Shoot it, Paint it. A Corner of Sissinghurst in Kent
Last weekend in the beautiful October sunshine we visited Sissinghurst Castle gardens in Kent. It is always a lovely place to visit and it is good to go there in Spring, Summer and Autumn.
We enjoyed a short sit down on a bench in the garden and took a few photos. This one I have now painted a watercolour of..
I have tried to recapture the colours of summer, so excuse the liberties taken!
I hope you like this very short post.
The Blue Danube post has had an update too with a painting of the Charles Bridge in Prague added.
Happy travels to you all!

Shoot it,Sketch it: Ballygally in Northern Ireland
Hi
By way of a change I thought I would do a Shoot it, Sketch it Blog.
Recently we stayed at Ballygally on the beautiful North Antrim Coast ( I have blogged about the beauty of this coast before) and while there took the photo below and then I managed to find a little time for a quick watercolour.
You may be able to see that the cliff outline looks so like a face in profile , and I have tried to capture the feature.
I hope you enjoy this somewhat different Blog, inspired by looking at the great artwork on Clouds of Colour!
Happy painting!
Brian
