Dancing Trees and a garden

Thursday 16. 04. 20 A good studio day today. I did the small painting of Marg and Stan’s garden and then worked on my Dancing Trees painting. It was good to work on a larger scale again.

Good Friday

Friday 10. 04. 20 I did the Tulips yesterday for Alisa’s birthday card and also started the HyperU one in the V/V series. I finished that today and also Judi’s Garden. A busy day.

New series

Wednesday 08.04. 20 Started a new series today called Gardens, inspired by David Hockney who has been painting his garden in Normandy. As I don’t have a garden, I have asked friends to send photos of theirs. This is Philippe’s garden. The other painting is of the bus stop, where I usually catch the bus for Montpellier. Note the graffiti on the bus shelter!
