I dont usually post flower photos because I have a shaky hand, so I usually leave it to those who do it well
But the heather and montbretia / crocosmia is so vibrant just now
Magenta is a difficult colour in painting because it is so powerful, and the powder pigment that I bought in Venice seems to have got everywhere!
Our magenta rugosa roses are nearly over but they are our biggest success story, thriving inspite of our strong salt winds
We are delighted to have berries on one of our rowan trees for the first time, we planted about 20 rowans 6 years ago, and most have survived, and a few have flowered for the last 3 years, but the blossoms always get blown off before the berries set.

time for red
Bought some new paints today as I have completely run out
Had to buy locally where there isn’t much choice
They only had red, yellow blue and white in big tubes, so I got all three
Realized that I don’t use red much, or not recently anyway
Is that something to do with mood?
Anyway, here are some red works from a few months ago
new page alert
new look, please be patient
there are no pages anymore
the static pages with old work were I ut of date and boring, so they’re gone
I will make new pages
one about where I live in beautiful county donegal, ireland, which I intend to update with regular local snaps
and a page of tools and techniques and the mediums that I use
so please be patient
in the meantime I will continue to post regular blogs of my paintings
thanks
Liz
