Yesterday it was painting my lunch. Today it’s painting my breakfast. Citrus are in plentiful supply here and make the most fabulous juice, pink grapefruit being my alltime fave.

The last of those little oranges, I think I’ve picked the tree clean! There are some sweetpeas bravely climbing up the wall but they need a little strong sun yet……..maybe in a few weeks. My eye is firmly on them.
Incidentally, I’ve just updated my workshop page with new dates. You can check them by clicking here.

Ok, last one…..promise. Well, I do have a tree-full in the garden so they might just reappear at some time.
Hoping to get out into the hills this weekend and do a spot of sketching if possible. The sun has returned briefly but tomorrow rain is forecast so nothing doing there. Hey ho.

Oh, those oranges keep coming. I’m getting a bit sick of them now, hope you’re not feeling the same way.
All good practice.

The oranges are still going and featuring a lot this week. It was a lovely sunny day today but I was hard at it at the easel so didn’t see much of it. I’ve been working on a larger painting of oranges which I’ll show you when finished.

Oranges are in plentiful supply here and are delicious. Before they go in the juicer, there will be a few painting s this week. The winner of the prize draw last week, to celebrate my having completed five years of daily painting is………….drum roll – Lucy Yarrow. Could you please email me with your address Lucy and congratulations.
This old, French coffee tin was a junk-shop find. I have to restrain myself from going in them these days as my props cupboard won’t take much more.

Sorry I didn’t blog yesterday. Had a much needed admin day – you know, lists upon lists and the dreaded tax return! Anyway, these oranges are the sweet variety that make delicious juice and the tile is Pakistani from the town of Multan. Off to celebrate the King of Thailand’s birthday this evening, well in Pakistan, so looking forward to some good Thai food……mmm
