Secret garden

Over the next few days, my wife and step-daughters are camping a few miles out in the Cambridgeshire countryside and taking in the sights and sounds of the eclectic local arts festival that is  The Secret Garden Party. Whilst they're all away, I'll be sorting out my art materials for the family summer holiday in Dorset here in the UK the week after next. I may also get around to a spot of much needed real gardening myself, if only to mow the lush meadow at the front of the house!

I thought these small studies of fruit and vegetables I did last winter were quite appropriate for this post. Hopefully, I may also get around to doing something new over the weekend but this may be my last post until I get back from holiday. Before you all start to weep LOL, I do intend to do lots of sketching there, and hopefully a couple of full paintings and if I get the chance and manage to get a decent cellphone signal, I may even post while I'm there! Bye bye for now :)
