Summer Tales

Now as August comes to a close , I reflect on an amazing summer. Hot sunny day, long warm nights and journals bursting with new ideas to explore through my creativeness. I spent many days of study and stitching on my embroidery work with The Royal School of Needlework, Hampton Court London. Improving my skills and knowledge of the subject. The weather allowed for much Plein Air painting and walks along the seashores collecting shells. It very much was a summer of living outdoors and being close to nature.

I worked a lot in oil paints this summer, enjoying their ease of flow and power of colour. My fingers are a little sore from lots and lots of embroidery work but I have created some very tiny and very large works for autumn events.

Although the weather is cooling down and the trees are changing colour there is still so much pleasure in making my art outdoors. From my garden studio I can watch the tide ebb and flow . Exciting times lay ahead and with seasons change new art is created.
