Louis of Loch Arkaig

02/05/202107/05/2021 Suzanne Conboy-Hill

Yesterday we heard about the premeditated destruction of a nest elsewhere in the UK, and this, along with the empty nest at Loch Arkaig as Aila fails to reappear and Louis sets up home nearby, has left the Woodland Trust … Continue reading Louis of Loch Arkaig

Nest

22/04/202127/04/2021 Suzanne Conboy-Hill

Last year, along with thousands of locked down webcam surfers, I came upon the Loch Arkaig Osprey nest camera and subsequently watched as eggs appeared, chicks hatched, and fledglings eventually left around the same time as their parents. The camera … Continue reading Nest

Roots

19/04/2021 Suzanne Conboy-Hill

Still technically on hiatus but distracted by an over-stuffed SSD which means finding a new computer with a larger one. Much hunting and talk of terabytes as the current puny one sits there bright red with excess content. So back … Continue reading Roots

Short hiatus

16/04/2021 Suzanne Conboy-Hill

When you’re doing a course, every so often there’s the inconvenience of preparing an assessment portfolio. These days, it’s digital so there’s no more wrestling of large pieces into massive cases for posting. Or, increasingly because now there’s something a … Continue reading Short hiatus

Totally Fungible #6 – baskets

15/04/202119/04/2021 Suzanne Conboy-Hill

By now we’ve all forgotten what the fungible thing is about, right? Well, to recap it’s the opposite of non fungible which has suddenly hit the headlines as NFTs or Non Fungible Tokens – ways of proving that you’ve bought … Continue reading Totally Fungible #6 – baskets

Totally Fungible #5 – hippeastrum to you …

15/04/2021 Suzanne Conboy-Hill

I was well into this before I remembered to take a snap. My Amaryllis is about to burst forth so I looked back through my photos for one in full flower to complete this set, the last of the tiny … Continue reading Totally Fungible #5 – hippeastrum to you …

Totally Fungible #4 – Pink flower

14/04/2021 Suzanne Conboy-Hill

I’ve had to trawl my past photos for suitable subjects by which to despatch the final two eye-squinting, take-aim-from-a-yard-away, 8″ x 10″ canvas boards so I can’t name the pretty thing I’ve chosen this time. It required a vibrant pink … Continue reading Totally Fungible #4 – Pink flower

Totally Fungible #3 -Dandelion

14/04/2021 Suzanne Conboy-Hill

This time I’ve remembered to take an initial photo. Dilute green wash on gloss. I’m going to let that dry then add a thicker layer of bright green so I can scratch through it later. Or just give it the … Continue reading Totally Fungible #3 -Dandelion

Totally Fungible #2

13/04/2021 Suzanne Conboy-Hill

But I’m calling this Spring. It’s from a photo of my white camellia that turns brown at the first hint of rain. Again on 8″ x 10″ canvas board with a gloss priming layer, a wash of bright green with … Continue reading Totally Fungible #2

Totally Fungible

12/04/202113/04/2021 Suzanne Conboy-Hill

If you’ve taken a glance at the sudden enthusiastic endorsement of NFTs (non fungible tokens) among some artists and found it hurt your brain, you’re not alone. David Hockney, that long standing early adopter of new tech, said of it, … Continue reading Totally Fungible
