making paintings for flies


The fluorescent paint brings all the flies to my yard. Wish I knew if they were like, it's better than yours.

Loving the lichens

I'm putting on some great workshops with my lichenologist friends Kristine Bogomazova and Frances Stoakley.  We're sharing our favourite ways of getting to know these magnificent tiny crusty symbiotic life forms - a little learning, a lot of looking, some fun with watercolour paint and oil pastels.

If anyone is in Edinburgh this Sunday 3rd April we still have a few places available! We will be in the Patrick Geddes Room at the John Hope Gateway at the Royal Botanic Garden, from 2.00 -3.30pm.. It's suitable for total beginners, artists, scientists - any curious persons and older children.  The workshop is free but please send me a message to book a place if you want to come.
