Aubergines in watercolour.

The aubergines in my potager aren’t ready for picking yet, so I had to buy at the market. The first image is my latest painting, and the last three I did some years ago. I don’t think much has changed in my style when comparing these sketches.

A teapot sketch.

I did this sketch a few weeks back, at the height of my struggle to do art period, but I am glad I completed it since it got me started on my way back to sketching.

This year my garden is looking rather sad. Apart from the late frost we've had, there are all kinds of insects that are devouring my plants. I just saw this morning my big artichokes cut right off at the roots, all toppled over. And the cherry on the cake is my lack of will and inspiration to get going and dig into the garden. But there are a few plants fhat just keep going all on their own, of which the chives is one. What a delight to have it in the garden. It makes up for the all the rest. Sometimes a garden has a will of its own.

My wisteria was filled with buds this year, but was killed off with the late frost we had, so no flowers this year! This is an image from last year.

Rosemary for the kitchen. My rosemary bushes in the garden are enormous. Strangely enough, our late frost that we got did no harm to the abundance of flowers they have and it gives such pleasure to see the bees working in the rosemary bushes. They even follw the picked rosemary inside!

Time for some horseriding. Within the allowed 10 km radius of course.

Mushroom soup and November colours. November 7, 2020
A mushroom velouté is just what we need for the month of november. I used the ordinary champignon de Paris, the button mushroom, but the bolet from Bordeaux also makes an excellent velouté for a special evening since it is rather on the expensive side. If you are looking for a quick and inexpensive, but…

Washing muddy horses. February 15, 2014
The big problem with draft horses roaming free in the pastures is that they get very dirty in winter. and of course they hate being closed up. Living on hills don’t make it any easier. So we keep them in a smaller camp, both for their own sake and for the fields’ sake. But with […]
