Flower power

I just love this photo by Amy Merrick. It reminds me of the Cottage Garden at Sissinghurst Castle Gardens. I live close by and visit often. It is a magical setting with a suitably eccentric, quirky, aristocratic English history behind it.

Green, there is no getting away from it in the painting above! Very pleased to have sold this at the Hampshire Art Fair last week.

Monday morning

Thanks to everyone who came to my and Sam Williams art sale last Friday and Saturday. It was a lovely two days, really enjoyable and busy. The painting below had the most positive feedback....it is titled 'Rainy Afternoon'. maybe more people like rain than I thought!

Moving foward, I am working on this piece this morning, working title 'Rainy Summer Afternoon'. More layers required. Actually it is bright and beautiful at the moment, a light frost and blue skies.

Daisies!

Daisies. 80x40cm

One more painting, a smallish one, for my sale next Thursday and Friday. This one has been on the back burner for a while, now I have been having fun, and using a lot of paint...and different mediums too. It is 60x60cm

Molygrove, Wales

 After a visit to Wales the other weekend, I made this painting. We stayed in a beautiful house with a sea view, and tiny bay just a few moments walk away. Molygrove is a hamlet, the house we stayed just outside. The weather was alternatively wet and bright, gorgeous for the landscape fan!
This painting is 90x90cm
