Good Morning :- ) Sadly and bizarrely between ~ 4pm and 5pm yesterday on a busy afternoon in the park the goslings were reduced from 4 to 3. Weird.

Just practicing my 'en pointe'. Pleased to see there are still 4 goslings in our park today. #rspb #wildlife #surrey #lightwater

I've been starting a new body of work over the last few weeks. Some contrasty everyday architecture. Amazing what you can see by looking around on sunny days. simonkiddart.co.uk

A bit of light reading for the weekend. Bill Brandt - widely considered to be one of the most important British photographers of the 20th century.

I'm pleased that after a week checking test prints, my Sketchy London pictures are now available as high quality prints on fine art paper via the Saatchi online gallery. This is what 9 look like in a grid: Have a great weekend. saatchiart.com/simonkiddart #london #art #simonkiddart

Dartford Warbler. After looking out of the window at the drizzle this morning, I was going to give the 'dawn patrol' a miss. So glad I didn't. Another first, Ive not seen one of these before. On the Amber conservation list apparently. #surreylife #lightwater #surrey

Whitethroat. Another first this morning. Whilst I'm not very good at identifying my birdsong, I knew this one was different. It's a migratory bird that visits April-October. A bit of a stretch to photo this one. #nature #wildbirds #surrey #lightwater

A lovely surprise to see a Deer in our local country park this morning. #deer #lightwater #surrey #nature #surreylife

Test prints for some of my Sketchy London pics. I think these need a nice (reassuringly quality) textured paper. So many decisions. (they look miles better in real life than they do on this phone screen) #london #sketches #art #artcollectors

Some new art finished in the studio this week. The picture features a vibrant display of clocks and watches in a Cubist and Expressionist style, depicting the concept of time. #artcollectors #surrey #CubistArt #interiordesign

London Westminster Sketchy London 3. A view whilst visiting art galleries. I am still trying to understand why the brain perceives the abstraction/simplification in a sketch or painting differently that a detailed photo. #london #simonkiddart #westminster #art

Another sketchy London picture. Sketchy London 2 Based upon some recent photos I took. Apparently all the tall buildings have nicknames, although I'm not sure what they all are. #simonkiddart #sketchy #digitalart #london
