#commission #JaneAusten #PleinAir @JaneAustenHouse #Hampshire @HantsCulture #OilPaint The best day of last week’s outdoor work – then it got COLD! Excited to be able to share this work one day…. I have been looking in, through the window Austen looked out through, as she wrote. Her small writing table clearly in view. How special is

Looking out from St Catherine’s Hill and the water meadows near Winchester yesterday. I think ‘medium cold’ would be my assessment if the weather. More blue needed – I think I can hear Marc Dalessio’s voice in my head! The small detail at the top of this post on my website is the more successful

Two firsts today – finally got an opportunity to use my new painting box outside, and use the first of my first stretched linen canvases, sealed by my first ever rabbit skin glue mixture!

I love the teasles in Alverstoke Valley; their little structures poke up into the light of the sky, from the start of the Autumn and then all Winter long. Think I’ll head back there today…

Another at one of my local @nationaltrust properties. Met two really fun dogs called Truffle and Crumble. Woof!

#drawing #ink #PleinAir #trees Enjoying the late sun at one of my local National Trust properties yesterday. I seem to get attracted to trees quite often at the moment and the selection here with autumn colours was beautiful! I liked this tree especially, as the dark holes in its trunk echoed the dark windows on
