Based in Northland House near Doune, I will be exhibiting a new collection of paintings inspired by the layers of light and foliage on local woodland walks, and will be running short palette knife demos throughout the weekend. Join us for Long Light, Deep Roots - a free weekend

Fox closed her eyes, felt the cold on her face She smiled at the darkness, lost in winter's brace Solstice had come, the promise of more light Nature's cycle was done by end of this night She wished all souls love with the return of the sun and #SolsticeBlessings for everyone

Tonight, Hare would look up to her #SnowMoon contemplating all the new beginnings that were hers for the taking. By morning, this potential would reveal itself, but for now, there was nothing to do but wait; gaze upon the Moon and wait for the magic to start. #MoonGazingHare

Badger had been optimistic about a new year and all the things he would achieve. January had come and he wasn't feeling at all motivated. He was upset with himself for not being better. Then he remembered he was doing his best. There was no rush. He went for a walk and smiled.

Above the last of the wheat and corn, a full moon proudly shone. Hare was grateful and glad for the season's change, the year she'd had. Her golden fields would be replaced with first frost and winter's reign. But not tonight, just sometime soon. Tonight she had her Harvest Moon.

In crimson, orange and bronze, autumn had arrived. Fox had spent a rather enjoyable morning searching for the perfect collection of leaves. She'd finally found it. With a joyful soul and playful heart, she jumped. In one fine leap, she pounced to catch her shadow.

Before Bear went to sleep he liked to sit in the crisp night air contemplating the stars. What a wonder they are. What a joy to get to know them. How marvellous to reflect on such things. Closing his eyes, he dreamt of the Universe. All its wonder, all its joy and all its marvel.

“Oh dear,” said Donkey’s friend in a panic. “I think I’m a bit behind this morning. What’s the time?” “It’s Now,” said Donkey. “You’re not behind at all, you’re exactly where you are. Perfect timing.”

Fox watched the snowfall, utterly captivated. She could watch forever, her mind drifting along with the snowflakes as they floated and fell with each whisper of wind. Well, maybe not for too long actually. She was getting pretty chilly and quite fancied curling up somewhere warm.

It had been a hard few days and Bear hadn't done half the things he had planned to do. He decide to take a short pause and a deep breath. He realised he had actually done enough, and the short pause turned into a long one. 'It can wait,' he thought.

Hare sat with herself each day before the dew dried, when the sun was still soft and the birds were still singing their first song. She sat in delighted solitude, breathing in the world. It was her time to listen to the whispers in her head and turn them into dreams.

Little life update… In two weeks time I am moving with my partner to the countryside! A little village not too far from Loch Lomond and the landlord is going to let us get a dog. Very excited. That’s a bit of an understatement. 🙌🙌☺️☺️ Yey.
