LILLIES IN HALF BARREL IN GARDEN


After doing some household chores, decided to have an hour in the garden after scrambled egg  lunch in the sunroom with Clive. Amazingly it was sunny and warm, so I sat on the wooden steps leading down to our tiny pond where I have this half barrel full of lillies, petunias and strawberries. Used my 11" square Hazel Soan watercolour rough paper block. As you can see, the barrel is falling apart!

I seem to be having real trouble trying to upload images onto the new Google Chrome set up, so I think I had better just refer you all to my flickr account for this watercolour effort:

Thats the reason I have not added any new posts of late - as every time there is a problem.

Try reducing the pictures to 500 pixels wide in the little Paint software programme on your computer. They will load up in a jiffy that way. S x (dodging the rain in Cornwall)

Very nice, Joan. I wonder how you could paint this without eating the strawberries:-)

Thanks Sandra - hope you are enjoying yourself. And Christiane - an hour later and I noticed the birds had helped themselves to bites from some of the strawberries, so maybe I should gobble them up!

Upload them to flickr then share to blog.
