A visit to The Citadel ...

A visit to my friend Sylvia's idyllic home in Shropshire with magnificent views towards Wales, what a treat.  A pot of tea and home made cake spread on the table in the glorious sun of early September and I had a black pot filled with cut herbs right beside me, there were also some white anemone which took my eye...... I could happily keep a daily sketchbook of Sylvia's garden alone .....

A recent visit to Weston Park ...

We had walked to Weston Park from a friend's house and, as always there were endless sketching opportunities.  I advocate having a very small, limited kit to keep handy for sketching, whether that is at home, in your car or in your bag.   A smaller kit means you can easily pick it up and use it, ideally every day ..........

Food ...

Sometimes I really am stuck for something to sketch or paint, but there is always food......
