Secret Corners

If you are like me and love to have a little look at other peoples gardens you might like to see where I do some of my thinking. This is one of several corners of my garden which I have designed to be quiet spaces, each one catches the best of the sun at different times of day and each one gives a me different view of the garden. Our resident family of blackbirds are so confident that they are happy to splash in the bath whilst I sit and drink my tea and record their antics in my sketch book. At the moment I have so many ideas for new work it is difficult to know what to paint first but at the moment I am concentrating on the work that will be on show at the Exhibition in the gardens at RHS Harlow Carr in Harrogate. More details of that can be found on my events page. I hope you are enjoying the glorious sunshine, I am off out now to help at the Wetherby Lions Real Ale Festival that should be fun and I expect more inspiration for another painting!
