Over the past few weeks, I have had a few calls (and another set up for tomorrow) with a variety of people, in order to try and get the Rewilding project moving properly. Although they didn’t all take quite the […]
Last month, I asked Frances Fox, founder of Climate Live (CL), for advice on starting my project, and a few weeks ago, she answered my questions. The image below shows the notes that I made from her advice: Her answers were […]
I suddenly decided to try oil paint again after many years of enjoying Acrylics. Not sure what prompted this but am already so glad I did. The buttery texture of the oily colours is great. Here’s my first experiment. Reworking […]
