Moulsford #281

Daily painting #281 watercolor and pen sketch in personal journal NFS 

I am afraid for now you are going to have to put up with snippets of little painting sketches from my personal journal...

I have only completed 3 little daily paintings in oils while here (and loads of little watercolor paintings in my journal) and none of them are dry yet!!!! And I leave for home on Wed....the oil paint seems to take much longer to dry here so no more oil painting until I get home....so some little daily entries from my journal....

Evening sky from Reigate cricket club #280

Daily painting #280  watercolor in sketchbook NFS

After spending an awesome day in London and seeing the fabulous Charlie and the Chocolate Factory at the Theatre Royal in Covent Garden, we headed back to Reigate to join some of my husbands friends at the Reigate Priory Cricket Club. The evening sky at 9 pm was spectacular! Another little share from my personal sketchbook journal....

Old Winsor #279

Daily painting #279. Pen, ink and watercolor sketch in journal NFS

Not much time to paint today although our boys played at the most picturesque school, St Johns Beaumont. The buildings looked like something out of a Harry Potter movie and the rolling grounds had horses grazing in them. The most beautiful settings for plein air painting but I am afraid I was watching cricket. So today I am sharing with you a little painting sketch I did in Old Winsor today along the banks of the Thames. This little painting sketch is in my journal....

Daily painting #277. 6"x8" oil on primed canvas panel 

I found these beauties growing along the side of the cricket field. Portions of the rose bush were entangled in a mass of other shrubbery with heavy heads of full blooms popping out in different directions....

The boys played a game in Berkshire yesterday at a school called Eagle House. Such beautiful grounds and the boys were still playing cricket at 7pm! We had a beautiful day with sunshine until 9pm....and no rain! A good day of cricket for our boys and beautiful weather to sit outdoors and paint!

Wild raspberry #275

Daily painting #275 pen, ink and watercolor on primed canvas panel

Amy and I had the most awesome day in London yesterday, visiting galleries and walking around. She was an absolute star ...on and off the underground and walking more than I think her little feet ever have! I love being able to walk around so much .... London I have missed you and visiting again is just awesome! On our walk home from the train station at about 7pm last night (feeling safe...something I miss) Amy and I were marveling at all the beautiful gardens and window boxes. We came across a wild raspberry bush which was growing along a fence. It was heavy with fruit and the ground was littered with little crimson spots. This is one we picked up off of the floor....
