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

A return trip to the West Wood in the Forest of Bere near Wickham. It was dry! The whole time I was there painting. Masses of catkins are well on their way to maturity, in our out of kilter early UK spring. They are a bit too small to see in the photo.

‘Some sort of mixture’, showing some of the things that I have been plodding on with since I last posted – sometimes there’s no internet to post as I finish…or I’m in a rush…..or its too dark to photograph… I’ve been very grateful recently, to watch and follow both Marc Delassio and Peter Brown.
