It's been a wild, wet and windy night here. Quite appropriate that this painting is now packed and ready to ship to its new home. 'Rainy Night' (sold). I'm sketching. Radiohead on.

Sketching suspended. I'm watching about 20 sparrows splashing around in the birdbath. Proper little characters. Sparrows are ace.

Mixed up within the devastation and trauma of losing a partner is a dawning realisation that you are now alone. It was these feelings that led me to paint this piece. If this is you please believe that, given time, things will improve. Stubbsy x 'And Now He Rides Alone' (sold).

From a few years back. Difficult subject matter. The best decision I made on this piece was to leave the dog out. It gave my man all the reason he needed to turn around and go back home. Dogs are ace. Available paintings at wormwoodstubbs.com 'Close to the Edge' (sold).

If I was one for blowing my own trumpet I'd use this appraisal to describe my work. But I'm not. So I won't. Great description though 🎺

One of you was in my dream last night. Don't know how. Never met you. Very strange. In other news, I trod in cat poo whilst retrieving a bird that had been killed by someone's cat this morning. I've had better starts to a day. 'Just So I May Dream Of You' (sold).

'I love you from the bottom of my pencil mug...' I'm painting. The Beautiful South on.

My painting 'The Box' has been used for the cover of a new book by author James Roderick Burns. Obviously it will now sell a million copies. The original painting is available from Brian Sinfield Gallery. briansinfield.com/artist/wormwoo…

Not a good morning. Can't paint. Got to venture out into the big, wide world for an hour-or-so. Horrible.

And breathe. I'm painting. The Lovely Eggs on.

Lying here upon my bed, But I’m still painting in my head. A poem. By me.

Tweet of the day. I'm painting. The Kinks on.
