Space artist here 👋🏻 This is a digital artwork from my Circles Portfolio. Created using Adobe Fresco. I’m always amazed to see an astronaut floating above Earth - it’s amazing because it takes a huge co-operative of humans to get that astronaut into space. We can all work together when we want.

Oh, look…a squishy delivery has arrived. There are several projects in this pile of loveliness: socks with yellow ducks on a blue background; a neck warmer; and a waistcoat. Can’t wait to get started! #knitting

I was running late with watering my garden pots last night, it was the back end of dusk, and as I stepped through my back door into the garden a bat flew across my face. Didn’t touch me, but I felt the slight draft and saw the briefest outline of a wing. How cool is that?

Thought I’d show you the artwork that I use as my iPad screen saver. I created it some years ago, acrylic on stretched canvas. I hope the owners still enjoy it because I still love it

My town is getting an upgrade on the underground pipeline of the gas system and there’s a car lay-by opposite my home that’s being used to store the dug up soil as the pipework is swapped out. State of the art soil transporters are being used and…1/2 🧵

‘Dead Rock, Living Light’. Acrylic on stretched canvas, from my vintage portfolio. One of my personal favourites, I was a little sad to see it go off to its forever home. #space #Art

Astronauts will often say how they feel connected to humanity whenever they gaze down towards the Earth. This is my digital artwork celebrating that intense feeling of connection. Created using Adobe Fresco. #space #Astronaut #Digital #Art

June is Pride Month. I am an Ally. {{{Hugs}}} and waves to everyone who celebrates. Artwork is my own from my digital portfolio. #Pride

I’m listening to Nil Frahm’s album, Spaces, and whilst ‘Says’ is standout favourite, ‘For-Peter-Toilet Brushes-More’ comes in at a very close second. #Music

This is an unpaid opportunity. Really sad that NASA is going down this route. Using your own personal funding to cover the cost of the materials/software/equipment/training used means you’ll be subsidising NASA. Just proposing this is disrespectful to all creatives. www.nasa.gov/news-release...

*Sigh* English weather! We wanted sun but then we get the boiling pits of hell.

@martiandiaries.bsky.social This is a good book to start with.

Today’s dinner had quite a few ‘welcome back’ items on my plate: Jersey Royal Potatoes, coleslaw, freshly cooked and sliced beetroot, baby tomatoes. Oh, & sausages - but they don’t count as I have those fairly regularly. I love eating seasonally. Sorry, no dinner plate tax as I couldn’t wait to eat.

35 years ago Helen Sharman became the 1st British woman in space, 1st British Cosmonaut, & 1st woman on the Russian MIR space station. I was delighted to meet & chat with her at the Royal Society’s 2023 Summer Exhibition in London. She’s an awesome science communicator. www.bbc.co.uk/culture/arti...

'Astronaut wanted. No experience necessary' - the surprising story behind the first British person in spaceIt's 35 years since Helen Sharman boarded a space capsule heading into orbit, all thanks to a job ad that she had stumbled upon.www.bbc.co.uk

Today is Towel Day for you Nubes out there.

‘Poppy’ Watercolour on 300gsm paper. Well, I thoroughly enjoyed creating that 😊 #wayercolour #watercolor #Art

Oh, my…just look at the way the Permanent Alizarin Crimson is drying. This isn’t me being arty-farty, it’s the evaporation and the pigment that’s doing the heavy lifting. Daniel Smith watercolour. #watercolour #watercolor #Art

Another watercolour sketch completed. I have a ¼ pan of a David Smith white/stone colour which actually dried out as a very pale pink, bit of a surprise that one, but it did work out well on the flowers.

Still playing with my watercolours. Using a combination of Windsor & Newton, Daniel Smith, and indie hand made pans on 300gsm paper. #watercolour #watercolor #Art
