For my friend ...

... who sadly lost her Mother, who loved violets, a year ago ...

Peterhof Palace Gardens, St Petersburg

We went here a few years back.. stunning place! Loved it ... though we had a VERY HOT coach journey there!

The red rose

finished yesterday ...

Last class ... before Easter

And we did waves and light shining through trees ... as always, very interesting.

Spring has sprung ...

Finished this one today ... Pleased with it .. going onto my mother's day cards ..

Class this week was ....

.... drawing people!

Sunken Garden, Hampton Court ...

... but not the famous Hampton Court ... oh no! ...this is the sunken garden at Hampton Court Castle in Leominster, Herefordshire ... a lovely place to visit. I finally finished it properly today 5/4/2012 as I wasn't happy with the waterfall ... my art teacher told me how to make it better!

Painshill .. version 2

I painted this view in Painshill Park, Cobham, Surrey .. about 9 years ago (See 15th Nov 2011) ... now I've just done it again .. I like it!

le Hameau, Versailles

This took a long time .. it's ok ..
I'm sad that beacause it had taken so long the masking tape tore the paper a bit! Still can't be helped!

Happy Days!
