SWEET PEAS

I had forgotten this little painting I did at a workshop a couple of weeks ago.  I decided that sweet peas are not the easiest flowers to paint!!  The painting was done on a six inch square gesso board with a lovely smooth surface. Great to paint on!

KELMARSH HALL & GARDENS

A great day painting by the Lake in the gardens at Kelmarsh. It was good to have some lovely sun to add to the reflections in the water.  There were some pretty yellow iris on the far bank.

Cromford Mill - Derbyshire

Another lovely spot to paint! We left in pouring rain and howling wind in the morning, and by the time we set up the sun shone on our efforts to capture the scene.

Derbyshire - The Peak District

A few lovely days away in the Peak District, glorious scenery, and despite the wind and rain we managed to dodge the showers and find some lovely spots to paint. Not always out of the wind!! We just stopped at this spot having been attracted by the little barn which made a lovely focal point in the sun.
