Sunday Supplement: Back to Nature






I confess these watercolour paintings were not done en plein air but the images are taken from

    Thank you for such a kind comment, juls. When I paint straight from nature it's better in a way but I find it so difficult getting it all in on the page! The outdoors isn't really my metier but I am encouraged to try harder now.

    These are so quiet and beautiful. And a bit mysterious too.
