Postcard 1

Postcard 1
For the next few weeks, I'm hoping to paint a postcard a day and send it to someone special - hopefully you can follow my progress here on my blog!  

Postcard 1 is the view form a garden in Cornwall - this view is so inspiring and can be seen in a different light many times throughout the day.  Hydrangeas and daisies are lining edges to paths and the countryside is rich with deep green colours.   Although it is now late evening and dark here, I can see the cliffs to the left of this photo (out of sight here) are illuminated as producers and a team film the new movie "About Time"!

  6. Hi Katherine, yes I agree, the clouds are amazing. This was taken as the sun was setting and the clouds had a pinky edge!

  7. Hi Renate, thanks for leaving a message - I hope they like it, hope you have a good weekend too. It's fairly quiet here, I wonder whether it's due to the olympics??

  8. Hi Judith, thanks :-) I thought of it a while ago - it's a way of being able to paint during a very busy period of time and I hope it makes a few people smile!
