Here's once again my 'Don't keep things bottled up' painting for #JanuArty Day 19 #Liquid 🍷, and as a reminder to myself that I have to paint something new...

Have a great Friday and an even better weekend!

Good morning on this very dull and dreary Sunday in London ☁️!
The Spring seems so far away, so here are some cheerful blossoms to (hopefully) brighten up your day 😊

I have been painting these snow-covered holly leaves (and berries) since last December... Will have to sit down and finish them, but that's not happening before the kids have gone back to school.
Their break is not even halfway through and I miss my 'me time' already... 😒

Here's my Weeping willow painting, because what could be more soothing and relaxing than painting a serene nature scene with willow tree branches gently swaying over a lily pad lake! 🍃🌿🍃

My daughter and I painted this rose bouquet a few years ago. This started as a lockdown kids entertainment project (as I run out of ideas 🙄), but we had so much fun doing it and she was so happy to paint with mum... I'll treasure this little painting for the rest of my days💗

Here's my 'Lost in time' #painting for day 9 of the #ArtAdventCalendar ✨

(Still not sure about these grapevines, will probably get rid of them and go back to the shady / mouldy wall ... 🤔)
