The holiday is over, the postcards all sent. I enjoyed making the cards and so I’ve decided to continue this painting experiment. I hope it will be interesting to see how it unfolds and as people pass by I hope to receive feedback on my efforts and maybe suggestions for improvement too. Here is a still life I painted yesterday using water colours on water colour paper. It’s a jug full of lavender with an apple beside it. Damn thing looks too much like a tomato for my liking! I’m pleased with the shape of the jug and the general shading and I enjoyed mixing colours for the lavender.
