A behind-the-scenes look at Lis bringing a Beltane mural panel to life at Circular ArtSpace — from first brushstroke to finished piece, painted on May Day itself.
Inspired by the Morris dancing tradition, the colours catch that early morning light that so many were up to greet. The panel is now on display outside the gallery, the first piece in what will become a growing outdoor space showcasing work by artists from our community.
We are so grateful to Lis for this beautiful piece — it has given our outdoor space the most wonderful start.
And this is just the beginning — we’re delighted to be working with Lis on the Fishponds Mural Festival coming in 2027. Watch this space.

HAPPY (belated) BELTANE 🌱

I was invited up to @circular.artspace to do a board for their outside area. Since I was painting on Mayday, it was only fit my dear friends Morris hat be the inspiration. Sunrise colours reflecting the early start many had on the day.
-
Shoutout to the Morris scene, giving their time and energy to help keep community traditions alive. Always recommend catching @kittiwakebordermorris & @mollynomatesmorris in Bristol or beyond if you get the chance, and huge thanks to Circular for being wonderful as always 💜🧡
