Looking on the bright side

 

As the rain continues to fall and the river levels continue to rise it is easy to begin to feel rather fed up with our British weather. Dark skies, wet and cold,  muddy paws and dripping rain coats everywhere. It isn't so easy to get enthusiastic about walking  in this climate, but Mother Nature is a wonderful thing. Just when you are feeling the winter blues approaching she senses we need cheering up and sends us something to brighten our day ! So think again we wouldn't have had this gift without the rain. Did you get one too?

                                        

Every day a new inspiration

 

Sometimes the simple things in life are where the inspiration comes from. Just look at this cake asking to become part of my next painting I only went into the shop for a loaf of bread and came out with this little beauty! So here I am at the dining room table with my sketch book and a cup of coffee. Take a look at my gallery in a couple of weeks and see if you can spot where this luscious lovely turns up.

I have finished sketching now and I can tell you it tastes as good as it looks!
