Happy New Year to you all!

Yesterday Barry and I drove out to Frampton Marsh to take some photos in the fog! It was so gorgeous and I am very excited at the thought of getting down to some new work in 2011 and getting out to paint in the fresh air! I took some close up photos of some seed heads against the foggy background and I can feel some abstracts coming on! I need big canvases though and a huge studio. Hello Aunt Agnes... I hope your garage isn't too cold!

Also, to encourage subscribers and followers I am taking a leaf out of Loriann's book and will be a organising my first painting give away... details to follow... since I am having a little tipple before our New Year's dinner... I might get carried away and offer a 60" x 60" by mistake! I have now been doing this blog for just over a year so I think it's time to celebrate!

I forgot..

I forgot to post the final part of the interview that Loriann Signori graciously conducted and posted on her blog. Thanks Lori, for the great publicity!

Back Home in the UK

Well, I have been here for a couple of days now and thank goodness this morning I woke up to a beautiful sunny autumn morning after one very gloomy day and a day of continuous rain! Above are a couple of photos from my Dad's garden, since I haven't managed to get down to work yet as I have my son with me. My daughters met me from the airport, which was lovely!

Loriann Signori posted the second part of her interview the other day, so I hope you will take a look. I think she has done a great job!

Plus I have finally managed to do a new website. I keep finding little glitches, and hopefully I have fixed them all, but do let me know if I missed something!
