A little series of hares. Often seen in the field and at the forest edge, difficult to get a good photo though. Source pics for these pastel paintings with kind permission of @francescrickmorephotos

I smudged in a hare on a small off cut of paper last night and finished it tonight. It measures 19x13cm and is shown framed in a 30x24cm frame. Photo credit to @francescrickmorephotos with thanks.

Tomorrow's Libération

Scathing editorial ...
'a symbol of moral bankruptcy'
'unreal, absurd and unworthy'
'the abyss from which the Tories lie to the British'
'The saddest thing is Britons don't massively take to the streets to say how awful this law is'

The bikeshed wisteria pastel is finished, maybe time to do another one now the leaves are out.

Bikeshed wisteria will await finishing for a week or so. Off to Limoges to collect the first visitors of the year.

One of these vehicles is seen as a symbol of an elitist lifestyle that imposes itself on society and takes away the freedom of others.

The other is a car.

Ride, sketch, ride. Watercolours win for compact, lightweight sketch kit. Limited palette obviously.

That sky! The print quality is outstanding. artfromthebikeshed.etsy.com/listing/132605…

Receiving a 5 star review is always a huge lift, getting one after things have gone wrong is both a relief and extra welcome. Customer care is everything. #supportsmallbusiness

It’s Basil propagation time. Supermarket basil plants will make loads of new plants from cuttings and you’ve still got the original.

It’s #ParisRoubaix weekend. It inspires rides and art. The linocuts are virtually all gone, the beautiful print of the pastel painting is fairly new, and is stunning if I do say so myself.

Hares. I’ve created this image from a number of source photos taken by @francescrickmorephoto with her permission. It’s 60x40cm. March was a particularly good month for our hares, but my photography was lacking. (Click on pic for full image)

Not quite an Easter bunny but some hares sketched in for the next non cycling painting. Apparently the collective noun for a group of hares is a ‘drove’ or a ‘husk’.
