My Confused Garden and the Give Away Winner

-
My garden doesn't know what it's doing. We haven't had any frost here yet so maybe that explains why I still have strawberries growing.




and nasturtiums!



The lilac is in bud despite the wintery looking sky


and primroses are beginning to bloom


but the virginia creeper knows what season it is and so do I! Less than 6 weeks until christmas, how did that happen?!

Here is the result of my give away. Thankyou to all that took part, I really appreciate the time you took to choose which paintings you'd like. :) I've used an online random number generator, and the person who is number 4 in the comments on that post is......

Yvonne !

Congratulations Yvonne, please send me your home address so I can send your chosen paintings to you. :)

Congratulations Yvonne on your win.

I am glad the gardens aren't looking to closely to winter. We had some snow last week (weirdly) but I am happy to still have the golden autumnal look; it is so beautiful.

Our garden is much confused also, some things are blooming that bloomed in March or April, and others have withered which ought to be in bloom now. We had a few snow flakes, but nothing as much as Bath. x

What an amazing garden! We have only had one light frost so far and my nasturtiums and strawberries are taking their winter sleep now..although I noticed one brave calendula had opened her pretty petals this week :)

Thankyou all. :) It's beginning to get a bit nippy outside but things look pretty much the same with no signs of change yet!

Congratulations to Yvonne.
Your garden is confused! Ours still has a few summer blooms hanging on despite a couple of frosts.
Your snail will make short work of the primroses.

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...
