  1. CW: Running

    I ran the Run Cheltenham Half Marathon yesterday to raise money for Sue Ryder and, in perfect conditions, I got my second fastest time at 1:45:47. Copious jelly babies from spectators helped!

    It's not too late to donate: justgiving.com/page/matt-hodgk. Sue Ryder supports people at the end of their life and people who are grieving.

  2. CW: Running for charity

    I've been a runner for 7 years! My next challenge is running the Cheltenham Half Marathon in September for Sue Ryder - the first time I've run a race in my home town since school sports day!

  4. I was away for most of August, so haven’t created any new artworks for a little while. I have lots of ideas though so watch this space!

    This is a painting that I created earlier this year based on a photograph that I took at the Park Campus in Cheltenham.

  5. What are you looking at?

    If you’d like to look this greylag goose in the eye, he is on display at The Wilson in Cheltenham in the Environments exhibition, until June 25.

    My artworks on display are based on local open spaces that I can reach on foot. I have created watercolours, acrylics, mixed-media textiles and tactile works, alongside field recordings, photography and text.

  6. I was back with my paints today after some time off over Easter.

    I was working on this Leckhampton Hill view today.

    Watercolour on cradled panel
    12”x10”

    It’s a pointillism-style watercolour, a style that I’m really enjoying working in, and that suits my partially-sighted view of the world. And it features a park bench as a Long-Covid resting spot with a great view.

  7. This is an acrylic painting of Pittville Park that I was working on last week - it’s nearly finished.

    The larger landscapes that I am painting during my residency @thewilsonchelt will all include park benches, as this one does. Living with Long Covid means I really appreciate available seats when I am out and about.

  8. Some of the larger landscapes I’m working on now will include depictions of benches. This is a sign of how I spend time in nature now. I have always loved to walk. But now I often need to sit. Thanks to Long Covid, I don’t do well with standing up while staying still, so a bench is always a welcome sign to me.
