Summer Flowers 3

8″X6″ Acrylic on board

The garden isn’t at its best at this time of year but I managed to find this bunch of assorted daisies, phlox and mallow. There is also a kind of white berry which I remember from my childhood, but can’t for the life of me nam… [...]

Geraniums on the Patio

7″X5″ Acrylic on board

Canada Day

5″X7″ Oil on board

Nasturtiums

(revision: this image did not upload properly last night, I have updated it now)

10″X16″ Watercolour on paper

Rudbeckia ACEO

2.5″X3.5″ Acrylic on paper

I probably won’t be posting for the next few days, I am going to Montreal for a long-overdue visit with my eldest. I will try to fill my sketchbooks with lots of urban scenes.

Mirror

5″X7″ Oil on board

I can’t for the life of me remember what these are called. They are quite rose-like, especially the buds, but are thornless and the leaves are arranged in opposing pairs (decussate?). I picked up a couple of bunches at the market… [...]
