15th February 2026. Water soluble oils on 40x30cm canvas. There’s some extemporising on the reference photo. For instance, close up, the midline of green, which is swept to the left like a speeding car caught on camera, has the horizon … Continue reading Wetlands
March 16th, 2026 Warflowers 2026. Water-soluble oils on 76x101cm canvas. This is a re-used canvas, the dark green landscape area at the bottom being part of the original, which was probably in acrylics. Context. There is conflagration in the Middle East, Israel having bombed Iran*, reportedly at the behest – or at least with the permission of – the White House, and Iran having retaliated. Both seem now to have involved other countries in the area. I have no words for it at the moment, but I expect they will come. *Specifically a girls’ school, killing 65 children. © Suzanne … Continue reading Warflowers

I’m currently on a kind of sabbatical, officially a deferment, but the word brings me out in a rash of Gilbert and Sullivan for some reason, so I steer round it. This runs from January 1st to March 31st,* and none of the work I do in this period can be submitted for assessment because, having argued for a break, it would be unfair to allow me to use anything I produce in this time as coursework since no one else is getting those extra three months. This doesn’t mean stopping, though, and how easy would that be in any … Continue reading Collecting a Collection #1
Water soluble oils on 40x30cm canvas. This started life as a relatively tame field scene; then along came the sky, the sea, and the large object in the sky. The camera picks it out, the eye doesn’t – not at … Continue reading “Moonrise”
While the actual book, Frog Fall, makes its way through the publication system, here’s Punk Fall featuring a drenched version of the original. Materials? One proof copy, a bucket of water, and a raid on PowerDirector’s effects cupboard. Audio is … Continue reading Punk Fall
