sports #gymnastics #athlete #weightlifting #girlswholift #fitnessgirls #instadaily #cornwall #bootygains #thickthighs #influencer #ad #collaborate #health #mentalhealth #fitness #olympicweightlifting #girlgains #womenthatliftt #elliegregor #drawingsofstronggirls #drawingstrength
