A quick sketch

Doing this sketch provided a relaxing few minutes yesterday evening. Watercolour pencils are invaluable when space and effort are limited!!

Fascinating Colours

There were fascinating salt patterns on this wall, changing the original brick colours dramatically. It gave me yet another water-colour challenge to enjoy.

Stormy Weather

There have been severe weather warnings for the whole of today with people being advised to stay indoors. A wise move!

A Happy Day Out in London

I went up to Harrods today with two friends, Jean and Lee
The restaurant was very Christmassy, putting us in the mood to enjoy our Christmas dinner.
The food was beautifully displayed. We found it difficult to make our selection. In the end we had an excellent meal and ate far too much.

Finally we went up to enjoy seeing the Christmas lights in Oxford Street.

Italian Village

This is my latest watercolour picture, painted in my art class under the guidance and supervision of Steve Cook.

Visiting Witches

These two 'Wicked Witches' arrived at our door, on their broomsticks, this evening! They sang their witchy song for us:
'A funny little lady in a pointed hat on my doorstep, rat-a-tat-tat,
When I went to open it she was not there,
But off on broomstick way up in the air.'

They deserved their 'Magic' sweets and went off home, with their nan, very happily.

Nerines

The Nerines in my garden have been lovely this year. They are almost past their best now but I managed to find these this morning.
