Alan’s Birthday

Alan was just expecting 4 friends to come and celebrate his birthday, but I organised a lot more.! 12 people came and Ruth baked him a cake, we had a lovely afternoon, the sun shone so we were able to spend some time in the garden. A nice time all round.

Emperor Moth

Isn’t this just beautiful, I found this Emperor Moth in the garden as I was hanging out the washing, it was in the grass and I nearly trod on it. I am so glad I saw it in time, I have never seen one in real life before, the colours are just amazing and the eyes look so real. Made my day. 🙂

What a view

What a view!!

New Style

I decided I was getting bored with my old style of painting, so I have taken a new turn in style and painting medium, I have gone from oils to acrylic. And I must say I really enjoyed the experience, although I have never used acrylics before, I think I am going to like them.
The difference was that the acrylics dry really fast, where as an oil painting could take me months to finish, I did the painting below in four hours.!!
I have also changed to a more impressionistic style too.
