My background to painting outside stems from early childhood. No matter what the weather - I'll always try and paint outside of my studio to capture the subject matter be it animals, landscapes or as is often the case - a combination!
Beautiful autumn colouring this year inspired me to capture the cherry trees on the stray in Harrogate - slightly windy conditions made the outdoors challenging but well worth the effort - !
Had a fabulous time at the gardens of Monet in the tranquil village of Giverny. Made all the more exciting when a massive storm hit the village the evening we arrived - ended up eating my Sea Bass in a plate full of rainwater..... as the restaurant got deluged!
So much creative Inspiration on one London Trip - I always get excited traveling from Leeds to London by train, arriving at Kings Cross and stepping into the vibrant buzz of the metropolis of culture. I recently visited for a three-day trip with my husband, Peter...........Where to Start?!
