Another summer comes to an end, and before we know it, the festive season starts. Where did the last few months go?

Well, for me it was a mixture of finally going on holiday to Europe for a few weeks, followed by a few more weeks of being under the weather. I have plenty of time cleared in the diary and no energy to paint. Luckily my holiday gave me so many inspirational pictures to work from and I am looking forward to painting new art, ready for the December exhibition at Denbies.

Green has featured quite a bit in my new pictures, which is a move away from all the blues of the spring I had an obsession with. Autumn’s Approach is the latest to be added to my collection. I love laying under the branches of trees and finally relaxing on a cooler summer day. Just imagine, letting your body relax and your imagination drift away.
