I can’t quite believe I am on my 13th Jug . It has helped me so much doing my Friday Jug painting. I REALLY look forward to it and actually as I couldn’t go last Friday, as I was teaching a course and this Friday is Good Friday, I’m going twice this week! Shocker!

Here are the three little jugs 10/11 and 12 which are really petite and are called Finn, Fishy and Flash, they are suitable for salad dressing, cream or simply to make your kitchen pretty!

I have been getting stuck back into my ‘proper’ painting and continuing my sea studies and have started two under paintings. Which is like laying down the colour areas before starting to apply the pastel. I have called them ‘ Jewesl of the Sea’ and ‘ Lazy River’. So here are Stage 1 one each of them here.

I will be having an exhibition of some of my ‘Wonders of Water’ painting and also some abstracts in November at Chantry House Gallery, at Ripley North Yorkshire. I will have floral work too at Harlow Carr in the Bath House in June for a month, so there will be lots of new paintings there. So things are ticking a long. But I am just taking it steady and also really working on my garden which is a long over due labour of love. Happy Easter everyone xxx
