Having painted these this morning, I’ve just scoffed two for lunch. Love eating my subject matter! I’m hoping to get to Coton Manor tomorrow as there is some sunshine forecast and the gardens look wonderful at the moment so if you don’t hear from me – I’ll be in the beds with my easel. Enjoy your weekend.

I barely ever to on a trip without coming back with something else for my props cupboard and it is groaaaning, believe me. It’s a bit of an addiction. I found this pot in Camden, Maine – a beautiful harbour town where we idled away an afternoon in the sun. I loved the shape of this pot and the Cosmos are still going in my garden although looking a little sad now.

Well hello……..I’m back from my long holiday and at the easel again, flying in the face of jetlag and eager to get on. I have to tell you, New England in the fall is all it promises to be despite our missing the best show (it is running later than anticipated this year). What colours. I’ll show you some of the paintings when I get a mo. The second half of the hols was spent with family and I had such fun with little Freya………she’s a real hoot.
Anyway, onwards and upwards. I’ve got a lot of exciting things coming up which I will drip feed you with this week but in the meantime, here are some of what’s left in the garden. I think perhaps it will take me yonks to get it into shape for the winter – hoping to get my back into that this weekend.
