A little apple #282

Daily painting #282 pen, ink and watercolor in personal journal NFS

We played a cricket game at a lovely school called St Johns Beaumont. When we asked a parent for directions to the cricket field we were told...."find a parking, walk through the woods and at the foot of the hill you will find a cricket field"! Need I say more....the school grounds were breathtakingly beautiful! One of the parents on a walk around the school's stunning grounds found this little apple which must have fallen from a tree prematurely. Knowing I would be on the search for something to paint for my daily painting, she gave it to me. I carried it home in my hat and made a quick little painting sketch in my journal....

Sorry today's post is going out so late....the Wi-fi connection in the house we are staying in seems to crash occasionally when too many people are using it....not being my home I wasn't sure how to reset it so have had to wait until this evening for everything to be rebooted! No internet connection feels like my arm has been cut off......terrible! Oh well...better late than never!

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....

There is an abundance of strawberries in the shops in London at the moment with all the Wimbledon fever! I think we put them to good use this evening....Pimm's and strawberries and a bit of sunshine at 9pm! You can't beat that....

Shrewsberry....wild roses #277

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....

A day in Berkshire #276

Daily painting #276. 4" x6" oil on primed canvas panel

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!
