Front Cover: Jill Blake - ‘Otterly Charming’

I am a local artist and member of Steyning arts.

Mainly I paint in watercolours but I’ve been experimenting with acrylics during our long lockdown periods.

I love painting animals, but with a bit of a twist. My paintings are very “loose” and often feature what are considered strange colours for animals. A tiny touch of crimson, violet or turquoise can often bring an animal’s coat to life. It’s all very experimental - just like life itself! The cover painting is called ‘Otterly Charming’
