I’m what you might call a night owl. My favourite time of day to be outside is just before sunset. I often see beautiful, long-lasting sunsets and less often, fellow true night owls. I had a lovely encounter with one recently and it’s the inspiration for a slowly evolving artwork. I use weekly colour prompts from Colour Collective (@Clr_Collective on Twitter) to guide this ongoing glimpse into my backyard adventureland. I’m enjoying this slow growth of colour influenced by external stimuli.

Owl inspired by Stefan Große Halbuer’s Plastober prompt Flying High
and the colour prompt Paean Black.
Watercolour trees inspired by the colour Deep Fir Green.
Watercolour sunset inspired by the colour Vermilion.
