GCSE results day today. . . We get so obsessed with results in education but sometimes it's worth reiterating that there is more to success than grades on a page. I am sure everyone has reasons to celebrate today. . . Anyway well done to the leaving U5 from work you all seem to have done very well (especially in science/biology). Enjoy the bank holiday and I wish you all the best in the next leg of your journey. . . . #education #teaching #painting #art #serious?

Back in the studio throwing today. I would happily do this everyday. Also, yes I do throw barefoot and without glasses, don't know why but did it once and found I much preferred it. Throwing flower bowls today for Aloes to go in. #barefoot #cantsee #throwing #pottery #ceramics #flowerbowls #plants #aloevera

This has turned into something a bit different. Acrylics on canvas, started off as a few broad pallette knife strokes to use up spare acrylics rather than let them go to waste. Reworked it a few times, think it ties together nicely but is definitely weird, not that there is anything wrong with that. #painting #acrylic #art #abstractart #surrealism

'They wore a silver chain.' Bought some new acrylics today and felt like having a play. This isn't based on anyone but just a bit of fun and practice. I kinda like it but it is a bit too weird even for me I think... Also yes it is meant to be androgynous! #abstractart #acrylic #art #painting #practice

Another piece that is drying. Oil on oak stave. Again might have to wait for it to dry before seeing if I need to touch it up. In an unrelated note I saw Dunkirk last night (amazing film) but I'm sure the two are unconnected. Thanks again to @blackerandoak for the wood. #oilpainting #oak #boats #sea #landscape #artist

I don't paint with acrylics much anymore, nor do I tend to paint figurative pieces. However I love how the sunlight catches the metallics in this one. Still haven't done any fresh painting this holiday though, bad times I know! #painting #acrylic #surrealism #colour #art #artist
