The park in our garden is bursting with atumn colour, With a wide variety of oak trees as well as cherry trees, and pine trees, olive trees and others I cant remember the name of. It is quite daunting conveying all the different nuances of ochres. but the process is what is important and the joy that comes from doing it. As always.

I don’t know the name of this rose,but it is a lovely soft yellow climbing rose and overflowing with blooms in June. I love yellows and oranges in summer with a lot of white and accents of blue. Isn’t nature perfect in its inspration?

Yesterday was cold and grey and it was unpleasant being outside, so a still life was my choice of duty. I felt much better after completion of the still life; Not sure whether it is was the fact that I painted, ot the bright yellow of the suflowers. Probably a good mix of both.

Today was sunny and warm and pleasant. No question. A plein air was on the the to-do-list. The garden is in a state of neglect with us working on the house and the cottage the last few months. I think the painting perfectly reflects the charotic character of my unkempt garden of late.
