Alternative decoration

When someone comes and knocks a hole in your chimney breast and creates a massive redecoration situation, don't get down, just welcome a new artwork opportunity !

Topiary Heaven

 Pamela and her gardening girlfriends would have been in their element if they had been with me on a visit to Brodsworth Hall last week. The topiary was just up their street, with sketchbook in hand I spent a glorious afternoon with extra inspiration from the croquet match that was taking place. Sunshine and Smiles indeed !

The Tockwith Show

Last Sunday we had a grand day out. Tockwith Show is our local traditional show where I get lots of inspiration for my paintings. From 'The Cake Tent' to 'The Pride and Joy of Mr Mcavoy'. Pet rabbits and fancy foul, Pony Club games and Shire Horses, Terriers and Tractors, Crafts and Baking, a feast for the eyes. We took it in turns to look after the little gazeebo where I was selling bits and bobs so that we could each enjoy a day full of Sunshine and Smiles.
