Crab Nebulae , from The Cloudy and Hot Atmosphere of a Quiet Sun. Acrylic on paper.
Derelict Fulham Town Hall to be given new lease of life starting with major Post-Lockdown art celebration.
Walking between viewing points.
Sneaking under surfaces.
Pausing where paths cross.
When I have activities growing in parallel, it is at their intersections that the most interesting shifts occur. This blog is an opportunity to consider the interplay between projects.

Find swathes of bright and beautiful plumage tumbling out of my windows, like children spilling into a school playground. This carefully coiffed street is debating how to respond to all this unruly ruffling, but decides it’ll reserve judgement for a […]
Blushing blooms abound as the sunshine coaxes even the most bashful to show their faces. No shyness now as each each petal extends for that warm touch. Blushing Blooms (mixed media on canvas, 50x50cm/19.5″x19.5″) Shop: Lynne Forrester, Artist: Blushing Blooms […]
I can feel my stone roots sinking as I’m slowly enveloped in the growth of all this beauty as the seasons progress. Some plants rise and uplift their buds whereas others stretch languidly across my canopy. The true spirit of […]
Welcome to my pavilion of blooms! Wander around the sumptuously tempting heads, encased in their lusciously unfurled leaves and find a nook to rest here. Tea and biscuits will appear as if by magic in a flurry of sparkles, to […]
Postcard auction in aid of Hepatitis C Trust 25 February – 11 March 2021
Art is better now than it’s ever been. It’s better than the greats. It has impact and wow, and visual and political punch. It’s tenacious and wild, confrontational, angry and eloquent. Simultaneously it’s valueless and short-lived. A deluge of painstaking, […]
Open my door and you’ll be greeted with thousands of upturned, bright and smiling faces, beaming their hellos. Coupled with their earthy, just-trimmed stems scent, how can you resist? Beaming Hellos (mixed media painting on canvas) Shop: Lynne Forrester, Artist: […]
It always astounds me how plants appear to have a head for heights. Plants don’t feel wobbly (or they disguise it well if they do!) or fall off ladders unless someone wobbles them. Is this a tip for life? Stand […]
I attended a Living Art online life session today and was delighted to have the chance to draw body artist and contortionist Francoise. Working in my favourite charcoal this time, sometimes it’s lovely to create in a familiar medium for a change. […]
Showing my love for all blooms and heartfelt passions today. What’s your truest desire? Can you move past yourself to find sincere love for your soul flame? What’s Your Passion? (mixed media painting on canvas, 50x50cm/19.5″x19.5″) Shop: Lynne Forrester, Artist: […]
Step through my hazy lilac veil and tiptoe between the blooms. You’ll see blousy purple presents to treat yourself with in every corner – what’ll you choose? Lilac Veil (mixed media painting on box canvas, 60x60cm/23.5″x23.5″) Shop: Lynne Forrester, Artist: […]
Some save their brightest beings for the odd day here and there. For me, there’s a carnival spirit in my heart every day. Carnival Heart (mixed media painting on box canvas, 20x50cm/8″x19.75″) Shop: Lynne Forrester, Artist: Carnival Heart
A gentle spring breeze weaves it’s way down the street. The tendrils from my window boxes lift and sway as luscious petals float across my window like delicate confetti landing on wedding passers-by. Delicate Confetti (mixed media painting on box […]
Low bright sunshine is warming the bricks and enticing the leaves on my plants to reach for those last gleaming rays. The courtyard outside looks clear now and I’m looking forward to raising a glass to the end of another […]
That’s me in the corner, all cosied up in my petal slippers. Slippers that seem to grow of their own accord, providing both warmth and protection as they colourfully wend their way wherever the mood takes them. Petal Slippers (mixed […]
Feeling a bit old today, but these bright blooms bring cheer to my heart, lifting those too-twitchy eyebrows from their furrowed state. Twitchy Eyebrows (mixed media painting on canvas board, 20x20cm/8″x8″) Shop: Lynne Forrester, Artist: Twitchy Eyebrows
