Doorway to the outside where the morning glow greets me and lights up my face.

Simplicity is the key to life .Why overcomplicate it?

I enjoyed drawing this unicorn as it helps me to feel relaxed and it’s fun

Thanks for my bestie who is always there when I need her

Goldfinch photographed at Calke Abbey waiting his turn on the feeders… i give thanks that I am able to sit and watch such beautiful creatures at close quarters

As above gratitude for a smiling face. Retro 1960’s style cut up pop art

I’ve saved this picture as my screen saver and it gives me a warm feeling everytime I see it

So thankful that the rain stopped

I am thankful for all of the small ways we can be mindfulness in our daily lives and how it feels as if you’re drifting away on a sunny day into an ocean of tranquility.

No matter where you are or who you are with, please respect the Code.

I feel so grateful walking near my home on a sunny morning

This hat was an Xmas gift from my wife. The sun was at the perfect height so I thought I’d have a little play to try and capture a good photo

No matter where you are , find your sunshine.

I painted this from memory to illustrate an essence and moment in time. I am thankful that this man, Albert Shave, my Grandad, saw potential in me and taught me the basics of art, story telling, playfulness and how to beam love across a room. He died when I was only 18 but, even as I near 50, is in every brushstroke, every drop of ink and every biro that dances across my pages. The thing I am most thankful for is when I was young and I said, “Oh Grandad, I’ll never be able to draw like you…” He looked me firmly in the eyes, and with the utmost conviction (and a little anger) said, “Don’t EVER say that again. You will draw 100 times better than I ever could – trust me.” – and I did. Thank you Grandad. x

A dress that has taken months to make, carefully handmade, hand crafted and embroider with love. Handed over to the next generation to carefully use and care for. Wear with care and with love for you are the custodian of it.

Early morning, 10K steps before starting work is the best workout for anyone. Feeling light, head ready to face what the presents, calories lost and a positive outlook to the word. Mission accomplished.

It is the most wonderful feeling to feel happy after months of depression, like the clouds moving away from the sun

Industrial North where the landscape shapes its people.
