Float On

I paint to music, I find it uplifting, inspirational and combining my two most favourite loves is heavenly.  :  )

Deer Park After the Rain

Last month we were invited to a neighbours wedding, it was in a hall set in the most beautiful surroundings at Woburn Abbey Safari Park, in the evening and there was a last glow of sunlight before dark. It had been raining all day and everything sparkled in all shades of green.

Deepest Red

These roses are such a dark red colour, in places they look almost black.
 I've found that most roses don't get much past the bud stage, I don't know how they are being grown and picked but they never seem to fully open up like garden grown roses, which is a little disappointing when I would like to paint them during all the different stages.

The weather here is magnificent in all its glory, wind and rain with autumn leaves blowing in all directions.

Gladioli and a Persimmon

This painting is very much in my comfort zone, its what I love to paint...flowers, fruit and glass jars. When I'm tired and out of sorts all I have to do is pick up a brush and have my favourite props around me and I'm happy.

Optimism

One of the meanings in flower language for this golden Anastasia is optimism. I bought this single flower from a shop in St Pancras train station in London last week. There is a definite art to presenting flowers and this florist wrapped my flower with flair and expertise, it was amazing to watch her at work.
