“Perch”
What a difference a firm line makes. This is a Zebra pen that makes a very fine line on, it seems, almost anything. Thank you, OJHillbilly. © Suzanne Conboy-Hill 2025 Continue reading “Perch”
More on copyright
These videos address content ID with regard to music with a couple of salutary lessons. The first shows how an AI version of the artist would be able to claim copyright of a piece of work and then, theoretically, prevent … Continue reading More on copyright
Autumn Clouds
This is dated around October 27th, according to the photo upload date.There are no earlier versions of this because I went straight in and covered the canvas using a photo I’d taken a few years ago of a sky that … Continue reading Autumn Clouds
“Build it and they will come”
6th November, 2025. A lucky misquote of the original, which suggested that building it would attract unspecified kinds of ‘he’, and that isn’t what you want in a back garden. This building involves ponds, which I put in not long … Continue reading “Build it and they will come”

The bend in the river
Like the previous small paintings, this happened so fast there was no natural space for photo stages and my initial pencil drawings (from the photographs) were too light to see. So this is somewhere in the late middle of the … Continue reading The bend in the river
Adur river bank – view across the fields
I’m not sure why I couldn’t find the early-stage iterations yesterday, but here is one of them. It may be another example of my tendency to skip over the more painterly stages and go straight on to the dramatic. That … Continue reading Adur river bank – view across the fields
