Greetings

Hello again girls!

Here I am on holiday once again! Last summer we had a lovely visit down to see the family and stayed on the Yorkshire Dales.  Richard knew how much I love anything to do with the Bronte's so 
the first visit we took was to Haworth vicarage to see the home of the Bronte's. It is a wonderful museum and we also had a wonderful drive across dales and then moorlands to reach it. The old village of Haworth is also beautiful with fine old buildings, tea rooms and views across to the moors in the distance.   I am once again back to painting moorlands so this holiday did indeed make a big impression on me, though it is the rugged terrain of Caithness that I am painting.  

Here is my latest work in progress. It is in oils on canvas 40 x 40 cm.

There are two more weeks left of our painting term and then we will break up for our summer holiday.  Next week I will be speaking about painting a landscape with a croft in it. The following week it would be lovely to see a painting from you at home of a croft.  It can be in any medium.
I look forward to hearing from you!


This week we start off with a visit to Susan's beautiful garden.  Susan lives right out in the countryside and we can see she has worked hard over the years to create this wee paradise! Thank you Susan for sharing your lovely garden with us.

Beautiful wildflowers in a meadow from Vera.

Rich colours of red and green and a beautiful textured poppy from Carol.

Precise and delicate pastel pencil pansy from Avril.

Beautiful painting of bindweed by Sandra, pinks and greens another nice combination.  Sandra's grand daughter has been missing her friends during the lockdown. She is very creative like her grandmother! Sandra has made cards from her artwork so her grand daughter can post her greetings to her friends through their letter boxes! Such a nice thought and much appreciated.

Ena says hello from Buckie! she is hoping to move house very soon and she has taken photos of her paintings for us to see. 

Alison MacDonald had a visit from her grandson to her garden where he had a game of tennis. She decided to paint him. This is her first figure painting and I think you will agree she has done really well!

Ann has also been visited by her grandchildren and her garden has a nice display of lavender.  So she decided it was time to get the paints out and paint this lovely lavender field on canvas. 

And finally Margaret's fine painting of a Highland Coo, wishes you all a lovely weekend.
Stay safe and Happy Painting!
