Happy Christmas to you and Best Wishes for 2022
“Kentish Winter”. St Margarets Church and Oasts in Horsmonden. Watercolour 14 by 10 inches
Hi Everybody
This is probably my last post of 2021 and although it has been a pretty dreadful year over all my watercolour painting has been a great thing to keep me busy and with many paintings finished and quite a lot sold, donated or given away I have had great pleasure from my hobby!
I hope for everyone that 2022 will be a better year and that we will all manage to learn to live with the remnants of Covid and once again be able to travel and meet up with Family and Friends.
I hope to continue painting lots of watercolours, in differing styles and sizes , including my venture into watercolours painted on to prepared canvases.
“Waves” Petts Level in East Sussex from Camber Sands. Watercolour on Canvas 16 inches by 12
We have few travel plans for 2022 so I hope these will enable me to visit some new places and paint so new scenes whilst there.
In the mean time my Best Wishes to you all and take care, stay well and look forward to a much nicer 2022.

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!

A walk in the snow
Hi Everybody
I am always most amused when the weather forecasters give us long term predictions and this year is no exception. Apparently we will always get less snow in the future. Aha! I think they said that in 1987 when we had the Great Storm in England followed by 3 feet of snow that lasted weeks and weeks, closed schools and businesses and was a lot of fun for some!
So I am not holding my breath, but as I look out on a dreary, foggy December day here in Kent I do wonder if a bit of snow might liven things up a bit, at least that would be a better reason for huddling round the fire than Covid!
Thus I am thinking that I will preempt the now inevitable snow ( now that the forecasters say we might not have any!!) by putting some of some Kent and Sussex winter scenes that I have painted watercolours of in the past and maybe then I can settle down at the easel to paint a couple of new wintry scenes as well for a follow up Christmas time blog.
Here then are a selection from what turns out to be about 23 watercolours to chose from.

So there you are ,will we get any snow this year? Might be fun!
Best regards ‘to everyone
