Frames/Display 17.5.12
New Frames and Window Mounted Prints. Dulwich Festival Artists’ Open House.
We’re open again this coming weekend (19th & 20th May) for the Dulwich Festival Artists’ Open House. Here are a couple of snaps showing the new frames for the large 20″ x 24″ prints and a display of 10″ x 8″ prints in 12″ x 12″ window mounts.
Lichen.5.12
Lichen. Near Corfe, Dorset.
Following yet more torrential rain, we embarked on the muddiest of walks from Corfe. This lichen, Evernia Prunastri (or Oakmoss) I think, enshrouded the trees as we crossed over a small river.
Invitation 4.12
Exhibition Invitation for Dulwich Festival Artists’ Open House.
Here’s the invitation I’ll be sending out for the upcoming show in May. All welcome.
Flowers, Swaffham. 4.12.
Artificial Flower Market Stall. Swaffham, Norfolk.
Wandering around the market in Swaffham, Norfolk, my eye was caught by this seriously colourful floral display.
Wild Garlic
Allium ursinum (ramsons, wild garlic) at Ilam, Peak District.
Seas of wild garlic just beginning to come into flower at Easter. I snapped these during a walk in the Peak District at Ilam, Derbyshire. Wild garlic has plenty of common names: Ramsons, buckrams, wild garlic, broad-leaved garlic, wood garlic, bear leek, and bear’s garlic.
Blossom 3.12
Blossom. Local trees.
Dozens of the ornamental cherry (Prunus) trees near my home are currently festooned with blossom.
Primula 26.3.12
Primula Vulgaris. Knight’s Hill Allotments.
Primulas seem to be everywhere right now. Resisted strong urge to dig these ones up & rush them to the studio.
23.03.12 – Blue Shed
Allotment Shed. Knight’s Hill Allotments.
Went to collect scaffolding planks which were delivered to the allotments yesterday, but sadly all had been snaffled. This peeling shed caught my eye on the way back. Knight’s Hill has an extraordinary mixture of natural and artificial colour.
12.3.12 – Frogs
Frogwatch. Knight’s Hill.
Lots of frog activity in a neighbour’s pond this weekend.
9.3.12 Arum leaves
Garden. Arum leaves.
Arum italicum ‘Marmoratum’ (Lords and ladies). This provides lots of engaging leaf colour which is much needed at this early part of spring.
9.3.12 Daffodils
Daffodils. Peckham.
On my way to the studio, cycling through Peckham, I noticed the first daffodils… Pedants: note my bike in background is precisely this colour of yellow.
9.3.12 – Viburnum
Garden. Viburnum bodnantense ‘Dawn’.
Despite being rather roughly transplanted from front to back garden, this Viburnum has provided flowers throughout winter with sweet honeyed scent. Just starting to fade now.
9.3.12 – KH Shed
Knight’s Hill allotments.
Rather surreal-looking new shed with Canary Wharf visible in the background.
9.3.12 RHS courses
RHS Courses guide.
They’ve used my image of an Echinops bannaticus (globe thistle) for this new booklet.
9.3.12 – Garden Griseum
Garden. Acer griseum.
Paper-bark maple.
9.3.12 – KH Metal frames

One of our neighbours metal framework.
