Hilary's flower arrangements....

Hilary had lovely garden flower arrangements dotted around the house, so I set to moving from room to room, chair to chair using pen to quickly draw them in their various vases of glass, china and pottery....my reward was Hilary's fabulous cakes and biscuits, she is an excellent baker, yummy x x

Weston Park....

How lucky for me that one of my Artist friends lives very near to Weston Park.  Here are some quick sketches we did one afternoon.  It was wet and in the lovely glass house we had to move the bench so that we were not being dripped on.  Outside it was a matter of sitting on our coats in a doorway, so these are necessarily quick sketches to capture the moment, supported by photos for future reference.

Rosa's Portrait...

About eighteen months ago I decided to paint my first portrait in oils, my subject was our gorgeous grand daughter, Rosa, ...............It's fair to say that I thoroughly enjoyed the entire process x x
