Sweet Magnolias

I had a lovely weekend. It included; family, children, sketching, sunshine, relaxing, Kew Gardens, photography, magnolias and best of all, no renovating a cottage. It was lovely.

The magnolias smelt lovely and they were out in full bloom, attracting tourists, keen gardeners and also students using them as backgrounds in their photoshoots. Mind you these trees are so beautiful it's no wonder they attracted such interest.

I hope you all had a good weekend. I can't believe it's all over and it's Monday again.

Have a great week!

A little break

Sorry I have been absent of late. I had hoped I would be back on track by now, painting lots and having some more art to show. But the hand has taken longer to heal and time with the family has been the order of the day. So I'm not complaining.

The good news is that my hand is healing up nicely, albeit longer than I ever expected, so I hope to get back to the painting soon. In the meantime I have been tidying up this blog a bit, researching painting techniques and taking some time to relax.

Hope you are all having a good week!
