Hi Everybody

With a walk or sitting in the garden as the only outdoor options possible in these unprecedented times I am pleased to tell you that it has been is a really beautiful weekend here in the South Of England. Warm and sunny , a perfect April day.

Having done the walk, time to enjoy the garden and an opportunity to paint a small watercolour of one corner of it.

A Corner of the Garden. Watercolour 11 inches by 8 on Fabriano paper.

Our small Magnolia is flowering nicely this year, it must have liked the wet winter and the warm weather now,as we are too!

i also managed to paint another pen and was sketch of Portrush in Northern Ireland this weekend too. We had visited port rush last year, and it  has, over the years, become a very nice, if a it busy, seaside resort with fine beaches and many new restaurants. And of course it is on the fabulous North Antrim Coast which has featured in many posts on this blog before.

Portrush, the Inner Harbour. Watercolour 11 inches by 8 on Fabriano paper.

This watercolour is of the Inner harbour where many small boats moor and where the quaysides are lined with restaurants. A nice place to stop at after driving all the way up the Causeway Coastal Route.

Stay well and be safe
