Delighted to exhibit 2 paintings @WattsGallery with @SGFADrawing alongside the current exhibition 'Scented Visions Smell in Art 1850-1815. Should be a fascinating parallel show. Image: Bees in the Vegetable Garden inspired by lazy summer afternoons #mixedmedia #beekeeping

Just 17 out of the 307 sewage pumping station on the River Mole has sewage dumping monitors and that's just one river system.

And some people would have you believe that we're monitoring all sewage dumping. We'er not even close.

Currently sitting in the dark in @DorkingHalls waiting for them to fix the broken projector so that we can watch Conclave. We are now on the second round if adverts Just contemplating walking out as the iver-run will be horrendous.

@GrimArtGroup Thank you for keeping us cheered throughout the year.

This is a truly amazing pictorial explanation of the passage of time since the beginning of Earth.

Imagine Earth's 4.6 billion-year history as a 30km journey by train from #London Bridge to #Reigate finishing with a walk to finish in the High Street. Ready to board the prehistory ThamesLink?! Where would we see the big events along the way and where would Humans appear? 🚉🕰️

Long been a fan of Craig Everett’s work, but have to say he came up with my favourite to date this year 😍 👏

⚠️ As expected the hashtag #TheGrimList2024🎖️appears to have angered the X #ReachGods🗿so going forward rt’s 🔁 particularly welcome 🙏🏻

Donald Trump, a self-confessed sexual assaulter, being named Time's Person of the Year over Gisele Pelicot, who was drugged & raped by her husband & 100 men for YEARS, and who waived anonymity to change the world for women, shows you exactly why women are rightly fucking ANGRY.

@GrimArtGroup Magnificent.

[Christine Hopkins @skylightstudio]

@GrimArtGroup Ahhh student memories in the 70’s!

I think the time is right to join .bsky but I’m finding it hard to locate many accounts that are worth following. If you’re there, give me a shout at https://t.co/tXxD9tXW1y - this is my profile pic over there.

@alicewoolley1 @guardian But surely the First Nations (or N America equivalents) are the only true natives?

@GardenRow1974 This is always my favourite. That yellow is like the old Birds custard powder, and makes me smile.

[Christine Hopkins @skylightstudio]

@GrimArtGroup Smashing - just my cup of tea!

@CarolineHarrap @ConnectGares What a stunning building!

[Christine Hopkins @skylightstudio]

@GrimArtGroup @adamsgallery42 Lovely folk like you are why I’m still on this platform - sharing the beauty in grimness.

[Christine Hopkins @skylightstudio]

On show @adamsgallery42 this is inspired by the meeting of William Blake and Samuel Palmer at 3 Fountain Court, The Strand. Exhbn FTS Blake, Palmer, Sutherland, Nash, many others. Is this grim enough @GrimArtGroup ?

[Christine Hopkins @skylightstudio]

@TMPHopkins1 Looks lovely!
