This year I am pursuing a dual theme of brightly coloured collages of the Oxford skyline and a number of local scenes in watercolour.
I made a few Oxford collages in 2023 and found that once you get started you can get carried away! ‘Oxford in books’ and ‘Oxford wrapped up’ already exist, followed by ‘Saxon Oxford’ and ‘Musical Oxford’. Then came 'Arts and Crafts Oxford' and 'Oxford in bloom', not to mention 'Cheesy Oxford'!
My first love was watercolour and I have returned to this with some local views of Little Wittenham church, Dorchester Abbey and Wittenham Clumps. A recent holiday in Orkney may well lead to some more landscapes by the autumn.
