Thank you for dropping by! From July 24th my shop will be closed until November 1st! I will be on sabbatical, writing, creating, praying and resting. You can pre-order my 2026 calendar and book into some workshops too. All other orders will be sent after November 1st when I return from Sabbatical. Thank you for your undertstanding.

Busy bee, drink deeply

I found a bee outside my door of the conference centre. He wasn’t moving much, looked somewhat worn out as he staggered on the carpet by my feet.

I laid my phone by him and he slowly crawled onto the touch screen as if to try and call the emergency services. But he was much more used to nectar than apple and couldn’t activate the numbers.

I showed him to a few people and the lady in reception suggested popping him on a saucer of water and sugar. 

As soon as we placed him on the saucer he drank and drank and drank some more! 

I painted him quickly in one of the training sessions:

I’m thinking of making some simple mounted photo prints of the painting. Let me know if you would like one! 

The cost would be around £10 for a print plus package and postage of £3.
