I had lots of fun last Autumn after spotting the great pumpkin fields on the way to Titchfield. Check out this oil sketch in Prospect, Lee as part of the Arts Festival. On now until July 9th.

And the next day it snowed! – We are heading back from a lovely week at home in Wales. I’ve not painted our house really before so this was a first, and it was starting to feel a bit Spring-like. The sky was very blue and reflected in the wet lane.
