Last one of the cardoons!

 

I am enjoying painting the cardoons!

 This is the second painting of the cardoons from my brothers garden,  I have already started a third!!

Cardoon from my brothers garden

 I haven't painted pure water colour in a couple of months but I came home from a visit to my brothers with these cardoon and just had to paint them.

Joined Paul at his exhibit venue on the Leigh Art Trail

 I joined Paul at Millys delicatessen for a couple of hours sketching on what turned out to be a very hot day.   This summer has been so variable that I really havent done much sketching at all!

Spent a chilly afternoon at a friends yoga retreat.

 There came a point when it was too cold to sit and sketch anymore!  So I didnt do as much as I had hoped.  

A morning spent chatting and sketching in a friends garden.
