If anyone is in Stirlingshire (or nearby) this weekend… I’ll be at the Green Gallery in Buchlyvie for a two day market. Loads of lovely artists and makers, so come and see us if you can 💚 #shopsmall #artisanmarket #stirlingshire

Possibly my favourite ever setting for a market! Middle of a beautiful garden with plants coming into my stall! Love it. We are here all weekend, 10-4 tomorrow too 📍Buchlyvie, The Green Gallery Also, best bit is it is in my village so I got a visitor 🐾 💚💚💚

Great event today lovely people and lots of fun! And to top it off this evening it’s ‘Cuckoo - the 2nd installment’!!! Managed to film our Cuckoo cuckooing!! I’ll try and send details of a possible cuckoo egg sighting tomorrow…. It’s all go here!!

Cuckoos #3!! This is a yellow wagtail’s nest…! Look carefully at the right hand egg… it’s slightly different in colour and a bit larger … could it be a Cuckoo’s?? I e never seen one before

Thank you Weigh Ahead Gallery for this lovely opportunity to show some of my work in Dunblane. Really looking forward to seeing the exhibition! If you are local, please pop in to the gallery space (above @weighahead), a fabulous mix of Open Studio Stirlingshire artists will be on

Patience was Kingfisher's most exceptional talent. He would patiently wait for the right moment, he'd patiently listen to others and, most importantly, he was always patient with himself. Sometimes all you could do was wait, and Kingfisher understood this.

Cuckoo update #4 We’re at the stage were the eggs are hatching! Lots of advice to take out the cuckoo chick…. Have to say I’m a ‘let nature take its course’ sort of bloke …… ?

Stag had worked hard to be proud of who he was. He'd reached the point, when complimented, he'd graciously say 'Thank you, that's very kind'. Not an easy thing. Most his life he'd dismissed praise or humbly rejected it. Now though, he knew his worth. He wasn't ashamed to show it.

Cuckoo #5 …. And then there was 1! Much faster than I expected but you have to respect the efficiency of the little bugger….

Part 2. 💚 #processvideo #artprocess #wildlifeart #heron

With my open studios coming up this weekend, I have finished some new canvases to display for the week. Thought I'd offer an online preview, so this hare and a few new pieces are available on my website if you'd like to buy one before I get studio visitors!

Just needs a title. Any ideas?

If you pop along say hi to Charlotte from me x

Before and after the school run with Arthur this morning …. It’s going to be a scorcher this week! Hope the sun is shining on you too!

Cuckoo #6 the last one? Dorothy and I checked on the cuckoo and it was scary! Yes scary. Dorothy didn’t like it …. Check out the video - this has to be the ultimate ‘feed me’ action??

Little bee looking for a home… ‘Lilac Bumble’ 20x20cm oil on canvas, £210 charlottestrawbridge.co.uk/art

If you fancy some original art for your wall look no further ……

The wild flower meadow is starting to burst! So many yellow daisies but the poppies and cornflowers have started….

Saturday morning supporting the Lions …. The french commentary makes it interesting!! We’ll be supporting the team in person when we are in Adelaide!!! Can’t wait to start our tour ‘down under’. We’re on our way to Perth this time next week
