Glad to be Painting

It's gladioli time in the shops and I love their tall stems and angular flowers.

Two' s Company

It's been five months since my last post , I have been painting, not as much as I would like to.
Daily painting is still something I would dearly love to get back into and the good thing about blogging is that everything is still here waiting.

So todays painting is fresh off my easel and really my favourite subject, still life.

Collage Fun

I've been meaning to work on a collage for ever such a long time and finally today I actually did it. It was great fun and a learning tool .

A Spring Sketch

In a world of uncertainty a simple bunch of daffodils appear as a comfort and joy.

Take me to the River

This was an experiment in an imaginary landscape. I enjoyed it, and actually felt free to create without the restrictions of reality.
The title is also a song by Al Green, which I love.

Sense Euphoria

It's not easy having flowers at home with Minnie. She will have a sniff and then  attack them and sometimes knock over the vase. It doesn't matter if she's naughty though she makes me smile so many times a day.

Suburbia II

Any day now blossoms are about to open all over the town, always such a joyful sight.

Something I love to have in my home, flowers on the table.

Suburbia

This scene is common in Bedfordshire and lifts my heart every time I see these beautiful trees.

I've just had a look at all the artists that I have been following over the years and you are all truly inspirational!! So many of you have kept going with your art and blogging.
 It's time to get back to daily painting. I know that it was daily painting that helped me to progress the most and over the last four years there have been too many gaps of not creating. That time cannot come back , but I can do better . So, rain or shine I do need to paint and there is no time like the present.
