Finished! My new #painting is 'Magpies’ Treasure.'
There's gold & jewels (& other trinkets #Detectorists & #SmallProphets fans will recognise) but for the #birds the real treasure is those eggs.
More info: https://janetomlinson.com/products/magpies-treasure#watercolour size 435mm x 324mm
But here's the shocker... studies show that magpies are NOT actually attracted to shiny things! They’re cautious around unfamiliar things. Their curiosity and intelligence may have inspired the myth, which lives on in folklore - and in my painting.

My #painting of #magpies treasure has now moved on to the nest itself. Lovely, fiddly, detailed & painstaking work in a symphony of umbers.
And yes, in a nod to #detectorists, I DID add a cycling proficiency badge, just like the one I had in the 1970s.

If you've been watching the development of my #painting of two #magpies... the treasure is coming!
Should I add a cycling proficiency badge do you think?

My #painting of two #magpies and their treasure is progressing - though rather more slowly than I would like. I need a least an hour completely undisturbed to get any painting done and that has been hard to find!
Anyway, check out all those awesome colours in the plumage. Gosh, that was fun to paint.
My next task is to start on their treasure, all tangled up in the nest.

I've been watching the #magpies in the trees & orchard opposite our house. They're pretty busy this time of year!
And they've inspired me to draft a composition for a new #painting. This afternoon I added the first tentative jewels of #watercolour. There's not much to see here yet, but I think even from this crappy photo you can see there will be treasure!
(Plus there will be all kinds of things to enjoy if you're a fan of #Detectorists and #SmallProphets.)

@slowe we caught the detectorist towards the end of series two and had to catch up all of the episodes. It is just great television.

Belatedly starting to watch "Small Prophets", the new BBC sitcom from Mackenzie Crook. As a huge fan of his "Detectorists" series I'm very happy to give another TV creation by him a go. And this new one has a similar vibe. https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episodes/m002q765/small-prophets #TV #BBC #Occult #Supernatural #Detectorists

#SmallProphets is the most joyful thing on TV since #Detectorists. Such warmth, humanity & acceptance as well as quirks & whimsy.
It's an antidote for a world that's gone completely BONKERS.
(UK viewers - binge the whole series on BBC iPlayer. We've already watched it thru 4 times.)
#MackenzieCrook (writer and director) is a bloody genius.

I watched the first episode of #SmallProphets and it was just like the #Detectorists: slow, alright to watch, but who really cares?
Actually the slowness did piss me off. Basically it had half an episode of events padded out into a full episode.
I knew it was about the supernatural, but by half way through I realised that nothing (overtly) supernatural was going to happen until the very end.
And I was right! Shocker! Except the 'supernatural' ending was a badly photoshopped photo of a fairy in a jar.
And for doing that, the show can go fuck itself. I won't be held hostage by the promise of magical-things-to-come just as long as I keep watching this dreary pile of crud.
No, it didn't move me enough for me to care.
It might sound like I hated it, but really, I'm quite neutral about it -- indifferent -- which is why it took me a couple of days to actually bother to write this.
I so miss the more quickfire, action-packed comedy they used to do. I'm so bored of this middle-class, slow, pseudo-thoughtful plop, performed to the soundtrack of bland folk music.
It's not comedy, it's *heh*

Inspired by the sublime #SmallProphets to watch #Detectorists. Toby Jones is quite astoundingly brilliant. What an actor.

We're currently re-watching the (practically perfect) BBC TV series #Detectorists for the umpteenth time. Have you seen it?
It prompted me to share with you some details of my #paintings inspired by its gentle genius.

An old news story that still makes me smile.
#Detectorists unearth '#Roman #gold haul' turns out to be TV show Detectorists prop.
Andy Sampson & Paul Adams had been metal detecting in a field on the Suffolk/Essex border when they found more than 50 "gold" coins with pottery.
Mr Sampson said his friend started "shouting & jumping around & dancing" after he found the "treasure".
However, it emerged the fake coins were a prop for the BBC show Detectorists.

A Texas man is reunited with the class ring he lost 56 years ago
Al DiStefano with the ring he received upon graduating from Fordham University in 1969. The ring was found by David Orlowski using a metal detector just a few miles from where DiStefano says he lost it.

Now, I think I want to go back and re-watch The Detectorists series. What a great series that was.

I was going to do various things this evening after dinner, but then there was a thing with Mackenzie Crook talking about Detectorists. Then S1e1 and now the 2015 Xmas special. And I’m sat watching it all, like any normal person would. I can’t even go past the little 30s previews on Netflix, so obviously I’m here for the duration. Such a joy of a programme.
-
awww, it truly is a field of happiness!

It must be getting close to Xmas/Winterval because the 'raising of the gazebo scene' in the series three finale of the Detectorists has me in tears.

I've finished my #painting "Waiting for you". It's about human #history & our place within #MotherNature, a theme I have returned to many times.
#Detectorists fans will recognise the stories I'm telling!

My #painting about #history & nature is *very close* to being finished. I'll reveal all once I'm completely sure it's done, and there's enough daylight to get a properly decent photo of it, rather than phone snaps in nasty artificial light.
#Detectorists fans will recognise 'the briar & the bramble' and one or two other things...
