It Must Be Spring

-

It must be spring because my garden is beginning to come to life again.


Time to do some tidying up,



to make space for all the new flowers to grow!


 Thankyou for your lovely comments about my fish-loving daughter! It's amazing how her interest was there all along, who'd have known?
 Blogger have allowed me to have my bloglist back hooray! You can now see it at last in the right hand sidebar. What with the Facebook changes and Blogger changes I've had a lot to learn lately!
I hope you haven't had difficulties too. :)

Oh that is a beautiful picture, Jess. I sometimes braid my hair when working in the garden (wish it was as thick as the garden lady's!)
I do love this time of year in the garden but there is such a lot to get done. In recent years parts have "got away from us" so we are having to work especially hard now.

Happy spring to you! The leaves are being to full off the trees in my garden as we say goodbye to summer - I love your painting - I've been looking at all the detail. The roundness of the flowers and then all the leaves, ah and the bird, your paintings are always filled with detail yet have an uncluttered feeling, a feeling of space - wonderful

Dear Jess,

Will that beautiful picture be available in your etsy shop, pretty please?

Researching and writing about the cross between garden aesthetics and performing arts has made me very keen on the personification of gardens and flowers. Your creation fits the bill for me. It makes me think of 'Bloom where you are planted'. Beautiful.

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. I love the pearlescent inks, they're so beautiful when they catch the light. The paintings above and below are painted in acrylic. I've been obsessed with watercolour for a few weeks but I felt I'd like to get some acrylics out again. I've always been like this, going through phases of being obsessed with a particular medium thinking yes this is it! This is my final medium and then finding myself being drawn to changing once again to a different way of wor...
