Finished this beautiful Iris unguicularis ‘Walter Butts’ Chelsea Physic Garden for their Florilegium Archives-hope it gets accepted! I use Arches Papers, Proarte with DANIEL SMITH: Artists' Materials
London’s oldest botanic garden has a fine collection of snowdrops, which it shows off at its Heralding Spring season each year. Visitors to the 350-year-old institution can spot plenty of the pretty white blooms on a stroll around its four-acre grounds, but if you fancy learning more about them you can attend a talk by snowdrop fan Professor George G. Brownlee (Sat Jan 21) or book a guided tour with a resident horticulturist (Thu Jan 26).
Flower fact: The common snowdrop’s botanical classification galanthus nivalis is derived from the Greek words for ‘milk’ and ‘flower’, plus the Latin word for ‘snow’.
Chelsea Physic Garden, 66 Royal Hospital Rd, SW3 4HS.

As part of the 350th Anniversary Year at Chelsea Physic Garden I will be teaching a
Botanical Sketchbook Workshop: Drawing with Ink
Friday 19 May 2023, 10:30am – 4pm
£60
Be inspired by seasonal botanical subjects and learn how to portray them in ink. Using observational drawing from life, you will be guided in all aspects of drawing your chosen subject, from structure through to making it look three dimensional on the paper.
Ink is often used for scientific botanical illustration, but it can also be used for more spontaneous drawing approaches, using both fine line pens and traditional dip pens, both of which will be provided as part of this workshop. Come and enjoy a day of botanical drawing and mark-making, concluding with taking home your own concertina sketchbook.

The push to make better art.
Last week we launched a new brand Kaleid.me Incredibly it’s been 17 years (next month) since we last did that, and in that time York Place Studios has grown into something that we never expected. We love documentary photography more than ever and feel so privileged to be able to spend our time taking photographs and writing and speaking about our absolute favourite subject. In fact, we have even bigger plans for York Place Studios next year which we are excited to share very soon!
It is important to us to always continue to challenge ourselves and (whilst York Place remains documentary-led), just as street photography influenced our wedding work, we find that ideas and perspectives activated in a new and different field can often be brought back into YPS and help develop us as photographers. Growing, learning, expanding and seeking understanding is so, so important. Our work is continually evolving and developing and we couldn’t be prouder that after nearly 17 years in the industry we still continue to push ourselves out of our comfort zone and challenge ourselves as photographers to make better art.
Speaking of art, Charlie and Lucy’s wedding was a photographer’s dream. Colourful and spontaneous, fun and silly, whilst remaining emotional and real, we absolutely loved every second.
Here is a glimpse into this bubble-filled, colour-centric and delightful day at Chelsea Physic Garden

Today I received this work in progress photo from Chris Aston Ceramics. He is making me 250 mugs for Chelsea Physic Garden to celebrate their 350 year anniversary in 2023. I loved doing the illustration for the mugs what a great collaboration. The mugs will be on sale in their gift shop from January 2023.

Fascinating talk today at our monthly Chelsea Physic Garden Florilegium Meeting about Benton End house and gardens in Hadleigh, Suffolk is the 16th century former home of celebrated artist-plantsman, Sir Cedric Morris and his partner, the artist Arthur Lett-Haines. There they established the East Anglian School of Painting and Drawing – a sanctuary for a diverse range of influential artists, writers, musicians and botanists of the 20th century. Now under the care of the of London, and with a dedicated Board of Trustees, the house is preparing to open once again as a place to celebrate and learn about art and horticulture.
