The Most Beautiful Garden

-

This must have been the hottest weekend we've had for a long time, I'm not sure if I feel envy or pity for those at Glastonbury Festival!
Ok...envy.
Anyway, I'd recently heard a local garden that had become open to the public and what a find! It's called Hanham Court. It has to be a little piece of heaven.
Like most photos these don't do it justice but I am drooling over those delskinnybums...oops I mean delphiniums.



Some welcome water.

I can only dream..............!

More Cottages During Lockdown and a Change in Medium.

I've been thinking about why I'm drawing cottages lately.  Maybe it's because there aren't many people around where we live and on our daily walks we rarely come across anyone else which I suppose is a good thing as we're still in Lockdown and have to practice Social Distancing which has now become a very well used phrase in our language! Maybe it's this lack of seeing people around that my mind is turning towards houses and flowers? The ones above are done in ink.

This is my final medium and then finding myself being drawn to changing once again to a different way of wor...
