Memories of Mud
watercolour sketch
It was a lovely long weekend because the schools were closed thursday and friday. We enjoyed a walk in the woods with two daughters, remembering the days when we'd have to carry muddy children most of the way!
Dreamlike Painting
I like to make pictures that aren't a conventional landscape, so that the ground and the sky are interchangeable, dreamlike, floating. These paintings are done using my Tombow dual brush pens, the watercolour effect is made by adding water to the pen marks with an ordinary brush. This next one below is painted in watercolours and the black is done in waterproof drawing pens. Next is a picture made with my coloured pencils that I've had for ever. They might be ancient but they still do the job! Oh. And my black pentel brush pen and a gold gel pen. I love a bit of gold. And finally here's a cute little cucumber that Middle Daughter grew in her garden. It looks like a lemon doesn't it? It's about the same size as a satsuma and I think they're called lemon cucumbers but let me assure you they taste like a very tasty cucumber. Have a great week!xx

These photos remind me of the incredible walks through the New Forest. I bet the snow made it so beautiful...oh how I miss your fair island!
Thanks Jess!
This is such a snowy winter! It's snowing here in the Pacific Northwest again tonight (after thunder, lightening and hail). Very unusual for us to have so much.
It's weird isn't it especially as Australia is so very hot at the moment!
