River Lea

This is painted from a photo taken along a footpath that runs parallel to the river Lea. I don't know if I love it or hate it, but I think if I don't post  and get past it I will just stop and ponder over it forever!!!

Spring on Stockingstone Hill

I took this photo two years ago just as the trees and bushes were starting to sprout. A lot of twigs and grass , but I got there in the end.

Blossoms on Stockingstone Hill

I've spent the last three weeks stressing about the health of a family member. I am happy to say that things are back to normal. Just the worry stops me in my tracks and I can't pick up a paint brush to save my life!! There must be a way to put everything to one side and paint. If anyone knows of a way , PLEASE tell me. :  )

Anyway, every year I vow to go out there and paint the blossoms. They are not out yet , but this is from a photo I took two years ago.
