Here's an interesting silluette which I spotted on the way back from the park. I'm always pleased to get blue sky as a background.

I love finding fallen petals and leaf patterns. They are great fun to rework their colour, size and fluency. There are a lot of designs to be made from a signed photo like this.

This is a leaf from one of my disiduous furns. They look incredible in the summer, filling the garden with lush foliage.

My friend had a baby called Jasmine this week and my Climbing Jasmine is looking the best it's ever been.

My Arun Lilly is the show stopper of my garden. It is the subject of many pieces of art too.

After my run this morning I walked to cool down and saw this awesome Red Hot Poker.

As I walked into the road where I live I could smell a soft, scent of rose. I stopped to smell the bloom. Nothing beats the smell of a garden rose.

All the leaves are catching the rays. Summer is just beginning. These long days are full of optimism for the months ahead.

The flower was reminds me of my friend's wedding in Brittany as this was the first time I had seen it.

I like the way the colours of these flowers blend. You can use flowers like paint. Dark colours can be used to add shade and depth. Whilst different colours can be mixed to blend into one colour akin to pointillism.

I don't recall ever seeing yellow poppies before so I was excited to find these at Regents Park.

Different types off grass are fascinating. My parents have place matts with laminated dried grasses. They make great prints if dipped in die/paint and can also be used as a mask when pigment is painted onto paper and pressed on top so that the colour prints around them.

Today I went to a roof top garden on the Southbank. I met my friend Jen who I hadn't seen for ages and I found these beauties too.
5th May
Pretty pleased with this Aquilegia photo. The yellow and green verigated ivy make a great background for the purple flower.
4th May
I love the brown/aging parts of a flower because they suggest where I should paint gold. I'd like to paint this pink flower and give it the heroic guild it deserves. After all, this Camelia shrub has been flowering since March.

When you are looking for beauty you find things you have never seen before.
