Painting created by Muriel Lewis c.1968 in the art therapy studio at Netherne hospital where she was compelled to live. This work is unlike her others which depict Surrey villages & autobiographical scenes from life before & during hospitalisation whose seeming tranquility are suffused with disquiet

Painting of a female figure with long black hair and her hands crossed over her stomach, standing feet wile alert made from white triangles outlined in grey on a plaster pink background composed of white geometric shapes. The paper is yellowed by age and in the bottom left in cursive script, the words to Adamson, his kind of for, reference front hall

Found a bonus Puffin Post in a pile of papers I was tidying away. An almost wistful melancholy quality to this one, Jill McDonald having rendered every little detail beautifully as usual, that perfect skyline darkening under dusk, the aeroplane almost exiting the frame

Cover of a puffin post magazine featuring a gorgeous colourful illustration of two cartoon puffins with the years 1971 and 1972 emblazoned in pale pink on their tummies hovering above a shadowy city skyline with a blazing pink yellow and orange dusk behind them, about all this the words puffin post in white hand lettering

Last of a recent brilliant bundle of Puffin Post magazines. Part of my pleasure in collecting them is sharing them here & seeing others enjoy them too. Another glorious Jill McDonald illustration & a bright reminder that spring light always returns, as autumn dampens the air & lengthens the shadows

Cover of a 1971 puffin post magazine with colourful cartoon illustration of a giant puffin head with a ladybird mooching along their beak, emerging from a green hedge looking up at cherry blossoms and insects, including a bee, a red admiral butterfly and something that looks like a kind of pink tea fish with lots of legs and wings flitting about above in a bright blue sky. In the top right corner, the title puffin post is hand lettered in hot pink psychedelic script
