Mental health problems affect one in four of us, yet too many people are made to feel isolated, ashamed and worthless because of this.

Well episode 5 SAS who dares wins tonight... will @elliegregor get caught in the escape and evade phase... as a child off on an adventure over the fields or in the tree house or shed, she (and @sportybethcf ) were always very good at this when I was looking for them 😍

Today marks Imbolc and St Brides Day ... Imbolc lies half way between the Winter Solstice and the Spring Equinox. It is traditionally a festival honouring Brigid, she became woven into the Christian church as St Bridget. She is a Goddess of healing, poetry and smithcraft, Goddess of Fire, of the Sun and of the Hearth, she brings fertility to the land and its people and is closely connected to midwives and new-born babies. So why Oystercatchers... To the Gaels this bird is an emblem of St. Bride, who carried one in each hand. Legend has her arriving on the shores of South Uist with an oystercatcher on each wrist. When she was becalmed at sea, oystercatchers flew to her boat and by the beating of their wings, filled the sails of the boat so that she could sail safely to land. In Gaelic, the Oystercacher is called the Guide of St Bride, as she was supposed to send the birds to guide sailors to safety. It bears the form of a cross on its plumage as it once covered Christ with sea-weed when his enemies pursued him. . . . #imbolc #stbridget #oystercatchers #stbride #anthrozoology #celticmythology #irishfolklore #paganfestival #pagangodessoffire #pagangoddessbrigid #linocut #printmaking #monotype #reliefprinting #inthestudio #lino #contemporaryart #art #illustration #contemporaryprintmaking #humananimalrelationship #get_imprinted #ukprintmakers #narrative

Not so pleased with this one it still needs work, but I am getting somewhere...Chaffinch and Camilias 🌿 @nttrelissick when I sat in the cafe I was surrounded by lovely chaffinches, Robin's, dunnocks, bluetits, a wag tail and a couple of crows 😍 I love to be surrounded by birds!

I have always been attracted to the details of the landscape the objects that often become landmarks....Stiles, gates, standing stones, derelict shed, doorways and windows ... this is from about 25 years ago .... wow where did that time go!

It feels great to have a little light left when I get home spring is on it's way ☀️😍🌿

A little more of trelissick house and garden, drawn with my precious oak ink which doesn't go very far at all 😬... just love the colour of it though... this is just a preliminary sketch, I may work back into it... it is not about accuracy at the moment, more about memory and the feel of the place...

A Birdscape sketch, this is a rock nesting site for cormorants and shags, off a part of the cornish coast owned by the @nationaltrust it's difficult to put into a nutshell all that they do...and the ways in which I personally benefit.

I am working on a project to celebrate 125 years of the @nationaltrust at the moment... so I will be looking back at so landscape works to get myself into it... I am thinking of a series of works to explore the variety of property the protect from coast and countryside, houses and gardens, industrial heritage and farms... and within that the wild flora and fauna. Not much to think about 😂😂😂

I thought some may resonate with this post ... growing up my girls never really had time for make up...😊 #Repost @elliegregor • • • • • • I have had a lot of messages from women/girls asking how I coped with not being able to wear makeup, wash my hair or do my nails. I have never been concerned about my appearance, I’m probably the worst girl, I spend all of 5 minutes getting ready in the morning and I rarely do my makeup, hair, nails etc. I’d rather spend my time doing other things. I’m definitely even more comfortable after taking part in SAS WDW. Yes I may have blonde eyelashes, eyebrows and un-tamed hair but I’m ok with that! It’s actually liberating being in an environment where no one cares what they look like. In the first picture I’m rocking the n dubz/ bank robber hat along with @sportybethcf @christopherbarker_pt & @jay__morton and I think we look great 😂🤣🖤💪🏽. #saswhodareswins #sas #recruit #channel4 #mindovermatter #breakpoint #strongwomen #strongmind #strength #adventuregirl #positivemind #positivesoul #nomakeup #bareface #sas #beyourself

If it was a shock to see this weeks @sas_whodareswins and @sportybethcf leaving you can check out her page to get more insights if you like. However she had an amazing time on the course and I know for certain she would do it again any time! So I only have @elliegregor to be watch doing things that really worry me now! 😬💪🏋️‍♀️💪🙈😬How far will she go? #saswhodareswins

I have not painted many Ravens, leaning towards print making for some reason. However this one was painted in June as part of a 30 day challenge I did...in mixed media on paper... https://ift.tt/2rM5c2i where you can also subscribe to get the new Bird of the Month Ebook focusing on Ravens.
