Sunday 04. 05. 14 A bright sunny day here today altho a bit cool. Yesterday we celebrated Carole’s 70th birthday chez Jason with an English Tea Party in the afternoon. Dot’s 70th was also celebrated in Plaissan yesterday too and I can now finally show the painting of the Pont du Gard that John commissioned from me

Saturday 26. 04. 14 Today I have finally had a chance to work on some monoprints incorporating dried flowers. I’m hopping to do one flower a month depending on which flowers are blooming. This is Broom from a month ago. Tomorrow I’m hoping to pick some poppies which should be dry by the time I get from Australia in June.

 

Saturday 26. 04. 14 Have finally finished a couple of paintings that I have been working on for ages. Interesting how sometimes a painting needs to be left for a while whilst others can be finished in nearly one session.

 

Wednesday 23. 04. 14 Did another monoprint of St Gregory’s Hemingstone this morning with a different composition. It has created some confusion for Chris and Viv as to which one to get!

Monday 21. 04. 14 Did a new chalk drawing for my bedroom wall today along with starting a new monoprint for St Gregory’s which I will print tomorrow.

Sunday 20. 04. 14 A day for finishing up and getting ready for new projects. I finished Bede House for Chris and Viv and also coloured in a monoprint of St Gregory’s their parish church in Hemingstone.

Tuesday 15. 04. 14 This is another that has been hanging around for a while. It is based on a photo I took over in the Corbières when Jason and I went over there in 2010.

 

Sunday 13. 04. 14 I realise that I have been working on this painting since last May but I think it is finally finished. This morning I took out the posts in the foreground and decided that it needed something else so put in Van Gogh returning from a day’s painting. It seems to work!
