5.5 x 5.5 in  -  14 x 14 cm     Watercolor     Going to a wedding on Saturday. Instead of having a guest book or such to sign, we have been sent square pieces of card on which to write our goodwill messages, paint or whatever. This is my offering.

It was painted from life. This is a shot I took of the arrangement so you could see roughly what I could see.

This quick sketch was painted while visting friends.

This is not quite the view I had of the scene and after a while what I could see was blocked by a plant having its roots soaked but that is all part of the challenge of painting.

This was painted for a Different Strokes From Different Folks challenge blog. So you will have to look here if you want to see the ref photo. Scroll to the bottom of that long post to get to the ref.

I am reasonably pleased with this.

This painting is another from our recent visit to France. I think it just about comes off.

Painted, as normal, back home in the studio.

We have been away fro a few nights staying in Dinan (Brittany, France). We had a cabin for the overnight crossing a very pleasant way to do the trip.

Visit this link if you want see the trip photos.

I painted this back home. It's a sort of, in the studio, quick sketch.
