Wisteria - W&N watercolour on Bockingford 300gsm
Well, it seems my "last post" (previous post) is not the last post after all! I've had several requests to please keep on posting my art here as some people are not interested in looking for art in between photographs and all sorts of other posts! Hee hee! I completely understand that, so here I'm back, keeping this blog alive and my artwork separate from my other passions!
This painting is of a friend's Wisteria which is in full bloom and the scent is absolutely intoxicating! Just about the complete one side of her house is covered (there's a pergola next to the wall) and it's absolutely beautiful. The only problem is, the pergola is leaning dangerously close to a window from the weight of the plant and she says unfortunately she's going to have to take it down. That would be a real pity, but hopefully she can just trim it back a lot and retain some of the original plant. It his taken years to get to that size and planting a new one would take forever to produce this wonderful show.

Ha ha Teri! Thank you! But I have not stopped my art, I was just trying to kill this blog and post my art one one of my other blogs, SO many blogs to keep track of! But seeing as that didn't seem to work out, I'm back here again!
DeleteHey Maree! I've missed you on Sketching in Nature. Glad to see you're still at it. I'll just have to check here instead. Your work is so inspiring to me. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteAaaah, thank you for your lovely words Paula! I'm still at it, but I got a new camera and it's been photos, photos, photos lately! And I must say I haven't sketched outside for a while, all studio work, but I'll be back at Sketching in Nature soon, promise!
