olive trees

I've just finished my latest painting - inspired by olive trees in the garden with sunlight dappled through their branches.

More drawing

Experimenting with texture, shade and light. Plus practising drawing of course, something I don't do nearly often enough. We've been working on our new website if you have a chance to look I'd be really grateful for any feedback.

At last . . .

At last some sunshine after months of greyness. It's still cold but for the last few days the sun has been shining and the sky is blue. This winter will certainly make me appreciate Spring (my favourite season) even more than usual.

Sunlight

It's been a cold but sunny day here today in a wintry kind of way. I'm always fascinated by the patterns the sun makes on my walls especially when it is reflected through glass vases or creates weird shadows of objects in its path. Couldn't resist including My Jack Russell who found a lovely warm and sunny spot - he was actually quiet for a few minutes.

Autumn woods

There was something about the colours, shapes and sunlight in this view that simply took my breath away.
