That's sad ..

I was finishing off my painting of The Priory Garden today so I could start another picture in art group tomorrow .. I done everything apart from the white rowing boat, so I waited for all the top water washes to dry,  played with this watery watercolour ....

and then attempted to rub off the masking fluid .... rub, rub, rub .. but to no avail ... the fluid seems to have, over the course of the summer, merged with the paper and WILL NOT budge!!!!!!
Well there's one to remember .. don't leave masking fluid on for long!!!!!
Anyway.. I think the rest of it looks good!

Happy days!

Week two of new painting group

Carry on with my painting of The Priory garden .. concentrating on the boarders.

Happy days!

Ahh! A new Baby ...

I've done these for a family down the road who've just become Grandparents!  How sweet!

Happy days!

Whey hey ...

Class has started again, a new venue and a new day of the week ...
Working on this watercolour

 It's one of the Gardens of The Priory Hotel in Wareham, Dorset. A beautiful place.
It's nice to be back as I kinda lost my mojo over the summer!

Happy Days!

Sunny pic ..

... finished!

Happy, sunny days!

Creative input ...

The 'Cat that isn't ours' watched with interest as I sat painting outside in the lovely sunshine ... and came and added her creative input (her fur!) into my painting!!

Happy Days! 

Lovely Sunday ...

Today was interesting, we wandered round 5 of the Cambridge Open Studios with Big Blue One's Mum, walking 7737 steps ....
First stop was Rhiannon Thomas and her friend Lauren Rowden at one house.
Then across the road to Yvonne Jerrold in another house ..
Then we had a bit of a meander to Cathy Parker in her studio/house.
Along to Anne Culver and down the road to Susan Cupitt in her potters studio .. then we wandered back via an ice cream stop!  We then watched the final stage of the Tour De France which was won by Bradley Wiggins .. an Englishman!!!!
