- [Spring Surge](https://www.ruth-mccabe-artist.co.uk/2026/05/14/2796/) - Its a relief to respond to the burgeoning energy that Spring brings us. After winter months that were relentlessly grey, wet and cold, and in which my ability to ‘make’ work seemed at least waterlogged, even stuck in the mud, thankfully we’re now blessed with sunshine, warmer breezes and colour all round. And my making
- [Mad March Hares](https://www.ruth-mccabe-artist.co.uk/2026/03/16/mad-march-hares/) - I’ve long been fascinated by the European Brown Hare.It is reported that their numbers have dropped by about 75% since WWIIWhen I lived in a rural setting, walks across fields early in the year would occasionally offer sight of boxing hares, or just a single hare racing across a field, and, for no reason I
- [Little and large](https://www.ruth-mccabe-artist.co.uk/2025/02/18/little-and-large-2/) - Since late 2025, and after a house move and a year of renovation, I set my mind to getting my artwork back up and running, especially with around 5 exhibitions to make work for in the year ahead. Beginning work after a longish gap can feel daunting. What to paint?In which medium?How big? Starting small can
- [Thinking](https://www.ruth-mccabe-artist.co.uk/2025/02/14/thinking/) - “Don’t think. Thinking is the enemy of creativity. It’s self-conscious, and anything self-conscious is lousy. You can’t try to do things. You simply must do things.” – Ray Bradbury Colours and forms sneak into my mind - its part of how I work. I will look at a blank sheet of paper or board, and
- [Success](https://www.ruth-mccabe-artist.co.uk/2025/02/15/august-2023/) - Fund-raising success! This 50cm collage donated to the RNLI: ’A bit bouncy’, raised around £400 for Southwold lifeboat crew, on a horribly wet day! Very pleased with that. I’ve also been working on an 80cm collage on board. Working on most pieces takes the form of a lengthy, stop-start process, with long gaps while I
- [Wintering](https://www.ruth-mccabe-artist.co.uk/2025/02/16/wintering/) - A friend I sing with, spoke yesterday about looking forward to the Spring. I get it. Its November. We are surrounded by growing carpets of vivid oranges, yellows and reds as trees shed leaves they have extracted nutrients from, exposing these gorgeous colours. But this colour will wane over the next few months as
- [All Change](https://www.ruth-mccabe-artist.co.uk/2025/02/17/autumn-into-winter-2024-all-change/) - 'Safely out' The spaces in which we work play a significant role in the work we make. I’ve moved to be closer to my beloved sea (North sea coast), but that move will mean a smaller and very different working space. I’m looking forward to discovering how this will shape what I do. I can
- [The Mystery of Making](https://www.ruth-mccabe-artist.co.uk/2025/02/19/the-mystery-of-making/) - I don’t know if its just artists’ minds that stumble haphazardly upon ideas, or indeed, whether its just how my mind works, but this post will illustrate an example of how things get made less by planning than by accident. A few weeks ago this cradled board just had the black collage piece on the
- [Rhythms](https://www.ruth-mccabe-artist.co.uk/2023/07/19/rhythms/) - I hope you’ve got time to read to the end where there’s some very exciting local news :))“Insecurity and paradox are baked into life and living itself.” The quote is Buddhist in origin. I’m not Buddhist but I like what they have to say. And, being honestly straightforward in general, the self-promotion that artists are
- [Success!](https://www.ruth-mccabe-artist.co.uk/2023/07/05/success/) - “Several shades of grey”, a large (90x 50cm) watercolour is selected for entry to the Sir John Hurt Prize! This painting is a strong example of my work pushing the boundaries of how watercolour is used. I spent 10 years working with this medium to master its unique qualities, and explore what contribution it could
- [With open studios close at hand](https://www.ruth-mccabe-artist.co.uk/2023/05/30/1148/) - With open studios close at hand, and a commission needing thought and work, the time has come to dive back into gathering and developing ideas. To get the juices flowing, I opted into an online course published by Paintbox Studio, using the subconscious, memory and imagination to create starting points for work, involving sound, spoken

- [Blowing Hot and Cold](https://www.ruth-mccabe-artist.co.uk/2023/05/22/may-2023/) - Blowing Hot and Cold This favourite object in my studio may tell you something about what the space represents for me. Feet from a combine harvester. Handle entirely bespoke. (Not shown): chimney is a stainless steel HGV exhaust pipe. External rain shield is the drinking bowl of its creator’s wolf hybrid. The main chamber of
- [Containing places](https://www.ruth-mccabe-artist.co.uk/2023/05/03/containing-places/) - Greetings from (at last) a sunny Suffolk (UK). And greetings from my contemporary art practice.

Its about 20 years ago that I last undertook a commission! Rather than just me and some materials, marks and unseen impulses driving them, other people are involved. They want something.Its the same really when gallery offers a theme to
- [Signlessness, aimlessness and emptiness.](https://www.ruth-mccabe-artist.co.uk/2022/10/11/signlessness-aimlessness-and-emptiness/) - HI, AND THANK YOU FOR SIGNING UP TO MY MAILING LIST. I am not a Buddhist, but I do find many appealing understandings within its teachings, including the three properties in the title of this blog post which I believe are referred to as the ‘Three doors to liberation’.On my website I quote words written
