Nightmares? Look into my eyes, look into my eyes. When you go to bed tonight you will count backwards from three hundred and twenty three until you fall into a deep slumber with beautiful, fuzzy dreams....
and by the way. How did you change the title of your blog without affecting the URL?

Summer Breeze

What's happened to the weather? It's raining and windy and my gas was switched of all day yesterday so it was cold too! This little sketch popped into my sketchbook from my windy head. I finished this painting on canvas above a few days ago, it's called 'Safe Harbour' and soon after finished the other painting (with the bird flying a kite) too. I didn't have a name for it until the end and I decided upon 'Summer Breeze'. That was a day when the sun was still shining but the wind was beginning to stir.

I love the handpainted wallpaper in one of the rooms, so detailed. It was difficult to choose which part to photograph there was so much amazing pattern.   It's based on   an early English chinoiserie wallpaper from around 1700. The artist Mark Sands working on t...
